Absolutely, breathtakingly beautiful, even though some construction was going on. Appearance wise, it really lives up to expectations. [View Full Report]

As I expected, the Harvard campus was absolutely beautiful. One of the most gorgeous campuses I've ever seen. The buildings are red brick and everything's covered with ivy. [View Full Report]

The campus was pretty with large trees and grassy areas cut by paved paths between the buildings. It looked very collegiate. It was raining when we visited so there were puddles everywhere. [View Full Report]

A lovely campus - red brick buildings surrounding lots of green. Campus is quite spread out compared to the other schools we visited. Lots of people around, plus three other tours at the same time. [View Full Report]

The campus has some nice parts with rich architecture, but other buildings, such as the technology lab, seem out of place. The space was crowded and not as nice as many of the other Ivies overall. [View Full Report]

They didn't let us see anything inside except hallway of Memorial Hall. Guide told us science building was ugly, which was obvious. Other buildings looked nice from outside. [View Full Report]

The buildings are breathtaking. Annenberg Hall and Widener Library were my favorites. The whole campus is just so grand on a large scale. Every effort seems to be made to keep the campus beautiful. [View Full Report]

Sunny, bright day, but could be a bit better for the freshmen campus (now Duke, there's perfection) [View Full Report]

Wow...I loved the campus so much! The older buildings are stunning--especially Memorial Hall. The surrounding area of Cambridge is charming, yet large enough to satisfy any craving for city life. [View Full Report]

the buildings were gorgeous, but a bit old-fashioned. But I prefer harvard's architecture over MIT's modern-crap buildings. [View Full Report]

Not very impressive at all. Campus spread out, lots of traffic, not even in the same ballpark as Princeton, Brown and Stanford [View Full Report]

Gorgeous, of course. Make sure to walk along the Charles and check out the river houses. [View Full Report]

Georgian architecture. Gates, house buildings, all beatiful. Annenburg hall is very Harry Potter like, though they don't let you go into the main hall. [View Full Report]

The Yard is really just muddy and roped off in sections. No flowers anywhere. Something is missing, and I think that those grey clouds are always overhead. [View Full Report]
