From what I can tell, Harvard's history of getting involved in big political moments totally affects how students act today, especially with all the protests about government policies. Like, back in the Revolutionary War, Harvard folks supported the Patriot cause, which kinda set up this whole vibe of students thinking they can challenge major issues.

Even recently, I've read that international students at Harvard are freaking out about US government stuff, like immigration rules and stuff, and it's sparked actual panic on campus. That makes sense considering Harvard's always been a place where students aren't afraid to call out what they see as unfair policies, government-related or not.

So, it's kind of like a tradition now—students see previous generations fighting for what they believe in, and they want to do the same thing. I think Harvard gets more attention for it because people expect its students to be really vocal about law and government issues. It’s almost like there's pressure to keep that activist reputation alive.
