Recently I paid a visit to Harvard university, where there are top class scientists and professors and the
best academic system in the world.
I was pretty shocked when I first stepped onto the campus. Well, it's not even really a campus. it's more
like a district in a small town.
Harvard's main buildings are from the 18th century. They look very old and simple. You might even say
they're a little shabby. They don't fit the modern idea of university at all. The buildings are surrounded by
grass and trees, so I felt as if I had walked into a medieval (中世纪的) castle. But when I looked across the
street, busy shops and in-fashion students made me feel like I was in the 21st century again. It creates a strong
contrast and brings a special atmosphere to the school.
Our tour guide Gary took us around and told us:"You see this grass field in the center of the school? Here
is where they host their graduation ceremony. They just set up tents and benches and have a very simple
ceremony," Unbelievable! Who would think the most talented students just graduate on the lawn?
I saw some students put a blanket on the grass and lie down to read a book. When I listened to the soft
sound of pages turning, along with chirping of the birds, I felt very much calm. There was no competitive
feeling at all.
Harvard has the world's first computer in its science center and there are hundreds of high-end computers
too. Its religion and literature department are also among the best. It is the perfect mix of tradition and new
technology. It makes Harvard a very attractive place to study in.
