The site has seen increased archaeological activity due to a European Union-funded project aimed at preserving the historic location, with the newly discovered frescoes depicting themes of heroism and fate from Greek mythology.

Harvard's Dining Hall Leaves Community College Students Jealous.

A Harvard student, Elise Pham, has been taking TikTok on tours of Harvard’s many dining halls lately, where every night seems like a trip to a five-star restaurant. Pham's series is sparking an important discussion on the level of privilege students are afforded at elite institutions like Harvard. According to Pham, who responded to multiple user comments since starting her series, she doesn’t pay that much to attend the famed institution. Instead, she says that a scholarship covers most of her tuition, and while she does need to cover extras, it is considerably more affordable for her to attend the school than it might be for others.
