Measuring interest and intrigue with topics with as drugs and body modifications, the survey tends to attract a wide variety of individuals, proudly displaying diversity in its respondent base.

After last year’s debut of the Harvard Independent’s Counter Culture Issue, you can count on the Indy to ask the questions no other campus publication will. No other publication, at Harvard or elsewhere, had attempted to quantify the reach and depth of these often-discussed topics in a campus setting until the Indy’s 2016 Counter Culture […]
