I went to Harvard for a year before transferring out, and I agree and disagree. The content was about equivalent to the (admittedly hard) state school I attended and the work load about the same as well. What made Harvard easier was that the teachers CARED if you passed. Like, if you missed class, or flunked an exam, they'd just let you retake it. That shit don't fly in state school/community college. Examples:

At Harvard, I was placed into a French class that was 100% above my pay grade. I told the prof like 15x to place me in a lower level, and he wouldn't. So for the final, which was 100% in French and I couldn't even understand the questions, I wrote my name and walked out. They still passed me.

At community college, I took a biology with a lab where the lab manual was out of stock at the bookstore. I auto-failed the class for not having the lab manual ("missing a lab") because the prof would not provide photo copies of the lab for me until it came back into stock.
