    "The schools aren’t rated high. It has a good small town feel. Not much to do in town other than bowling and there are a lot of bars if you like drinking. Quiet town and very low crime. "

    "I did not grow up in Harvard. I have lived here 2 years - am still an outsider. There is a serious bullying problem at the school. Things are stolen from yards on a regular basis. I hate living in Harvard. If you're thinking about moving to Harvard, don't!"
