 Day 5: Cambridge - Harvard University

by Leire Frosini & Unai Jourdain

Today we started our day at 8.15 am by accompanying our host students to their first period class. After that we took a bus to Cambridge and went to Harvard University, where we met our tour guide. His name is Victor and he is a recent Scituate High School graduate and a student at Harvard. He showed us around campus, we saw the university’s buildings and the big gardens. He also took us to the Harvard merchandise store that had a lot of books, postcards and Harvard sweaters & stuff, but then he had to go to class so he left. 

Then, we visited Harvard Natural History Museum and we saw the expos there: the mineral one where we could see minerals and jewels, and the Glass flowers one where we saw ultra-realistic models of plants made from glass. After that we had free time to buy things and to have lunch at Harvard Square, the square right outside the uni that’s full of shops. 

At 2..15 pm we went back to the school bus and we returned to SHS to meet our host families, and many of the students stayed after to watch their host sudents’ sport practices.
