Dear prefrosh,

Welcome to Harvard! We’re so excited to host you during Visitas this weekend. We won’t lie — Visitas is a crazy, chaotic weekend filled with meeting tons of new people, navigating a completely unfamiliar environment, and attending a range of events. However, it can also be a fun and fulfilling experience — one that led us to find some of our future best friends and roommates on campus. We’ve compiled a list of advice and recommendations for you as Visitas weekend approaches! Have a great time — and go Crimson!
