Hi! This might be a silly question, but is Harvard University located in Boston or Cambridge? I want to make sure I'm accurate when talking to my family about it.
No worries, it's always good to clarify! Harvard University is actually located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Cambridge is a separate city right next to Boston, just across the Charles River. The two cities are often grouped together due to their close proximity, but it's important to note that Harvard's main campus is in Cambridge, not Boston. That said, the greater Boston area, including Cambridge, has a wealth of prestigious colleges and universities, making it a vibrant academic hub.
