The Harvard University

Today morning, we took the Orange line at Ruggles arrived the Downtown crossing, and trasfered to the Red line to the Harverd University. Today's trip is one of the most exciting trip for me.
Because we all know that Harvard University is one of the most famous universities in the world. And the location is also the same as our university, that's Boston, MA. Therefore, it's provided us a good chance to get close to the Harvard University.


Dormitory of freshman
Harvard University, which celebrated its 350th anniversary in 1986, is the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States. Founded 16 years after the arrival of the Pilgrims at Plymouth, the University has grown from nine students with a single master to an enrollment of more than 18,000 degree candidates. Over 14,000 people work at Harvard, including more than 2,000 faculty. Eight presidents of the United States- John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Theodore and Frankkklin Delano Roosevelt, Rutherford B. Hayes, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama- were graduates of Harvard. Its faculty has produced more than 40 Nobel laureates.



Multimedia Teaching Building


I think the architectural style of the Harvard University is older than
the Northeastern University, and the environmental greening is larger than our university. When we got in the Harvard University, we saw a big greenbelts with some old trees. It's very beautiful. Comparing the building of Northeastern University with the Harvard University, I think the Northeastern University is more modernization, and ordinary.
I like today's trip very much, I want come to Harvard for a long time. If I studying in Boston and haven't been to the Harvard, it's very regretful for me.
