Established in 1636, America's first college is also one of the world's finest. Use the garden chairs available on the Yard to take in the beautiful architecture and foliage. - Green Guide Editor

Historic and classic college quad ... tree-lined area with beautiful buildings and even during summer, packed with visitors!!!

After you're done walking the Freedom Trail take a ride to Cambridge and relax in the Harvard yard. After your long walk it will feel like heaven!

Great place especially in the summer to chill , read and people watch .

Miriam Goldman

Famous for stupid reasons, but still a nice place to recline and read or think on a sunny day.

Ahmed Elaghoury

Try to join the Harvard tour . There is an excellent guy named Drake. We were enjoyed with his impressive style of storytelling

Presidential Libraries

Today, most college students graduate in 4-5 years. Franklin Delano Roosevelt finished college in 3 years, but stayed until 1904 so he could serve as editor of the Harvard Crimson newspaper.

It was very big but lots of scenic walkways on Harvard university

Take a midnight stroll and feel the energy..

With a 32 billion dollar endowment you think Harvard can buy wooden chairs or something that match the decor instead of these bright colored neon chairs.

When you view the statue of John Harvard in "The Yahd," note how bright one shoe is. Tour guides say that it's good luck to rub Harvard's left foot. Read more

This park is well kept and clean . It is really pretty, especially in fall. There are a lot of tours and tourists that can clog up the sidewalks which is annoying.

Adam Schrader

I didn't see anywhere to park my car at Harvard Yard.

Alex Dobyan

Not particularly pleasant as far as New England college campuses go, and swarming with tourists . Would much rather check out MIT's futurist architecture .

Hard Rocker

A nice place to sit and relax under the trees .

Please touch the foot. Sure Harvard students urinate on it, but you'll be touching really smart HARVARD urine. Do it. - Baratunde
