Tour of Harvard and Harvard Square

At the beginning of this week, I was waiting for the trip on Friday and this feeling last the whole week.

Harvard square, a name tells everyone that this place seems belong to Harvard. Waling along the street, we can saw many shops named “…Harvard”. These are symbols that sightseers can easily be indentified. Harvard is the second university I visited in Boston. Different from Northeastern, Harvard is like a garden, and Northeastern is more modern.
The first stop: The guide told us the history of Harvard.
Second stop: We across the Harvard yard. Such a big yard that many people relax there. They were sitting on the grassland under the shadow of leaves.

Most of buildings in Harvard look old. The vermilion wall was made by bricks and the patterns are seems from hundreds years ago. I didn’t see any glass house on campus, even the building of science. The most interesting thing is that this building looks like stairs, right?

Harvard does really like a sightseeing that each part of it needs to be recorded. For example, the patterns of this door are exquisite. I like the curves on the top most. I am sure this kind of style was from many years ago.

Another one is the law school. This building seems a church. Look at the ceiling and the pendant lamp, they are brilliant.

we can see this design in churches often.

Harvard, one of the most top university in the world, this Friday, I stood at there and felt about it. I didn’t see any pictures of Harvard before and in my mind, it is a big and kind of modern university. Yet, it doesn’t. This is a combination of ancient and modern. When I walked along the path, I felt about its long history. Perhaps because of the summer vacation, there weren’t too many people there. The campus seems bigger. I found that in America, maybe every building is named after a person. This leads people to remember them and when we look at the building we always remind of them.
Although Friday was still too hot to be outside, I like this trip.
