Harvard campus and community

Cambridge, Boston, and Harvard are lively in the summertime, and there are many University resources and activities to enjoy.

Living on the Harvard campus

JFK slept here … Live in campus housing around Harvard Square, and you will be a short walk from classes, the dining hall, shops, and restaurants.

Libraries, museums, athletic facilities

Fifty-seven miles of bookshelves … Who needs a treadmill? You could get lost in the expansive Widener Library. The University also has wonderful museums and computer labs, and gyms, pools, tennis courts, and boathouses.

Fun and relaxation

Participate in organized excursions, intramural sports, and musical groups. You can walk, bike, or ride the subway to downtown Boston.
