🧠 “Did You Know?” #7: Free College Courses from Harvard & Yale—No Tuition, No Catch!

What if I told you that some of the world's most prestigious universities—Harvard and Yale—offer entire college courses online, absolutely free? No application, no visa, and no tuition. Just you, your laptop, and access to knowledge once reserved for the elite.

Both Harvard and Yale have opened the doors to their classrooms through online platforms, offering video lectures, assignments, and full course materials across subjects like computer science, psychology, literature, and philosophy. And yes—these are real courses taught by real professors.

Harvard’s offerings include fan-favorites like “CS50: Introduction to Computer Science,” a course that’s launched millions into the world of coding. You’ll also find deep dives into artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship, and ethical leadership—all designed to be taken at your own pace.

Yale, on the other hand, shines with its philosophy and humanities courses. “The Science of Well-Being,” a psychology course that explores what truly makes us happy, went viral with learners from every corner of the globe. And if Roman architecture or political philosophy sparks your interest, Yale’s full lecture recordings make it feel like you’re actually there.

What makes these courses special isn’t just the name behind them—it’s the idea that education, at its best, should be accessible to all. Whether you're prepping for A Levels, building your resume, or just exploring new ideas, these resources are a golden ticket to elite learning, completely tuition-free.

So next time someone says Ivy League education is out of reach, show them your study notebook—and prove them wrong.
