Harvard Square is located in Cambridge, Boston. The square is both a community and a part of Harvard University. There are shopping malls, bookstores, and restaurants here. Harvard students can spend their daily necessities here as well as participate in various learning and social activities.
I took the subway to Harvard and came out of the famous Harvard Square. It was not as good as I imagined. It felt a bit dirty and messy. I had the same feeling when I entered the Harvard campus. I couldn't imagine that this was the world's first university founded in 1636 and dreamed of by countless people.
Going to Harvard is probably everyone's dream. Four years ago, I was full of enthusiasm but failed to make the trip. This time, I finally got to see the place I believed in. Boston is one of the few cities that can be walked and traveled by public transportation. Get off at Harvard Square Station, and Harvard Yard is across the street. The red brick buildings are all inconspicuous, but what is precious is this simple and quiet atmosphere. When I arrived in front of the famous bronze statue of Mr. Harvard, I touched his left foot and hoped that I would become smarter!
