Are there any Harvard Extension School Alumni out there??

Currently I am pursuing a Master's Degree in Psychology at the Harvard Extension School. I know most of the programs are Liberal arts, so I was wondering if there are any Harvard Extension Alumni, and what were your thoughts on the school.

I began this past year (Fall 2020), and when I first discovered the Extension School I didn't think it was real, and just selling courses under the Harvard Name. As I did research I discovered Harvard Extension is actually one of the 13 degree granting schools, and being a student of the school grants access to many privileges of Harvard students (including an ID, and the right to attend commencement)

Later on in my Harvard Journey I also met two other Harvard alumni (one from Harvard College and the Other from Extension) at a coffee shop and discovered that Harvard Extension School is legit. In fact, many of the courses are Harvard Courses and being a grad student your being held to a much higher standard compared to your undergrad counterparts (no surprise there). If you do well in the courses (B or higher, NO "B-'s") you are admitted to the degree program.Did you think the degree was difficult? Did you like the students? Did it feel like Harvard? were you ever stigmatized for being an extension student?
