amazing architecture and learning. One of my best experiences of life. A real highlight - I remember those good ol days. Cambridge Common Pub, Grendalls den, all these were the fun friendly places for joyous moments, and Harvard was the place to be when it comes to choosing colleges. Never forget it x.

Nice place for a walk to dsicover and see a great university and great architecture. Some building are accessibles to the general public as well. Nice place to spend an hour or two to wander around.

Harvard is an exceptional place, and more than just a University. Perhaps sounds like a sales brochure, but in this case it is true. You get to experience the place and history on your own. A "old" turn off to some seeking modern and updated but loved by others.

We went there without a guided tour. You can see a feel the vibe. Stroll around the beautiful buildings/ halls, park. We read the information online, nevertheless, a guided tour would provably make it even more memorable.

The beauty, charm, and architecture of so many historic buildings. We also chose to do a student led tour which we highly recommend. It is definitely worth just wandering around, at the very least just to get a feel. The campus itself isn’t very large and doesn’t have many dining or resting spots within (there are plenty surrounding the campus). It is also worth it to go to the library and just wander around.

We took the Harvard student guided tours and lucky us...we had Oliver as our guide! What a gem of a dude! He's a senior at Harvard and comically shared the highs and lows of student life. We were captivated! My young teen even remarked that history was engrossing with Oliver otherwise she'd be bored by history. GO Oliver!

Finally made it to Harvard!! This iconic university campus is worth a visit, but do your homework. Just strolling through won't do as the campus proper is so big, encompassing blocks and blocks. We were there for the history and the architecture. As visitors, we were not allowed to enter Memorial Hall so we missed seeing an awesome historic building. Strolling through Harvard Yard, we enjoyed the crowds taking photos with the John Harvard statue (by the esteemed sculptor Daniel Chester French). We checked out Sever Hall by Henry Hobson Richardson, a mainstay in Boston! Also the 1813 University Hall by Charles Bulfinch. Again, as a visitor, we couldn't go inside Widener Library to explore Mr Widener's personal library. We moved on to the Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, the only Le Corbusier building in this country. We visited the Harvard Art Museums, spending a couple hours enjoying their art collections. The campus is home to two buildings by Minoru Yamasaki (based in our home city of Detroit) so we checked his work here. Then got in the car to see two buildings by Moshe Safdie: Rosovsky Hall and the Class of 59 Chapel; both are buildings designed for contemplation and spiritualness. Totally enjoyed our four hours exploring the Harvard campus!!

We had a walk through the university grounds with our tour guide - we were on a tour from a cruise ship docked in Boston. Apparently non-university guides are not welcome on this campus, and we were told that if we were accosted by any security personnel we would have to leave straight away. This did not happen, so we got a lot of historical information from our guide and a wander between the various interesting buildings on campus. Worth some time if you can manage it.
