1、哈佛概况 
Harvard University is devoted1 to excellence2 in teaching, learning, and research, and to developing leaders in many disciplines who make a difference globally. Harvard faculty3 are engaged with teaching and research to push the boundaries of human knowledge. For students who are excited to investigate the biggest issues of the 21st century, Harvard offers an unparalleled student experience and a generous financial aid program, with over $160 million awarded to more than 60% of our undergraduate students. 
哈佛大学致力于在教育、学习和研究上追求卓越,并且在全球范围内在多学科上培养领袖。哈佛教职员工在教学和科研领域努力推动人类知识的拓展。对于有兴趣研究二十一世纪最重要问题的学生来说,哈佛大学提供了无与伦比的学生经历和丰厚的奖学金项目。超过百分之六十的学生获得了总额超过一亿六千万美元的资助。
2、哈佛历史 
Established in 1636, Harvard is the oldest institution of higher education in the United States. The University, which is based in Cambridge and Boston, Massachusetts, has an enrollment4 of over 20,000 degree candidates, including undergraduate, graduate, and professional students. Harvard has more than 360,000 alumni around the world. 
哈佛大学建立于1636年,是美国最早的高等学府之一。哈佛大学坐落于马萨诸塞州的剑桥和波士顿,拥有包括本科生、研究生和专业学生在内超过两万名学生,在全球拥有超过三十六万名校友。 
3、哈佛学生 
Harvard College’s diverse student population makes it hard to describe the typical student and even harder to describe the quintessential Harvard student experience. Students come from all 50 states and from over 80 countries; from cities, suburbs, small towns and farms; from public, private and parochial schools; from every ethnic5 and religious background; and from across the economic spectrum6
哈佛本科生学院多元化的生源使得我们很难去描绘出一个典型的学生形象,更不要说一个标准的哈佛学生的经历。学生来自美国所有五十个州和超过八十个国家,包括城市与郊区、小镇和农场,曾就读于公立、私立和教会学校,拥有着各种种族、宗教和经济背景。 

4、住宿餐饮 
The housing system at Harvard is designed to create a full collegiate experience for all four years of undergraduate education. As freshmen7, students live in one of the dormitories in Harvard Yard, a prime location, and eat in the historic Annenberg dining hall.After their first year at Harvard, students are placed into one of the 12 houses on campus and continue to live there for the remainder of their residential8 life at Harvard. Over ninety-seven percent of Harvard undergrads choose to live on campus for all four years. 
哈佛的住宿体系是为了给学生在本科四年中创造一个全面的学生经历。作为一个新生,学生住在位置极佳的哈佛园内的一个宿舍中,并在历史悠久安娜堡食堂用餐。在第一年之后,学生将被安排在校园内的十二个宿舍中,并在那里度过其剩余的哈佛生活。超过百分之九十七的哈佛本科生选择在校园内住满四年。
5、学生生活 
With over 400 official student organizations including extra-curriculars and athletic9 opportunities in addition to academics, Harvard students are active around and beyond campus. Whether in Harvard Stadium playing on the field or cheering on The Harvard Crimson10, volunteering through organizations, researching in one of the many labs, writing or editing at The Harvard Crimson or The Harvard Lampoon11, Harvard students are continuously learning — and constantly busy! 
哈佛拥有超过四百个官方的学生组织,涵盖课外活动、田径运动、学术活动等各个方面,因此哈佛学生得以活跃在校园的各个地方。无论是在体育馆还是在田径场上,或是为了哈佛运动队加油助威、在机构里做志愿者、在实验室中做研究,还是为了哈佛的校报撰写或编辑文章,哈佛的学生总是在不断地学习着——也始终忙碌着! 
6、学术设置 
Harvard University is made up of 11 principal academic units – ten faculties12 and the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. The ten faculties oversee13 schools and divisions that offer courses and award academic degrees.

  哈佛大学由11个主要学术单位组成——包括十个院系和雷德克里夫高等研究所。这十个院系监督和统领各个学院和分支机构开设课程、授予学位。
