Harvard University Reviews

"Awe-inspiring, disconnected from reality, occupies its own bubble, open doors for official students, over-run by tourists, elitist, little sense of community,historic, urban, incredible resources for all things"

"The financial aid is enough. As the years go by, even though the graduate students do the same amount of work, they are paid less and that causes financial problems. Professors are not that accessible and the program does not do anything to help for future career plans. However the quality of education is really good."

"Strong graduate program with significant intellectual stimulation and probably the best place to learn Middle Eastern languages in North America, if not the world. We also have the largest faculty specializing in the region anywhere around. The only downside I can think of is that currently, we don't have a senior professor specializing in modern Middle Eastern History and several of our senior faculty is probably nearing retirement, but I'm sure they'll be ably replaced."
