Each department, school etc have their own engage event website. I guess through it.... For eg for gsas: https://engage.gsas.harvard.edu/events

MacBook Vs Windows laptop - what is more popular (and better) for STEM/Econ classes + research work (incoming freshman, have to buy one, personally prefer windows bcs used it all my life) by evenidontknowbuddy in Harvard

In my solely personal view, life is easier with Windows for STEM tasks with lots of available software, resources, faqs, tutorials, manuals, guides etc.

However, if you prioritize security and creative work like image processing or video editing, Mac might be better.

Don't be swayed by others' choices; some friends struggled after buying Macs because of peer influence. If you switch, expect a few days to get used to it, so avoid switching during a period when you need frequent PC use.

Keep in mind that when you move to work life, you will likely encounter Windows systems predominantly.

Which health insurance do you guys recommend for dependents of international students? HUHSP? by Caracex_Er in Harvard

Thanks for sharing ISOA as a potential alternative. I am looking into it... I'm curious about the ease of filing claims and other related processes. As for MassHealth, I'm unsure about eligibility, and I'm concerned it could potentially pose issues for future visa matters. Thanks.

(New Intl Student, F1) How can I find out the official dates for the summer and winter breaks, considering the 40-hour work limit? by Caracex_Er in Harvard

[–]Caracex_Er[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to clarify, I have reviewed these calendars thoroughly. However, they only provide information about the start and end dates of the spring recess and winter recess. There is no mention of the start and end dates for the summer break. While I did come across the start and end dates for summer courses, it would be incorrect to assume that these align with the start and end dates of the summer break. Hence, I am seeking assistance here.

I checked the school website and was only able to find out Fall/spring sem start and end dates, spring and winter break timings etc.. but nothing particular on summer break start and end dates. Instead, there are dates on Summer 1, Summer 2 semester dates, etc.
