I found it doable, just don’t expect to be saving much! And I would recommend on campus housing. I wasn’t at Harvard so not sure exactly what’s available, but when I moved off campus I didn’t factor in all the things the dorms subsidize (e.g. free heat and good internet) and the dorms are responsive to building maintenance vs. a potentially crappy landlord
