Almost 50% were women.Today, most Harvard students are not rich, although it is very costly to study there. It costs more than 32,000 dollars for a year. That is more than 120,00 dollars for four years of study. About two-thirds of the students at Harvard depend on loans(贷款)，financial aids（财政援助）or jobs to pay for their educations.Many people consider Harvard to be the best university in the United States. It is very difficult to be accepted to study there. More than 18,000 high school students applied to attend Harvard last year. About 1600 students began studying there in September. About 8% were from other countries.Last year, the total number of students at Harvard was more than 18,000. About 3,000 were from outside the United States.
