"Visit Harvard-America's Oldest University While your grades might not get you admitted, anyone can take a walk in Harvard Yard. You can't leave Cambridge without having a look-see at the oldest institution of higher learning in the country. The campus shouts quintessential New England, and when you're not in the classroom, students here look just the same as they do at other colleges. There's lots of green space, impressive architecture, and plenty of places to put your feet up from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding Harvard Square. You can download an audio tour from their web site. Make sure not to miss the Memorial Hall for its beautiful angles and just don't leave saying 'paack ya ca in Havaid yaad'!"

I visited Harvard University, which is known as one of the most prestigious universities in the U.S. The model of buildings standing naturally throughout the street used to feel fresh. You may know all the buildings with the antique brown atmosphere, and the atmosphere allowed me to have a calm mind. Take a look at Harvard University, everyone.

Great Museum to spend a morning or an afternoon in the city. Has great collections and is well organized.

Never comes, but I maybe one day will lead our hometown Taitung high school students and teachers to come.

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.

"Yep! It's a prestigious university! The campus is super historic and nearby to great tasting restaurants. Funnily enough the founding of Harvard is more close to the discovery of America by Columbus than the battle of Yorktown during the revolution. I believe the university predates other universities in the United States by over half a century. An enjoyable visit. Would recommend!" -- what I said because I was in awe at first But I've since came to the conclusion that there are many more universities that are far more beautiful than Harvard. Sadly, despite all the history, the architecture is lacking.

Very nice campus. I especially like the tour I had a few years ago. I visited the campus again this week. This time I did a self tour. This gives me the flexibility to spend time on whatever I want. My suggestion is to have the official tour first, then do a self tour to catch up what’s missing on official tour.

Harvard is such an amazing university! We walked around the campus in complete awe. I hope one of my kiddos matriculate here one day!

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.
