 An "ordinary" day in Harvard Square by Barbie2138 It's hard to feel down in the dumps in Harvard Square. On the day I visited, there was a Chinese street musician, a girl with a guitar who sounded just like Tori Amos and a group of Colombian musicians playing flutes and guitars. Music is everywhere in the Square. I got caught up in the moment and got a dragonfly tatoo (henna). A little Indian girl walked up and showed me the one her granny had done on her arm. Leave a Comment Directions: Take the (T) and get off at the Harvard Square stop. Right in the middle of the square there's a real live person in a booth who'll direct you to where you want to go. I suggest picking a direction and just walking. There's tons to do and see.

 hmnh.harvard.edu by BruceDunning It is said one of the better museums to tour is at Harvard. The natural history museum is on campus, and Harvard is NW of town in CAmbridge. I did not have time to visit, but the main feature is 3,000 glass flowers that look real. Cost is $9 and times are 9-5 daily

ACTUALLY, HARVARD IS IN CAMBRIDGE, which is next door to Boston, but let's not get picky, ok? Anyway it is a stunningly beautiful campus to visit. A stroll through the Harvard campus will surely lower your blood pressure after the hectic Boston streets (or subway or taxi) that got you there. Leave a Comment Directions: North of the Charles River in Cambridge. Just take the blue line subway and get off at the Harvard station.

 Harvard by karenincalifornia While we were in Boston, we crossed over the Charles River to visit Harvard in Cambridge. Harvard offers daily tours in the summer and each day shows hundreds of Harvard hopefuls around the campus. We enjoyed walking around the campus and admiring the red brick buildings with large columns and the shaded common grounds. On these tours you learn interesting facts from the student guides, like some classes at Harvard have only 1 student, while another might have 900 students. 900 students in a class! I can't even imagine it. Sounds like a terrible Spielberg movie. Leave a Comment

by jujuc18 Among the countless activities, I must encourage tourists of a few of my favorites...Harvard Square, for one...'center of student life...' With little shops all along the sides of every street, Harvard Square is a joy to just walk around and browse...there are restaurants, cinemas, and hotels...Especially on Friday afternoon/evenings, try to visit when the musicians, artists, magicians, etc.,come out to play! The place is littered with all forms of fun entertainment and activities for all ages! Occasionally stars are seen on Harvard Square...one having been Christina Ricci...Did I forget to mention...Matt Damon and Ben Affleck grew up here? Leave a Comment Directions: If you have been to the Boston area, you are familiar with the 'T' (subway train). If you catch the Green Line T and ride to Park Street, switch to Red Line, where you can catch the Alewife T that makOther Contact: keep in mind that Harvard is in

by SLLiew Harvard Yard is where Harvard University started. Located in Cambridge, Boston. The Yard consists of many Georgian red brick buildings for Harvard Freshmen dormitories. Harvard College was founded in 1636 by Massachusetts Bay Colony. It was named after its first benefactor, minister John Harvard of Charlestown who left his library of books and half his estate to this new educational institution that is now world famous. The statue of John Harvard is often the symbol of attack and target of prankster and grafitti of drunken freshmen or rivals of Harvard of visiting football teams.
