Pros

Great energy being in Harvard Square. Access to amazing resources. Opportunity for continuous learning.

Cons

If your program is overseen by a faculty chair, as most are at Harvard, your experience will depend on the personality and management style of the chair. Mine would speak disrespectfully to staff constantly. Expectations and goal posts changed regularly. Goals were established without sufficient resources to achieve them. Staff turned over constantly.
