Ways to Get to Class in a Storm
Autumn is rolling in with a bang. If you thought the week-long Nor’easter was bad, just wait until you get hit with a slew of midterms and essays as classes start to ramp up. Just as a New England fall brings continuous rain, your classes will bring endless pain. Admittedly, getting to class can be quite difficult, especially when you have to brave both miserable weather and campus security threats at once. So here are a few suggestions for getting to class when walking through the rain seems anything but desirable.
Flyby's Guide to Harvard for World Leaders
Harvard has been hosting some big names lately. The Prime Minister of Spain stopped by yesterday, and the President of Sierra Leone arrives next week. These are people who run literal countries and have crossed oceans to be here. But what do they get? A quick lap around Harvard Yard, a pat on the back in University Hall, and a panel at the IOP. If they’re lucky, they’ll get a photo op with John Harvard (but hopefully won’t touch his foot). Frankly, we’re disappointed. Our esteemed guests are leaving campus without seeing the real Harvard. So we’ve designed an itinerary of our own, which we hope the administration will consider implementing. Heads of state, clear your calendars and bring a pair of good walking shoes!

HUA Election Season Demands
It’s HUA election season. Suddenly, everyone and their best friend’s back-home’s mother’s cousin has an opinion on who the next HUA co-presidents should be and what their campaign priorities should be. From free MBTA shuttles and semesterly Hackathons, to promises of stronger community and HUA transparency and accountability, we’ve heard it all. Some of these proposals ring hollow, which is why we’re stepping in — here are the tangible changes we’d actually like to see on campus.
Flyby’s Official 2026 Housing Day Video Ranking
We came, we saw, and we most definitely conquered last Friday. From giddy freshmen (or tearful ones if they saw you, Cabot...) to screaming upperclassmen, it's safe to say that there was not an excess of hype or school spirit that fateful morning. The same goes for the stellar suite of Housing Day 2026 videos. Every house, from the River to the Quad, showed up and brought their big D(hall) energy. Read our completely biased and accurate ranking here!
Harvard Houses as Greek Gods
