哈佛是美国本土历史最悠久的高等学府，诞生于1636年，在2017US news世界大学排名中名列第一，美国大学排名第二位，是很多国际学生的梦寐以求的大学。那么哈佛大学的校园生活是什么样子的呢?下面就和出国留学网一起来看看吧。
Lasting Friendships in a Lifelong Community
Both as a freshman living in historic Harvard Yard and as an upperclassman living in one of Harvard’s iconic residential Houses (the first of their kind in America), you and your fellow classmates will share an infinite range of experiences and aspirations. You will live in a diverse community of students hailing from all 50 states and more than 80 countries who bring different backgrounds, life experiences and perspectives to campus.
在一个终身社区中获得长久友谊
作为新生生活在历史上有名的哈佛校园，并且作为高年级学生生活在哈佛大学其中一个标志性的学生宿舍(在美国首次)，你和你的同学将会共同享受无限范围的经历和灵感。你将会生活在一个多元化的学生社区当中，学生们来自所有的50个州以及超过80个的国家，有着不同的文化背景、生活经历以及校园视角。
Freshman life in the Yard
You will spend your initial year in Harvard Yard, where the University first originated. Through social and other activities specially designed for freshmen (Freshman Arts Program, Freshman Outdoor Program, and Yard intramurals), you quickly get to know your classmates and the College.
All freshman dormitories are located in or adjacent to the Yard. The Freshman Dean’s Office is responsible for roommate selection and for many years has earned wide acclaim for creating successful matches—and lifelong friendships—among first-year students. Typically, students live in suites, which include a common room and two to four bedrooms. Freshman meals are taken in Annenberg Hall, one of Harvard’s most beautiful interior spaces and dedicated exclusively to freshmen.
哈佛园的新生生活：
你将会在哈佛园度过你的第一年，是哈佛的心脏地带，是最富盛名的地方，也是低年级学生生活学习的地方。通过特别提供给大学新生的社会活动和一些其他的活动(新生艺术项目、新生户外方案、以及哈佛园内活动)，你可以快速的了解你的同学和学院。
所有的新生宿舍都位于邻近哈佛园。大学新生教务处负责宿舍安排和室友选择已经很多年，有着良好的声誉，在一年级学生中创造了很多成功的搭配——以及终生的友谊。通常情况下，学生们居住在套间里面，包括一个通用房间和两个到四个卧室。大学新生的就餐食堂为安能堡厅，是哈佛大学最美丽的一个室内空间，并且专门提供给大学新生。
Upperclass houses
After your first year, you will enter one of 12 residences, called Houses. Built in the early 20th century, they represent the first American creation of smaller communities within an existing college. Houses foster informal interactions between undergraduates and faculty, and provide a residential experience rich in cultural, intellectual, and social character. Each House, led by a Faculty Dean (a faculty member who lives in the House) and his or her family, consists of 350 to 500 students.
One of the most exciting moments of freshman year is Housing Day, when students learn to which House they have been assigned for the next three years. By sharing in House meals, extracurriculars, intramural sports, and other activities, House life becomes one of the most important and rewarding aspects of attending Harvard.
高年级学生：
当你在哈佛大学完成了第一年的学习之后，你将会进入12个宿舍中的一个，称为Houses。建立于20世纪早期，它们代表着在当前校园内第一个美国创造的小社区。Houses培养了本科学生和教职员工之间的非正式交流，并且提供了文化、智慧、和社会角色丰富的居住体验。每一个Houses，都是由一个学院院长(居住在House里面的大学教职工)以及他的家人管理的，由350-500名学生组成。
在大学新生年最激动人心的一个时刻就是Housing Day，这个时候学生们将会知道接下来的三年时间，自己被安排到哪一个宿舍住宿。通过分享Housing伙食、课外活动、校内运动以及一些其他的活动，Housing生活变成了就读于哈佛大学的一个最重要也是最有乐趣的一个方面。
Boston and Cambridge
A 10-minute subway ride takes you from Harvard to downtown Boston, the quintessential “college town” with 200,000 students at 50 institutions. Cambridge and Boston combine New England charm and modern infrastructure, with a convenient transportation system that will take you from the heart of Harvard Square to many destinations throughout Boston.

波士顿和剑桥：
