Harvard University

The Harvard campus we visited is quite small, taking only about 10 minutes to walk around. The lush greenery and the majestic buildings create a unique atmosphere. As we walked around the campus, we all touched Mr. Harvard's shoes, hoping for high grades! However, the statue of Mr. Harvard isn't actually him, but a student named Sherman Hall. Mr. Harvard wasn't actually the founder of Harvard, but a pastor who donated his estate to the school.

The lilacs were in full bloom when we visited. I love these flowers, their delicate colors and enchanting fragrance. The clouds began to dissipate, revealing a clear blue sky with a few white clouds. The gentle breeze and light clouds were a wonderful feeling.

I wandered freely across campus, breathing in the fragrance of books and reminiscing about the good old days. I also took in the scent of the sunshine and the green grass. The feet of the founders of this campus have been rubbed until they are exceptionally shiny. The campus scenery here is like an oil painting.

When people talk about Boston, or Massachusetts, they will definitely think of Harvard, a world-renowned institution of higher learning.

The first thing that caught my eye when I walked into the campus was Harvard's library.

It's a short walk from my residence to Harvard campus, and the early mornings in autumn and winter are very cold.

Harvard's campus is beautiful. The leaves had already fallen by Thanksgiving, and the grounds are dotted with red brick classrooms and other buildings, many in the Gothic style, each with its own distinct style. Because of the holidays, most students and faculty had gone home or on vacation, so the streets were a bit deserted. Wandering around the campus alone, stopping here and there, basking in the morning sunshine, the atmosphere felt incredibly peaceful.

The building of the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry was one of my most coveted application goals back then, so I came here specifically to take a photo and check in.

Having studied materials engineering in France, I can really relate to the word "engineering".

In addition to some old buildings on campus, most of the buildings around the campus today have become Harvard colleges or other buildings for other purposes.

The campus is like a vast park. As a southerner, I particularly enjoy strolling through the fallen leaves, enjoying the rustling sound. The red, yellow, and green foliage, set against the backdrop of the surrounding ancient buildings, creates an unusually peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.

There are many museums in Harvard, the most famous of which are the Harvard Museum of Natural History and the Harvard Museum of Art. However, they are closed due to the holiday...

When I left Harvard, I saw a place outside the wall of the side gate of the campus where they raised some kind of bird. I was very curious and saw several foreigners gathered there. Later, when I asked, I found out that this was the legendary turkey!

The most interesting thing was that on the way to Harvard, I saw a turkey walking on the road. Could it have escaped from here?

As the world's leading university, Harvard University attracts thousands of visitors each year. The campus is bustling with groups of tourists, especially children visiting during summer camp, making it feel more like a tourist attraction than a school. The school thoughtfully provides plenty of seating on the lawn for visitors to relax. Most libraries and classrooms are closed to the public. There's a market, perhaps a student-run business, selling fruits and vegetables.

The campuses of Harvard University, Oxford University and Cambridge University are different from those in China. They are universities without walls and formal gates.

Entering the business school from a small gate near Harvard Square, you will see many red brick and granite buildings standing on the campus surrounded by towering ancient trees and green grass.

We visited Harvard's library, which has four floors above and below ground. It's said that the family that built the library and one of the Titanic's victims share a touching story. The origin of Harvard University's name also has an intriguing story. Standing before the statue of J. Harvard, we heard the story of Reverend John Harvard's generous donations and learned that in gratitude for his support, the school was renamed Harvard College.

We met many college students passing by on campus, as well as visitors from different countries like us, who were visiting and paying attention to various things of interest in the beautiful campus.

Most of Harvard's buildings are cinnabar red, and the rest are white. There is a large green belt in front of each building. In addition to the withered grass, there are also bare and sturdy tree trunks standing there. They want to add some beauty to the campus. This important task is taken over by the thin snow, which gives the entire Harvard a light and elegant makeup like powder.

The library, the park's largest and most impressive building, wasn't funded by the university. It was donated by the mother of a Harvard graduate who died on the Titanic. Building a public facility of this magnitude required enormous sums of money and selfless love. But what she left behind for Harvard students is not just material possessions, but also enduring spiritual strength and a profound sense of life, values that cannot be measured in monetary terms. Unfortunately, non-University students are not allowed inside, missing out on experiencing the allure of this wealth, both material and spiritual.

Standing at the top of the library stairs, the illuminated white spire in the distance marks the Tercentenary Theatre. Influential figures like J.K. Rowling have delivered important speeches at Harvard graduations, often serving as the final yet most important lesson for graduates. Just like the shape of the entire building, it's like a morning star in the darkness, illuminating the way forward.

Libraries at prestigious universities are always the most prominent, but sometimes this isn't always the case. The most beautiful building on Harvard's campus is the red and white one just before entering. Its tallest bell tower chimes every hour, and its alternating gray, white, and red roof creates a variety of patterns and shapes. Monastery-style corridors run through it. From the side, the towering red exterior, inlaid with stained glass, exudes a majestic yet elegant air. The tightly closed black wooden door is somewhat heavy, and the arched glass above is divided into smaller units, each painted with a different pattern. The ornate exterior invites a closer look, despite a clear sign at the entrance stating: "Non-students are prohibited from entering." This only arouses irresistible curiosity.

I pushed open the door with trepidation, and suddenly, a light opened up. Sunlight streamed through the stained glass into the tall, spacious hall. The patterns on the glass were vibrant, depicting either a gallant knight or the Virgin Mary holding the Child, seemingly flowing with the light. Two neat rows of chandeliers hung from the ceiling, each composed of several small round lamps surrounding a central lampshade. Below, the square table, its surface shimmering with the unique luster of wood, shimmered under the light.

This is Harvard's banquet hall. It was worth breaking the rules to see this elegant venue where top talents gather and entertain. It was truly stunning. Unfortunately, just as I raised my camera to record and share this hidden secret, the administrator arrived in time to stop me. After recognizing that I was not a student, I was politely asked to leave.

OK—Point to Harvard, the world's leading university, in the United States of America! ! ! …Tianjin, China

I like this building the most.

Harvard Memorial Church,

Now it's vacation time,

So it's still tightly closed.

Next time you can come during class.

Maybe you can even meet some celebrities. Haha,

Touch John Harvard's feet,

Take advantage of his luck~

The most important thing to check in at Harvard University is the Harvard statue. When I got there, I saw it was full of local high school students checking in. They seemed to be saying that if they touched Harvard's feet, they would pass their exams... Seeing students all over the world being so superstitious, I felt relieved...

Harvard has a strong aloof academic atmosphere. Each college is divided into separate areas and the gates are closed. Not to mention tourists, you can only wander around the campus. It is said that the bronze statue of John Harvard is imaginary. The shoes are polished by rubbing.

The old building is not large, but it is beautiful with the autumn colors.

The atmosphere there is very good. Students who have the opportunity to study there will have a very happy experience in their lives.

You can't imagine~~The university campus has no walls, but it is more like a small town. You can stroll around the campus and admire the ancient buildings, or go to the commercial street to browse bookstores and have a cup of coffee in the coffee shop. If you have enough time, you can also visit the many museums on campus. The rich academic atmosphere will make you intoxicated.

American universities have a lenient admission policy, but a strict graduation policy. It's easy to get in, but difficult to graduate. This is the opposite of what's happening in China, and the scale of the university gates is also a reflection of this. I don't know why everyone likes to touch the statue of Harvard University's founder, and it's become so golden. He should be awarded the FIFA Golden Boot.

The Harvard statue isn't actually Harvard himself, nor did he found Harvard. Harvard University has produced eight US presidents and dozens of Nobel and Pulitzer Prize winners. It has also nurtured a large number of renowned academic founders, world-class leaders, writers, and thinkers, including Ralph Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Henry James. I've recently been reading "Being Mortal," also by Professor Gawande of Harvard Medical School.

Because universities abroad do not have walls, we who did not do enough research on the guide could only visit by following the navigation.

I found an exit and turned into the campus. There were very few people there.

For those of us who have graduated for a long time and have no plans for further studies for the time being, the campus has very little appeal to us.

Harvard University is perhaps best known for the Harvard Hoax. The statue of Mr. Harvard is not actually him, but two figures, one upper and one lower. Walking around the campus, experiencing the famous red brick buildings, and hearing the legendary stories is quite an experience.

The environment of the famous university is indeed good, and you can see squirrels on the roadside trees at any time.

Harvard University, one of the world's top universities, is located in a very quiet residential area. The campus is very large. Since we did not sign up for the school visit, we did not have a very good understanding of the layout of the campus. We simply walked around and felt the atmosphere of this institution.

Come to this place where top students gather to shine. The campus is really big in the United States.

One of the places you must check in when you go to Boston

There are famous sculptures inside, where you can check in and take photos. Surrounding it are red brick dormitory buildings, with a lawn in the middle and many public colorful chairs, which are great for taking photos.

Then I visited the Science Center and the Memorial Hall.

Then follow the main road to MIT, which is open to tourists. There is a sign where you can sign up for a campus tour. This is a good option for students who are good at English.

Actually, the campus tour should be great, you can listen to stories and introductions, and don't have to think about navigation. It's a pity that I may have missed some interesting things and didn't visit all the attractions.

Then we went to the most anticipated and distinctive building, the Stata Center, which was very magical, haha.

Walking past Harvard Law School, I was captivated by two large clusters of cherry blossoms. Arriving early, Harvard was deserted! The tour groups hadn't left yet, leaving the empty buildings to ourselves. After taking a bunch of architectural and time-lapse photos, we still hadn't found John Harvard! By the time we hurried over, we'd already been surrounded by some tour groups! Sure enough, the paint on my feet was peeling from all that rubbing. Hearing a familiar voice, I felt like I hadn't left the country. The people surrounding the statue were none other than our lovely elderly friends. The May sun shone brightly on the campus, and while it was a bright, warm day, it wasn't at all hot.

Harvard's campus is both classical and modern. Red and white brick walls, arched glass-domed churches, and the traditional side of Harvard. Meanwhile, the Science Center, its stone fountain, and the Science Center Plaza represent Harvard's modern side. Inside the Science Center, a partially disassembled Mark I, the world's first universal computer, is displayed. On the south side of the campus stands a stone tablet, presented to Harvard's alma mater by Chinese alumni, led by Hu Shih, on the occasion of Harvard's tercentenary (1936). The tablet expresses the hope that cultural exchange between the two countries will foster national prosperity and enrich learning. I hope so, too.

Driving past Harvard University, it feels more like it is located in a small town. There are not many people there on weekends and it is very quiet.

It is said that Harvard's cafeteria is very similar to the one in Harry Potter, but you can't get in without a school ID, so I could only wander outside the door for a while. Harvard's library is also very famous. Although I didn't go in, those who want to go in can wait outside to see if there are any Chinese students. If the students agree, you can bring others in, just in case your luck is good. Another possible way is to book a Harvard guided tour. If the tour is led by a student, you can ask if you can go inside the library.

Harvard University has three famous sculptures that tell lies: the sculpture says it was built in 1638, but it was actually built in 1636; the sculpture says John Harvard, but this is not John Harvard himself; and John Harvard was not the founder of the university.

We also visited Harvard's library, the legendary library that is brightly lit at four in the morning.

It was a bit cold coming to Harvard in early March, and the fact that I had been to an Eastern University the previous two days had given Harvard a particularly quiet feeling.



The Red Line subway line goes to Harvard and is easy to find. However, the interior is closed to the public and you can't get in without an ID, which is a bit disappointing.

Very shocking! It feels really good and is worth a visit!

Harvard University, located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is part of the Boston metropolitan area and was modeled after the University of Cambridge in England (the Boston area is remarkably British, making it worthy of its status as the capital of New England). I won't elaborate on its lofty academic standing and widespread influence. Harvard is also the oldest institution of higher learning in the continental United States, founded in 1636 (over 60 years before Yale) by the Massachusetts colonial legislature. Like Yale, it is named after its donor. In March 1639, the school was renamed Harvard College in honor of Reverend John Harvard, who generously supported the college in its early years. Finding parking in Cambridge, where Harvard is located, is just as difficult as in Boston. After a couple of rounds, we found a coin-operated parking stall. After searching everywhere, we could only find three quarters, so we decided to park for 45 minutes. I felt Harvard wasn't as beautiful as Yale, and the architecture was more conventional. Perhaps it was because the trees hadn't yet turned green, and the weather was a bit chilly, lacking the contrast of blue sky, white clouds, green trees, and red flowers. The main task today is to line up and touch John Harvard's shiny feet. Mom said that if Tuanzi can't go to Yale, he can go to Harvard. You still have to have dreams, what if they come true?

Harvard is a world-class university.

This year happens to be Harvard Law School’s 200th anniversary, and various alumni have sent congratulatory messages, both proactively and passively, including the late Justice Scalia...

The open university I came to visit is very quiet, with red walls and green land, which makes me feel relaxed and happy.

I spent a day at the Harvard Museum of Natural History. I laughed my ass off when I saw the Mayan ruins. The Mayan writing is so funny, hahahaha.

Harvard is one of the world's most prestigious universities, often ranked within the top five. Its liberal arts and science programs are among the best in the world. The university is located on Boston's Right Bank, but the renowned Harvard Business School (HBS) is located on the Left Bank, just across the bridge. Harvard's campus has no walls; you'll likely be on campus when you see a cluster of red buildings.

In front of Harvard University's administration building stands a statue of John Harvard, draped with an American flag and inscribed on its base are three words: "John Harvard," "Founder," and "1638." However, these three words conceal three famous lies.

Lie 1: The statue was not based on John Harvard himself. Harvard left no photographs, so when the statue was built, they had to find a young, handsome man to model it based on people's imaginations.

Lie 2: Although Harvard University is named after Harvard, Harvard was not the original founder. Harvard University's predecessor was Cambridge University. It was later renamed "Harvard" because Mr. Harvard, the governor of Charleston and a member of the founding committee, donated half of his estate and a library. The university changed its name to "Harvard University" in his memory and gratitude.

Lie three: Harvard was founded in 1636, not 1638.

Despite this, the lie did not diminish the charm of the Harvard statue, which still serves as a visual representation of the Harvard spirit: striving, self-confidence, and broad-mindedness.

This is truly the ultimate dream school! Oh, I so wish I could study there! QAQ We went during spring break in April, and it was snowing heavily on campus. It was the first time my southern boyfriend saw snow in April! What an amazing life experience! I was so touched! Young people really need to learn more!!!

The picture was taken by a friend who went with me. We stole her pictures when we were playing together in the United States. Hehe~@小快百合 (with ID watermark)

Harvard University is a world-renowned institution, having produced eight US presidents and ranked number one globally. Its buildings are all red, and Harvard statues, revered by people around the world, are often rubbed until they sparkle.

Harvard University, often simply referred to as Harvard, is a private research university located in Cambridge, Boston, Massachusetts, United States. It is considered one of the most prestigious universities in the world due to its history, academic standing, influence, and wealth. Harvard is also one of the most selective universities in the United States.

The campus is very ancient and charming, as if you are back in Europe~~~

Harvard University is a private research university headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It is considered one of the world's most prestigious institutions for its history, academic influence, and wealth. Harvard is the oldest institution of higher education in the United States and is located in Cambridge, across the Charles River from the city.

Harvard University is a typical open campus. The campus and the surrounding residential areas have undergone hundreds of years of mutual penetration and integration, giving the entire block a strong academic atmosphere and a unique sense of history.

The red brick building complex represents the original appearance of Harvard University. What has seeped into the red bricks over the years is not only the accumulation of academic knowledge, but also the world's reputation.

As soon as you exit the subway, you'll see Harvard's main gate. University gates abroad are generally quite low-key, unlike the grandiose ones in China. Harvard's campus buildings are primarily red, creating a rather solemn architectural style. You can experience it yourself.

If you must go to a prestigious university, then Harvard is not to be missed. Compared with MIT, it is more like a university. The maple leaves are all over the ground in late autumn, which is very beautiful.

As a student, it would be unacceptable not to go there! ! ! ! Isn’t this the most sacred place in the hearts of outsiders? ! ! !

Harvard, the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States, was founded in 1636. It is a world-renowned private research university and a member of the prestigious Ivy League.

There are official free guided tours at Harvard, led by students, which take over an hour to walk around the campus. It’s awesome!

The large group of tourists, all self-disciplined and orderly, staggered their groups to minimize disruptions. The school provides instructions for visitors at the entrance, explaining what to do and what not to do. Students enter the library and teaching buildings with their student cards, while visitors can only enter through the first gate and not from inside. Many students were giving explanations, and it was clear they were very proud of Harvard. The sheer number of visitors and guides, the vast green spaces, and the happy little squirrels made it hard to imagine this was a university; it felt more like a lush park. The exteriors of the library, teaching buildings, and dormitories are quite distinctive, though you can only admire them from the outside. The area is small, but the scenery is beautiful.

Harvard University is beautiful, tranquil, and a truly captivating experience. Students lead tours of the campus, allowing you to explore the campus while listening to their stories of Harvard's history. I loved sitting on the colorful chairs on the Harvard Lawn, reading, daydreaming, and feeding the squirrels. The Harvard Library is my favorite building, though unfortunately, it's not open to the public. During my month in Boston, I visited Harvard almost every day. I truly love this place.

The architectural style of New England is very similar to Europe. The moment I stepped off the subway, I thought I was back in England. Harvard is truly one of the best universities, with a strong academic atmosphere and a solemn atmosphere everywhere. I don't need to say much about the university; you can find all the information online. But when you go to Harvard, you must buy a cup of coffee at the Starbucks outside the campus. The atmosphere in this Starbucks is completely different. Sit down and experience the atmosphere of the top students.

Without saying anything else, go and lick the feet of the Harvard God!

How can you not visit Harvard University when you are in Boston? It was summer vacation when I went there, so there were not many students. Instead, there were more tourists and groups of elementary school students who came to study.

Harvard University campus is very beautiful and worth a visit.

I want to experience the atmosphere of a world-class university, but I don’t seem to be getting the hang of it…

Harvard University, a world-renowned institution of higher learning.

A mother who lost her child in the Titanic donated her entire roomful of books to Harvard. Books were very expensive in those days, even considered luxuries. She also made two requests of the university: first, give her child a bouquet of flowers every day; second, all Harvard graduates must be able to swim.

Finally came here to worship, it is very suitable for an afternoon walk

I'm a long-term Boston resident and work as a Chinese-speaking sales guide at Tiffany & Co. in Boston, USA. If you have any questions about Boston travel or are interested in any Tiffany products (including the classic six-claw Tiffany setting, the Harmony collection, engagement rings, couple rings, wedding rings, or any other Tiffany diamond jewelry, yellow diamonds, colored gemstones, keys, T-series accessories, etc.), please add my WeChat: excelsior2020. I will be happy to answer any related inquiries you may have. Thank you!

Harvard is a must-see in Boston. Wandering around the campus and soaking in the academic atmosphere of a world-class university is wonderful, but the business atmosphere can be a bit overwhelming. Take a side road or cross the river to Harvard Business School, and you'll find your passion. The surrounding shops are also popular with women.

The architecture is much more refined and impressive than NEU and MIT (just the impression it gave me), and it's worthy of being a century-old prestigious university! Memorial Hall is incredibly beautiful, but unfortunately the weather wasn't ideal for capturing the perfect shot.

I probably won't have the chance to study here in my lifetime, so you must visit this place when you come to Boston

The quaint old buildings add tranquility to the ancient campus, which is large and spread across both sides of the river.

It was raining heavily in Boston the day we went there. We got off the subway at Harvard Station on the Red Line, and the entire town of Harvard became blurred in the rain.

I went to Harvard University to learn about Buddhism. The Starbucks at the entrance was a black apron shop.

The title of the world's top university is not for nothing.

Harvard's architecture is very beautiful. As soon as you enter, you feel like you are in Harry Potter's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It is particularly beautiful and spectacular, and it is a completely different feeling from MIT.

I must touch Mr. Harvard's feet, haha, it feels good to walk around the campus

This summer, I participated in a debate workshop at Harvard and was fascinated by its academic atmosphere and the harmonious coexistence of people and nature. Although Harvard is located in a small city in the eastern United States, it has excellent facilities. Overall, after visiting Boston, Cambridge is a worthwhile destination if you have some free time (especially for young students who want to experience the atmosphere of an elite school). I also recommend a boat tour near Macy's; it's only a dozen dollars for students and allows you to take a sightseeing tour around the city.

If you go to Boston, you will definitely go to Harvard University. This is a place connected to Boston.

I studied in Belmont, a small town about 20 minutes away from Harvard Square by bus. On Sundays, when the town's public library was closed, I would go to the Coop in Harvard Square or sneak into the Harvard Science Center to pretend to be a college student. Despite its world-class academic standards and huge daily visitor numbers, Harvard still stands quietly in a corner of Boston. The campus is actually quite small compared to other schools. The library is great, but you need a card to enter. The lawns are filled with students sitting, lying down, and chatting. Unlike Stanford, bicycles are not allowed on campus, so there aren't many bikes parked on campus. But just looking at them is enough to make me admire it.

Having seen Yale, Harvard's architecture pales in comparison! But there's definitely more to a visit than just the architecture! It's still worth a look!

There are a lot of Chinese people making loud noises on campus, so it is recommended to come in the afternoon.

Harvard's campus lacks a formal gate. In front of it stands a bronze statue of John Harvard. Its left foot, rubbed by visitors year after year, has gleamed brightly. Legend has it that this foot represents wisdom, and touching it brings wisdom. Even knowing it's self-deception, I happily touch it anyway. I actually prefer the Harvard logo at the base of the statue. It depicts three open books, two facing upward, one facing downward, emphasizing a simple truth: knowledge comes not only from textbooks but also from life and practice. The buildings on campus are ordinary and unassuming. Some are covered in verdant vines, a true Ivy League institution. A remarkable statistic astounds me: Harvard has produced eight US presidents, including the current President Barack Obama. Harvard University has also nurtured 40 Nobel Prize winners.

It’s a different feeling... open and inclusive, with spirit and soul, just like our Tsinghua University and Peking University. Remember that learning is serious and fun, but you must race against time.

The most famous university in the world, with a solemn and majestic campus architecture, is full of tourists.

Walking on the Harvard campus, what greets you is not the rigidity of academics nor the coldness, but rather a sense of quiet memories reflected in the setting sun on a tranquil afternoon.
