Hi everyone! I know it might be a super simple question, but where exactly is Harvard University located? I always hear about it, but never really get to know where it's located. This is lowkey embarrassing but please be kind, this is just a curious junior here :)
Not a problem at all! It's always a good idea to ask when you're not sure about something. Harvard University is located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. Cambridge is a city just outside of Boston, and Harvard is, in fact, deeply ingrained in the Cambridge and Greater Boston community. It's an exciting ecological space filled with a rich mix of history, academia, and culture. Plus, being in such close proximity to other colleges and universities makes the area vibrant and engaging for students across many disciplines. You're in junior year so you have lots of time to research different colleges. Location is definitely an important factor to consider!
