Many visitors to Cambridge are there to see its two major universities, Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT and Harvard University, either as tourists or as prospective students. Both universities have extensive information for visiting prospects. As this typically varies with type of student graduate, undergraduate and program of study for graduate students, prospectives are best advised to visit the school websites that interest them.
Harvard Yard, located right by the Harvard stop on the Red Line subway, is the center of Harvard College and a favorite of tourists, who can often be seen taking pictures of each other at the statue of John Harvard, located in front of Massachusetts Hall. You'll also find the Business School across the Charles in Allston and the Medical School with its own spectacular marble quad the Longwood Medical Area in Boston.
In the shadows of these two giants are other fine schools.
