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 very when I first stepped onto the campus(校园). Well, it’s not even really a campus. It's like an area in a small town.
Harvard's main buildings are from the 18th century.They look very old and . You might say they’re a little shabby(破旧). They don’t fit the modern 40 of university at all. The buildings are surrounded by and trees, so I felt as if I had walked into a castle of the Mid-Ages. But when I looked across the street, the shops and in-fashion(时尚的) students made me feel like I was in the 21st century . It creates a strong contrast(对比)and brings a special 41 to the school.
Our tents Gary took us around told us.“You see this grass field in the center of the school?Here is where they hold their ceremony .They just set up tents and benches and have a very simple ceremony.” It's ! Who would think the most talented students just graduate on the grass?
I some students put a blanket on the grass and lie down to read a book. When I listened to the soft sound of turning, along with the singing of the birds, I felt very .There was no competitive felling at all.
Harvard has the world’s first computer in its science centre there are hundreds of high-end computers, too. Its religion(宗教) and the literature departments are also the best. It is the perfect mix of tradition and technology.It makes Harvard a very attractive place to in.
I hope one day I’ll my dream school --- Harvard.
