So technically, I really don't have to go back to campus unless I want to, but I don't think it makes much sense as student government president to not do so. For my degree record sheet, it shows the three classes I took on Zoom during the pandemic as satisfying the on campus requirement. That being said, given the stigma that lingers for HES (it's way better these days than even ten years ago but let's not act like there aren't naysayers out there) I think it helps us to go on campus and have the full Harvard experience, experience the athletics, various museums and libraries, and take advantage of career services.
Having joined athletic clubs, immersed in the museums, done homework in libraries, participated in social/music events at the Smith center and Lehman Hall... I can say that it's a TOTALLY different and WAY better experience than solely online.
Hang out on the tenth floor of the Smith Center to do homework. I found tons of natural light and a GREAT view helped keep me energized. Also, when you take a break, you might fall into a fooseball or billiards game with other students. That's always fun!
