Experience Boston Area

Adventuring around the Harvard University Boston Campus

Harvard University has a presence in Boston beyond its main campus in Cambridge. It has significant locations in the Allston and Longwood Medical areas of Boston. While the Fenway-Kenmore area is not directly part of Harvard's campuses, it is adjacent to the Boston University campus and known for its student population, including those from Harvard and other Boston universities.
