Harder to Graduate from in 4 years... LSU or Harvard?

I mean, getting admitted is the hard part. Once you're in, then just do your course work. Calculus and Physics doesn't change based on where it's taught.

LSU because of the nightlife temptation

My step Father has a Masters in Finance from Harvard. He's a pretty smart guy. That's all I got.

I once dated a girl who graduated from Sarah Lawrence, which isn't Ivy, but not too far off. The amount of work required was pretty daunting. Even courses that would be considered blowoffs at LSU would have a term paper and a lot of outside reading. Yes, if you did the work it was hard to fail, and there was plenty of help if you needed it. But you did have to put in the work.

Whitworth went to Harvard?

It shouldn’t but not all schools test or grade the same and they don’t necessarily tackle the same topics. The complexity of what you are asked to do can vary a lot. It can also be tremendously different depending on which era you were in when you were in school.

I went back to school after being away from academia for thirty years. Being able to retake tests, take tests at home unsupervised, professors not being able to put something on a test that they didn’t specifically go over in class. Those things did not exist 30 years ago!

Having said that, I know nothing about Harvard. I did find LSU tough in the late 80’s early 90’s.

LSU is world class when it comes to academics. Harvard is nothing but a brand.
