Harvard University is typically considered the top university in the United States if not the world. To find what it takes to get into this brutally selective school, check out the Harvard admissions profile.

Memorial Hall is one of the most iconic buildings on the Harvard campus. The building was constructed in the 1870s to commemorate men who fought in the Civil War. Memorial Hall is just off of Harvard Yard next to the Science Center. The building houses Annenberg Hall, a popular dining area for undergraduates, and Sanders Theatre, an impressive space used for concerts and lectures.
