Harvard University
Harvard University
When you first arrive at Harvard, you might feel that the campus boundaries are not very clear because there are no walls enclosing it. However, when you get off the subway and see the familiar Harvard Library, large lawns, and business school buildings from movies and books, you have already stepped into the Harvard campus! The campus is filled with a rigorous academic atmosphere and a fresh living vibe. The red brick buildings and green spaces on campus complement each other, with sunlight casting dappled shadows through the gaps between the trees. On the lawns and under the trees, you can sit down to read or chat, enjoying a comfortable atmosphere that is neither too tense nor too relaxed.
The Harvard Memorial Hall is another famous building in Harvard Yard. Unlike other churches, the first floor of the Memorial Hall has no chairs, only a 60-foot-high Gothic dome and a mural at the front, with stained glass windows casting unique colors. From a small door next to the Memorial Hall, you can access a theater that seats 1,166 people. Many religious activities and important lectures are held here, and scenes from the Harry Potter movies were also filmed here.
