Harvard University - University in Cambridge - Massachusetts Hall, USA

Harvard is one of the most prestigious universities in the World and every one wishes to visit it once in a life time. I had this chance to go there and walk around this beautiful institute. The good thing is that it is open for all and everyone could go around and visit. I saw many tourists there enjoying walking and taking photos. The good thing which I liked was that seeing people doing Yoga in the open space and in nature. I liked that and participated with them in yoga. A must visit place if you are in Boston or around.

Superbe campus auquel on peut librement accéder contrairement aux grandes universités anglaises. Très agréable, par ces chaudes journées d’été de pouvoir déambuler entre les bâtiments en briques rouges à l’ombre des arbres. En revanche, un petit regret de ne pas avoir pu accéder à l’église et à la bibliothèque… Quoiqu’il en soit, un endroit où les conditions semblent optimales pour étudier !

Beau campus. Il y a beaucoup de bâtiments de Harvard qui composent le quartier de Cambridge. Cependant, à part se promener sur le campus, il n’y a pas beaucoup à faire puisque les pavillons sont tous barrés ( heureusement pour les étudiants). Je vous conseille de commencer par le Harvard main square. C’est le plus bel endroit du campus en plus d’être prêt des rues plus achalandées ( restaurants, cafés , bouquineries et magasins de souvenirs)

I like most didn't attend Harvard, but I did walk around the campus during the summer and imagined I was a student. It felt very similar to walking through parts of UMass Amherst, which is a great school.

Oldest University of USA (1636, overall 5th in the world. StudentAcceptance Rate:4%.Around 82% students from wealthy families or fund their own.Beautiful buildings.Students Employability very high

I didn't possess the talent to study there, but I visited the campus and it was an amazing experience. The atmosphere was serene, calm, and clean. I spent a considerable amount of time there, enjoying the surroundings. Observing the students engaged in various activities gave me a different kind of feeling.

What am I expecting in for tourist review? I couldn't believe the most famous Ivy League university has such a less review on Yelp? Maybe because ppl look for restaurant or entertainment only on here instead of search engine. The University gate is open so everyone can go in. All buildings are beautiful. There even have tour to go to the campus and explain what kind of building and space.

The history of Harvard University dates back to year 1636, when it was founded as "Newtowne Colledge" with enrolment of 9 students, to teach Puritan Clegymen. In recognition of Rev.
