Supportive Advisors
One of your first major decisions will be course selection. Whether you are a first-year or upper-level student, you will be assigned a dedicated advising team to help guide you through your academic journey.

Your First Year
As a first-year, you’ll have an advisor (faculty, staff member, or graduate student), a peer advising fellow (an upper-level student specially trained to provide assistance), and access to residence-based advising in your residence community.

With Harvard’s 7:1 student-to-faculty ratio, you will also be able to easily connect with professors in class or during drop-in hours. You can also take advantage of the Academic Resource Center, which offers tutoring, academic workshops, and advising.

Health and Well Being
Performing your best in the classroom, on the field, or in other extracurricular activities requires that you be in your best mental and physical shape. Harvard provides a wide array of health and wellness resources including the Harvard University Health Services (HUHS), Center for Wellness and Health Promotion, Counseling & Mental Health Services, and The Disability Access Office (DAO).
