Education Beyond the Classroom
Your Harvard education is more than coursework—it is also the experiences and friendships you form in activities outside the classroom.
Extracurricular activities are a great way to meet people, pursue your interests, try new things, and develop practical skills like business management or effective writing.
At Harvard, there are more than 450 recognized student organizations that span a range of interests and skill levels. You can do anything from rowing to dance, from cultivating happiness to high-impact philanthropy. Your options are virtually unlimited.
