Harvard University Campus

The Radcliffe quadrangle is around 100 years old! In Harvard time, that's actually very new. It is located a little less than a mile away from Havard Yard. The quad includes all of its own amenities, such as a dining hall, gym, library, relaxation and spa room, and the Student Organization Center.

Harvard is home to the largest private library in the world. So big that you could run over two marathons in it if you tried, not recommended. The memorial church is the center of where graduation will take place four years later. Every spring they bring in extremely famous people like Mark Zuckerberg and Joe Biden to present and meet the students.

Kevin is in UC with me the acapella group. He chose Harvard because of the resources that the school has to offer as well as the strong and smart community that Harvard has. Diversity is huge at Harvard and it makes it so interesting for students to meet new people.

It is common for both students and faculty to take advantage of The Yard's beautiful, spacious landscape. You'll often see professors relocate their classes outside on nice days, and the school stocks the space with chairs to facilitate gatherings.

Here's how you card swipe works. Simply tap your card over the reader and the light will turn green. After that, you're all set and you're in! Very secure but make sure you have your card on you at all times.

Harvard's $37 billion endowment means it's always building new facilities!.

The Carpenter Center is an architecturally significant building on campus. Sung learned about this during his freshman seminar, a class of around 12 students who all select what they want to learn about within the boundaries of the course. Inside of this building, Sung says that this is his favorite spot to study. Outside you can grab a table right next to the lavender garden and get all your work done.

Harvard has a blue light system through the campus and city. Clicking the button on a light will directly connect you to the Harvard University Police Department.

Security at Harvard is always priority number one. The key scanning is one of the most important features that Harvard has. If you ever feel afraid to walk home alone from a building on campus a security officer will walk with you. For your rooms, if anything ever goes wrong there is a handyman that is available to help fix any broken shades, desks, etc.

It's okay if you miss the shuttle. Most of the time it's only going to be a 10-15 minute walk to your desired location.

Winthrop House was most recently renovated which is where JFK lived. Elliott house is an older building right next to where Mark Zuckerberg lived while at Harvard. The grill is a late night snack bar that serves all the junk food you can imagine.

Lowell House is currently under construction at this time. However, when it does open back up again it is home to upperclassmen dorms and another dining hall. Interesting to note the bell tower at the top rings at the top of every hour letting you know what time it is.

"The Yard" is an open space on campus where there are constantly events going on. Here you can see students getting ready for Fall by painting pumpkins and playing pong.The college events board is in charge of planning all the events on campus. In the beginning of the year they hold a class barbeque for all the students to come together and hangout.

The Inn is used for Swing Housing, temporary housing for students. The campus is currently remodeling much of the upperclassmen housing so during this period of time students are moved to new locations such as The Inn.

Bikes are huge on campus, similar to Zipcar you can rent bikes and drop them off whenever you are done with it.

Religion is a very important part of a lot of students at Harvard. There is a wide variety of religious group on campus ranging from Muslims to Catholics. Sung is a member of HCFA, Harvard College Faith Action. In this group, you meet with students in your grade and can discuss anything that's on your mind.

Most college campuses go crazy over their squirrels...Harvard takes it to the next level with TURKEYS! Of course, we have our squirrels too. All of the animals appear to be fearless.

Harvard's bus stops are marked with special crimson, red and white signs. If you ride a bike around campus, you can also load it onto a shuttle if it's late at night or you find yourself in inclement weather!

It's okay if you miss the shuttle. Most of the time it's only going to be a 10-15 minute walk to your desired location.

The Harvard Faculty Club is a place where you can come eat with your teachers. If you are selected for the dinners via a lottery process you can come and have an elegant dinner with your favorite professors. Not many people are chosen. Sean Spicer, Berny Sanders, and many Supreme Court Justices have come to events here at Harvard so the lottery is the key to getting meet these people.
