- Walking around Harvard University campus on a beautiful snow day. I recorded this video in late February 2021 and this might be the last major snowstorm of the season in the Boston area. The campus was covered in a warm blanket of snow - so quiet and pretty. I hope you enjoy this picturesque 30 minutes tour.
Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoy the video!

Brief intro of Harvard:
Harvard University is a private Ivy League research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Established in 1636 and named for its first benefactor, clergyman John Harvard, Harvard is the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States and among the most prestigious in the world.
The Massachusetts colonial legislature, the General Court, authorized Harvard's founding. In its early years, Harvard College primarily trained Congregational and Unitarian clergy, although it has never been formally affiliated with any denomination. Its curriculum and student body were gradually secularized during the 18th century, and by the 19th century, Harvard had emerged as the central cultural establishment among the Boston elite. Following the American Civil War, President Charles William Eliot's long tenure (1869-1909) transformed the college and affiliated professional schools into a modern research university; Harvard became a founding member of the Association of American Universities in 1900. James B. Conant led the university through the Great Depression and World War II; he liberalized admissions after the war.
The university is composed of ten academic faculties plus the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. Arts and Sciences offers study in a wide range of academic disciplines for undergraduates and for graduates, while the other faculties offer only graduate degrees, mostly professional. Harvard has three main campuses: the 209-acre (85 ha) Cambridge campus centered on Harvard Yard; an adjoining campus immediately across the Charles River in the Allston neighborhood of Boston; and the medical campus in Boston's Longwood Medical Area. Harvard's endowment is valued at $41.9 billion, making it the largest of any academic institution. Endowment income helps enable the undergraduate college to admit students regardless of financial need and provide generous financial aid with no loans. The Harvard Library is the world's largest academic library system, comprising 79 individual libraries holding about 20.4 million items.
Harvard has more alumni, faculty, and researchers who have won Nobel Prizes (161) and Fields Medals (18) than any other university in the world and more alumni who have been members of the U.S. Congress, MacArthur Fellows, Rhodes Scholars (375), and Marshall Scholars (255) than any other university in the United States.[18] Its alumni also include eight U.S. presidents and 188 living billionaires, the most of any university. Fourteen Turing Award laureates have been Harvard affiliates. Students and alumni have also won 10 Academy Awards, 48 Pulitzer Prizes, and 108 Olympic medals (46 gold), and they have founded many notable companies.
Harvard's 209-acre (85 ha) main campus is centered on Harvard Yard in Cambridge, about 3 miles (5 km) west-northwest of downtown Boston, and extends into the surrounding Harvard Square neighborhood. Harvard Yard itself contains key administrative offices such as University Hall and Massachusetts Hall; libraries such as Widener, Pusey, Houghton, and Lamont; Memorial Church; academic buildings such as Sever Hall and Harvard Hall; and most freshman dormitories. Sophomore, junior, and senior undergraduates live in twelve residential houses, nine of which are south of Harvard Yard along or near the Charles River. The other three are located in a residential neighborhood half a mile northwest of the Yard at the Quadrangle (commonly referred to as the "Quad") which housed Radcliffe College students until Radcliffe merged its residential system with Harvard. Each residential house is a community with undergraduates, faculty deans, and resident tutors, as well as a dining hall, library, and recreational spaces. The houses were made possible by a gift from Yale University alumnus Edward Harkness.
Radcliffe Yard, formerly the center of the campus of Radcliffe College and now home to Harvard's Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, is adjacent to the Graduate School of Education and the Cambridge Common. Harvard has several commercial real estate holdings in Cambridge.

Can you tell me please what should i take tests ? Both ACT and SAT or just one is enough. My GPA in high school is 5.0
Very nice walk Thank you
Lies again? VAR VIR
I look at the Harvard and I think that universities tear young people away from reality, and that it is impossible to return to reality after university illusions. As a result, few people in the world are capable of solving the problems that have accumulated before humanity. The best teacher is life itself. Philosophers, historians, lawyers and journalists must work in seven different businesses, communicate with a wide range of people and learn a living and practical psychology. Academic psychology is only suitable for intellectual narcissists to entertain their peers over cups of coffee. A practicing intellectual person does not need forty subjects studied in universities, but much less. So you need to come to the university once a year for a week or two not only to take a small number of exams (one exam per year), but above all to communicate with intelligent people who help to systematize the experience gained during discussions. . It is necessary to implement the principle of Socrates: it is not necessary to put ready-made theories in a person's brain, but to let theories be born in his brain. So we do not need conferences, but debates on questions from real life. And to have food for discussion, you have to immerse yourself in real life, and not be in an artificial university environm.
my dream college 😭😭😭😭😊😊
me too
Amazing Footage! Great Virtual Tour! 👍👍😊😊 AWESOME! Big Like!
Thank you so much!!😊
Like in the movies!
Thank you❤️
Hey, if possible, whenever you're in Cleveland could you do one of Case Western?
Of course😊 I'm planning to visit Cleveland later in the summer or early Fall. Stay tuned!
@@UniversityWalkTour That's great! I'm planning to attend Case this Fall for my Graduate Studies. As I'm an international student it's hard to get a feel of the campus as there are hardly any campus tours of Case on RUclips. Your videos of schools in Boston are great! (Also got into Tufts and hence it was really cool seeing that video of yours)
@@Mehergudela thank you for your kind words😊 Great to hear the videos helped! Stay safe and healthy and I hope the schools will return to normal operations in the fall. Best of luck in your graduate studies😃😃😃
@@Mehergudela U chose Case over Tufts? They have a better program in ur field?
@@ericdreizen1463 I chose neither in the end and went somewhere else. But yeah, for STEM Case has a much better reputation compared to Tufts.
que genial!!! muchas gracias!
اني املك نظري في الفيزياء كيف اتواصل معكم
I love this video 🌹
The richest, most well-endowed school in the world, in Winter. The most legendary in the world; stately, unpretentious, & this clip is the closest any of us will ever get!
实力最接近清北的外国大学，加油，努力一点可以赶上清北
