Where do you expect Harvard could house the additional 13K undergrads near campus? I live walking distance to Harvard campus and I can tell you that I can't imagine a good answer.

(Unstated above is that I believe that undergrad is fundamentally an in-person experience.)

Satellite campus?

Buy up existing hotels?

The George Washington University has purchased many hotels and condos and converted them to student housing, and that is downtown DC real estate.

Works well when you pay no property taxes.

Doesn't Harvard own a bunch of prime real estate? Tax free, even. How tall is the average building on that land?
