I read in the news he was a stay at home parent and repeatedly drugged his wife before murdering her. He was a Harvard graduate but there's no details about what he did after school and why he was unemployed for so long.

For context I know some Russian, but didnt take any formal language classes due to extensive sports/travel and not having time. Looking back i definitely should have.

Wondering if this is something I should prepare for this year ( I am taking a gap year and entering fall 2027 ).

Are there people who enter these classes with 0 experience in a language? I would be interested in learning Chinese but would be an absolute beginner, is this doable? Or should I continue to advance Russian and take this?

So for some reason Harvard Key is not letting me log in anywhere using Okta except on my phone. IT people eventually told me i need to huy a $60 security usb to be able to log in. and that i'll havta use it on every device i use.

This honestly sounds insane to me. I feel like I'm in the 90s. Does anyone have any experience with that? Do I have other options? Should i escalate/ make IT complains or just get the usb?

Hi there! I recently graduated from the university of Florida with my BLA. It’s an accredited program so I do not need to go back to school to earn my license.

I am currently working full time at an office, but I think I want to return to grad school within the next two years to earn a masters degree. Specifically, I want to go to the GSD because of the faculty, resources, and fun that the program looks like.

The general consensus I hear is that MLAs are not very lucrative if you already have an undergraduate degree in landscape architecture and aren’t planning on teaching. I’m wondering what people think about Masters in Landscape Architecture / Urban Design as a way to diversify my skillset. I’m also curious to hear if anyone has had direct experience with the MLAUD program at the GSD and what there thoughts are on it.

Some other questions are: is it even a good idea to be thinking about masters right now with the current state of the industry? Should I just ride out having a full time position until things get a bit better?

FYI: I have always had an interest in urban design and some of my role models in the industry have backgrounds in the discipline. I also have an interest in eventually teaching, so I’d need the masters to do that.

Prefrosh for the class of 31’.

Mods: please dont remove post, I have received a likely letter on athletic merit as of oct 1st and thus will be attending. My previous posts were removed for some reason: You can dm me for proof.

I applied under the idea of my lifelong goal of becoming a surgeon. However, now that I have been admitted, I feel, well, lost. I am thinking now how I only liked the idea of being a surgeon but never really enjoyed biology (though I did well) I have always loved math instead. With all the doors being opened I feel like I should go into finance, or something in applied math. Does anyone have advice on how to “find my way” or have recommendations for first year classes to help decide? I am an athlete, so not a super genius by any stretch so I feel behind.

and if so could you share your experience?

yo what do u do when u genuinely walk past the library and u see people doing it in the dark? ik its a tradition and all but do i just go congrats?

Last week I tried logging into Harvard Key using my password + TOTP code and it seems that Harvard has completely disabled password-based logins. I called IT and they told me that I have to use Okta. As I use Linux, this is not an option for me.

I spent some time looking into various ways to authenticate and it seems that the only way to avoid using Okta is to use WebAuthn/passkeys. This is also a PITA on Linux, but it's better than nothing.

Have other Linux users found a way around this problem?

EDIT: Passkeys are a trap and related HN discussion.

Hi! I originally bought tickets for a a friend and I, but we ended up wanting to join some other friends that bought in another section... The tickets are for Sec G20 Row 18 Seat 6-7 and I'll be selling them face value ($169 each but willing to negotiate a bit). Please DM me if you're interested and I can also send proof if that's a concern!

(Also please let me know if this is against the subreddit rules and I'll take it down, I just didn't know where else to post this lol)

I don‘t have health insurance through Harvard. Are there counseling groups or therapy sessions that I can attend? Gambling problem. Lifetime up 600k on blackjack (pay taxes and everything) but down low six figs this year, and it takes time away from school.

I spent all Saturday at Encore and lost around 20k. Around 45k total down this week. This isn’t enjoyable and not how I envisioned grad school. Went to campus events today and made friends, which was of my main goals as a student. Wondering if there are on campus resources. Thanks.

every (open sourced btw) lecture, some interesting insight or famous problem on probability/counting, completely self contained book and course outside of a single variable calculus pre req., so intuitive and really focuses on developing understanding (story proofs etc.). what a legend, someone buy him a big box of chocolates plz.

Does anyone know why the football game in November is set for Fenway? No play clocks, obstructed sight lines and the views of the backfield are hard with the strange angles of the stands. Obviously no tailgating. Where do all the Yale people even park or do they all just take the green line?
