What can FIPers talk to you about?
Netflix shows, books you’ve read, finding a research position/job on campus, traveling on Harvard’s dime
Why should a first-year choose FIP?
First-years! You should do FIP because it is literally going to be the most fun thing you will do during your time at Harvard. I personally met some of my closest friends during FIP and cannot recommend it enough as a great way to settle in and meet people for your time at Harvard. The leaders are always incredibly friendly and you will feel a great sense of community from the onset.
