Are the old GC supposed to be nicer than the new one? From the floor plans it looked like the old GC rooms were smaller (10 by 10). I also couldn't find pictures of what the rooms look like - if anyone has some please do share!
Does anyone know if you can rent apartments (whether Harvard's or outside) for just the academic year (September to May/June)? I'm probably going to be abroad in the summer so I don't really want to be in a year-long contract. I'm also considering the GSAS dorms but I'd rather not live in a dorm as a postgrad .
I'm actually a masters candidate. I didn't get involved with NELC stuff until later in college, and I wanted to get more training in language as well as complete a thesis, before I give my best shot at a PhD later on. So I'm eyeing schools like Georgetown, NYU, and a couple of Ivy reaches.
