Every April, Harvard opens its gates to the admitted students for a jam-packed weekend full of diverse events, great food, and incredible conversations. This is an important weekend because the admitted students have to make the decision of where to spend their college careers. It\u2019s an exciting time of college exploration and finding out if Harvard is right for you.<\/p>\n<p>My favorite part about this weekend is meeting the Admitted Students- or as we call them at Harvard- the \u201cPre-Frosh.\u201d Current students get the chance to host Pre-Frosh in their dorms during Visitas in order for a chance to see what it\u2019s really like to go to Harvard. Hosts are also there to provide any kind of advice, guidance, or past experiences to help the Pre-Frosh make their decision. I signed up for 3 and I can\u2019t wait to pick them up and show them around once they get here!<\/p>\n<p>Another one of my favorite parts of this weekend is that Presencia Latina falls on the Friday of Visitas. Harvard\u2019s Presencia Latina is a spectacular Latin Arts Showcase where groups from across the Harvard, Cambridge, and Boston communities can come together to celebrate the Latin culture. I really hope some of my Pre-Frosh can make it to the show! I was at Dress Rehearsal last night until the early morning so I know the show is going to be a great one, as always.<\/p>\n<p>Another reason why this year is so special is because Presencia Latina has reached it\u2019s <strong>10<sup>th<\/sup> Year<\/strong>! That\u2019s an entire decade of Latin Arts. I really appreciate that Harvard gives us the resources and space to celebrate a culture that means so much to me and I know that we\u2019ll continue sharing this beautiful culture for years to come! That was one of my concerns about coming across the country to college- I thought I would lose my culture. Luckily, Harvard provides <em>a ton<\/em>\u00a0of\u00a0opportunities to celebrate the culture you grew up in as well as learn of the diverse set of cultures that make up Harvard\u2019s student body. This weekend will be unforgettable.<\/p>\n<p>To get a look in to what last year\u2019s Presencia Latina looked like, check out this video!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"VLog #17 Harvard Presencia Latina 2011\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WRY_BwozNqk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Visitas Weekend has finally come!
