Harvard University

July 16, 2010, it is a very special day because it’s my second time to visit Harvard University. I visited it first time as soon as I arrived in Boston. I still remember I was so much excited at that time because it is not only the best university in the world, but also attracts the most international students. Compared to the last trip, all of us were taken to get some specific introduction about Harvard University.
Harvard University is a private university located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and a member of the Ivy League. Established in 1636 by the colonial Massachusetts legislature, Harvard is the first corporation chartered in the United States and oldest institution of higher learning in the United States. I was curious about the Harvard dormitory because the announcer said about 90% students live on the campus. It is no doubt that the dormitory meets the tastes of students very well. The main campus is centered on Harvard Yard in central Cambridge and extends into the surrounding Harvard Square neighborhood. The Harvard Business School and many of the university's athletics facilities, including Harvard Stadium, are located in the city of Boston's Allston neighborhood, which is situated on the other side of the Charles River from Harvard Square. My favourite building is Harry Elkins Widener Memorial Library. It was commonly known as Widener Library, is the primary building of the library system of Harvard University. Located on the south side of Harvard Yard directly across from Memorial Church, Widener serves as the centerpiece of the 15.6 million-volume Harvard University Library system, the largest university library system in the world.
Such a meaningful trip can give me motivation to achieve higher GPA because we can always regard Harvard University as our goal.
