...want to study late at night--after universal card key access has been turned off--with a classmate who lives in Mather House, I will be forced to wait outside, alone, until someone lets me in. This might take mere seconds, or it could take minutes if I have to call up and wait for my friend to come down and open the door. Regardless of how long it takes, while I wait for entrance to the dorm, I am not safe at all. It is a perfect opportunity for a criminal to prey on a young female...

...women. Harvard has agreed to bestow its once-in-a-lifetime college experience on us, the most unique pool of students in the country. We are assumed to be the exemplars of well-roundedness, or else we might never have been granted acceptance. We cannot possibly be a mere collection of lopsided, talent-specific individuals, but we must each know about a plethora of subjects. Maybe according to our grandmothers that is true, but in reality we are unable to step outside our itsy-bitsy space of academic interest...
