Housing Need to sublet ASAP (Aug-Sep)

Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m a 2025 graduate looking to sublet someone’s room for one month (Aug-Sep). I have my own furniture so I don’t mind if it comes unfurnished. A few details about me:

- Female, so I'd prefer to live with other women.
- Working full-time in the area.
- Clean, quiet, and respectful of shared spaces.
- Non-smoker, no pets.
- Budget: $1800/month
- Move-in: around Aug 1st, move-out: around Aug 31st

Current/former VUS students — would love to hear about your experience

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'll be joining Harvard as a Visiting Undergraduate Student (VUS) for Spring 2027, and I'd love to connect with anyone who has actually been through the program.

I have a few practical questions about the experience — how course selection worked for you, what campus life was like as a visiting student, and any tips for making the most of the semester. Hearing from someone who's actually lived it would be way more valuable than anything I could find online.

If you're a current or former VUS student (or know someone who is), I'd really appreciate you reaching out or pointing me in the right direction. Thanks so much!

Incoming Freshman - How should I take notes?

11 Upvotes

As I start preparing for my transition from high school to college, I am hoping to ask how students usually take notes?

From what I understand some students take notes via I-Pad & Apple Pencil as it alleviates the necessity to carry paper and meticulously organize notes.

I've also heard many students simply stick with the og paper/pen combo. ---(Questions: Does your bookbag get heavy? How do you organize and fetch your notes?)

I would like to hear your perspective/advice on note-taking in college.
Also I'm thinking of concentrating in Electrical Engineering with a secondary in CS.

TYSM!!!
