I had been so set on becoming a Cardinal that I hadnt given serious thought to the possibility of going somewhere else. As soon as I set foot in Harvard, everything felt right. The campus, the classes, the people, all made me realize there was no place else I wanted to spend the next four years.,Life at Harvard University,4 After I enrolled at Harvard, I was eager to start the next phase of my life, but anxious at the thought of being across the country so far from home.

Every single person here has the drive to learn and succeed, and I need only look across my classroom to find inspiration.,Life at Harvard University,12 This year, I live in a suite with four other girls from all over the country and abroad.
