Show Notes

Many Harvard students describe a social scene where besides a handful of bright spots — such as Housing Day and the Harvard-Yale game — traditional college revelry characterized by roaring parties, vibrant and frequent tailgates, and school spirit in abundance has been missing at Harvard.

While administrators cite a hands-off approach to social life — and a lack of available funding for College-organized parties and concerts — some students said officially sanctioned social events did not meet the mark.

This week on Newstalk, reporters Natalie K Bandura '26 and Azusa M. Lippit '26 join host Yael S. Goldstein to discuss.
