What's Inside Harvard University? | Harvard Campus Tour

have you ever wanted to go to harvard university welcome back to another episode of campus crawl today we're featuring my childhood dream harvard university this is one of many entrances into harvard now you're officially on harvard campus so right now we are walking in the harbor yard and it's very beautiful everything is all brick red bricks everywhere and the thing about harvard is that it's the oldest higher education institution in united states and that's why a lot of these are built from bricks as we walk around there's no classes in this area so it's like where a lot of the tourists come and we'll go over there to the main library harvard is very beautiful and elegant to look at there's a lot of dorms in this area actually the thing about harvard is that it was originally founded as a religious institution so that's why you might see a lot of chapel and church like buildings so right now we're in the dead center of harvard yard which is where you'll probably go when you first visit harvard and this is the most iconic shot you'll ever see because behind me is the memorial library and if we do a pan around right behind me this way is the memorial church two of the most iconic buildings at harvard and you can snap your instagram photos right here harvard is actually a liberal arts school and they encourage exploration so when you first enter harvard you don't actually declare a major you select a bunch of different courses and you just take whatever you want to take harvard yard is true to its name because look behind me it's an actual garden a lot of grass here so in the summer time when it's warm sunny some bay then read a book that's what harvard life is all about learning and experiencing the world [Music] right behind me is the statue of mr john harvard the founder of harvard university himself usually there's like a line of people waiting to take pictures but today is not too bad so we get a chance to rub off on the knowledge and the history of mr john harvard so here's here's what you do you come here you touch his toe because he's gonna kick you to the stratosphere of knowledge as you can see here the toe is actually more of a bronze color where the rest is all like black it's because there's constant rubbing on this toe there's a tradition at harvard i don't know if i should tell you but i'm going to tell you anyway the tradition at harvard is that before you graduate from your undergraduate program you gotta pee on this statue so when you rub the foot you might be actually rubbing more than just a bronze over here so you might want to wash your hands afterwards so we can actually go into the library because it's restricted to students only but i can show you the entrance who am i kidding this is campus crawl we got exclusive access into the library we're going to crawl to every corner of harvard university so you can get inspired to one day study here oh marble it's almost like a museum you're stepping into the heritage [Music] i just finished studying coming down from the harvard library that was my dream to study in there as a little kid so i finally did it it's called the science center but a bunch of different faculty students have classes in this building all right hello class so this is the science center this is where a lot of the lecture halls and small classrooms like this are located in this building so if you go to harvard you'll come here a lot [Music] all right so right now we're at harvard square this is basically like a city center of harvard it's more commercialized area the best thing about harvard is that it's interconnected with the city so as soon as you walk outside the campus what you will see is everything from gift shops sandwich shops banks whatever you want it's very convenient yeah they have like bars and restaurants just near here all right let's keep on going they kept a part of the traditional architecture that's why you can feel so much heritage at harvard university all right so now we're in the smith's building and right behind me is the harvard commons this is one of the best study spots on harvard campus because it's newly renovated it looks extremely aesthetic instagram worthy if you come here all right let's go [Music] right now i'm just doing some light studying taking a little break it was a lot of walking harvard campus is pretty spread out classroom buildings which are all spread out within like a 10 block radius basically in the harvard commons they have a mix of quiet studying and like conversation space and maybe you'll be starting your next billion dollar company here i love it it's a nice study environment [Music] so we've been let into the chinese department and these are chinese classrooms this is actually very modern and these classrooms range in size they go from 15 to around 40 people right let's turn lights off oh dim in the center here it's just like a lounge area where you can sit down uh have conversations with okay now i go back to english so this is the chinese department but a lot of the faculties are very similar and they have their own buildings each one of them so harvard has a mix of modern classrooms and old classrooms the old classrooms definitely fit the stereotype of harvard [Music] where [Music] this is a huge church for university because originally harvest started as a religious school they still run service on sundays which is amazing look at the organ all right thank you for coming along with me on campus crawl episode 2 featuring harvard university half of that
