Entrepreneurs can find a home at Harvard Student Agencies, home to the Let’s Go travel guide series, or on the business staff of one of Harvard’s many publications.

Speaking of publications, they range from the liberal (Perspective) to the conservative (the Salient) to the pointless (The Harvard Lampoon, a semi-secret Sorrento Square social organization that used to occasionally publish a so-called humor magazine.)

Harvard’s theater community is active and wacky, with the Harvard-Radcliffe Dramatic Club running shows nearly every weekend of the year and the Hasty Pudding Theatrical’s all-male, humor filled drag fest each spring. Improvisational comedy, led by the Instant Gratification Players and On Thin Ice are good for a pre-party weekend activity.

Individual musicians often form student bands or indulge their passions at the Quad Sound Studio or WHBR, Harvard’s under-appreciated student-run broadcast radio station.

The Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra is the most visible student music organization, but many smaller groups mean that an instrument doesn’t have to be stowed away in the closet. A cappella abounds.

Despite a $19 billion endowment, most students groups are scrounging for money. Loker Commons has pool tables but not many students. The only “late-night socializing” you’ll do there is this weekend.
