<p>Ok for winter break, i visited boston and naturally of course, went to harvard. the school was closed for the holidays, but i still walked around the campus. yeah its big and great, just like the pictures. i took some pictures of me leaning off of John Harvard's foot and checked out the library (from the outside) overall it looks cool, but i couldnt go in and see it for real but oh well. i also saw MIT which is pretty cool too, but not as cool as harvard (no offense, harvard has cooler architechture)</p>
<p>You know thousands of Harvard students have urinated on that foot, right?</p>
<p>WHAT???????? really??? you kidding?</p>
<p>Yeah that's pretty much common knowledge.</p>
<p>In one of the two tours that I took there, the guide said that it's funny to see everyone taking pictures with it and touching it while students all walk by and chuckle. I think it's been a standing tradition for quite some time now...</p>
<p>wow that's quite impressive LOL LOL</p>
<p>hahaha i live in Boston, u liked Harvard?</p>
<p>yeah it's true. best not to touch it lol</p>
<p>im planning to visit harvard. Thanks for reminding guys!</p>
<p>kinda like when i visited Penn there was this statue of Ben Franklin, and someone told me lots of drunk frat boys urinate on it</p>
<p>Ironically, I thought MIT's campus is much more impressive than Harvard's. Harvard's architecture is I suppose minimalism and understatement, with its mostly mid-sized Georgian brick buildings. MIT, on the other hand, is imposing, utilitarian, and somewhat monolithic, with its large neoclassical building dotted with modern architecture.</p>
<p>Oh crap. I thought it was strangely colered only because so many people touch it. Wow. I suppose it was only fitting because I went to Au Bon Pain for lunch right afterwards.</p>
<p>Don't worry; maybe the hundreds of Japanese tourists who visited earlier in the day rubbed off all the germs for you.</p>
<p>I was considering ****ing on it for good luck...decided against it since it was broad daylight.</p>
<p>damn sun.</p>

<p>Wow, you are the first person I've ever heard of who liked MIT's archetecture. Most of MIT doesn't look much different from any modern State U.</p>
<p>Yale = stone
Harvard = brick
MIT = concrete</p>
<p>Plus the inside of MIT looks really run down.</p>
<p>It's not that bad, but I don't think it really compares with Harvard architecture.</p>
<p>Lol only an asian or a ccer would go to mit or harvard when it is closed-just to see it from the outside and dream. yeah i happen to be both and i went. i met some other asians as we got off the subway (ahhh! i cant remember the name of the station! mit/belmont? maybe something like that klement? clement?) we wandered cluelessly and stared at mit from the outside while dreaming we go there.</p>
<p>all i really got off the trip was a bunch of jokes about how my parents aren't putting any pressure on me for college. i have full choice to choose between harvard and yale (lol) so besides increased parental expectations and apparently a hand full of urine, i got nothing out of the trip. ha what did i expect?</p>
<p>Kendall Square?</p>
<p>Kendall/MIT</p>
<p>Only a few stops from Harvard Square.</p>
<p>yeah thats it, thanks! lol i went to 3 cities and rode the metro on all of them. (boston, nyc, and washington dc) dc's metro was kinda lame though. nyc's was amazing.</p>
