The surrounding area was very nice and had many small shops and places that you can eat and shop at. The Harvard Coop bookstore was very large and nice and very close by. [View Full Report]

The area around Harvard is fair. Cramped and too busy, but it still has some areas of relative peace. [View Full Report]

Harvard has an amazing location. Everything you could possibly need is right around Harvard. Harvard square has a variety of shops, restaurants, cafes, a T stop, etc. Lots of beggers though near the T [View Full Report]

While Cambridge is charming, the absence of most street signs is deplorable. Have they ever heard of signs? By the way, Brattle Street turns near campus. [View Full Report]

Cambridge is a really nice town. I love how its a bit quiet and offers an escape from bustling Boston. [View Full Report]

Such a vibrant, eclectic community, what more could you ask for? Cambridge is the nation's college town. [View Full Report]

Cambridge has a wide array of shops and restaurants. While it feels like a small city, it has a delightful New England twist. And of course, Boston is but a bridge away! In short, I was a big fan. [View Full Report]

Didn't get there much, but seemed like an average near-city town. [View Full Report]

Cambridge is pretty overrated and the people are pretty cranky in general. [View Full Report]
