Is a MPH from Harvard worth the $60,000 in debt? Heard they don't give much financial aid. Would you guys take this opportunity if given the chance?
 
I'm an alum and my answer is no. You will not owe 60 k when you are done, you will pay back more like 80k if not more. If I were you, I'd strongly consider a free or cheaper alternative elsewhere.

What is the best thing you got from Harvard that you wouldn't get from other universities?
 
I know a few people (casually) at Harvard now and at least one said Harvard gave her more money than some of the other schools she applied to. I don't know what her total debt load is, though. Maybe you should decide when you know what aid you'll get.
