This might sound like a dumb question, but I'm not exactly sure where Harvard University is. Is it in Boston or somewhere nearby? Just curious!
Harvard University is located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which is right across the Charles River from Boston. The two cities are closely connected and easily accessible to each other via public transportation, such as the MBTA (also known as the "T"). Even though it's not exactly in Boston, its close proximity allows students to enjoy the benefits of both the prestigious university and the vibrant city.
