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.

This x 100!

I never went to harvard but I made plenty of f's at lsu.
Wild turkey ain't no joke

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

Depends on the major, but for most it is the same or easier at Harvard. As others mentioned it is about getting in that is hard. Once there, it is no different from most any college when it comes to course load and in fact grading is likely easier because “we are taking the best kids, of course they are all going to get A’s”.

That said, LSU has also become a joke in many ways and it is way easier to get good grades now than before because they pander to the students AND many faculty don’t give a crap about teaching. It’s just an obligation to them, and easier grades means less students “needing” help.

I'm so glad I didn't have to spend hrs volunteering to pick up dog shite in a park, protesting on Capital Hill, marching in gay pride parades, taking SAT pre-test classes ad nauseum, and writing dozens of essays codifying my self worth to get into LSU.

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.

Did you row crew

Very few can afford those schools where a bad grade will end your scholarship and force you to transfer or take out massive loans. So the pressure is way more than LSU.

Props to your Dad. A MS degree in anything at 21 is impressive, let alone physics.

Thank You.
