Advantages of Studying at Harvard University
Without a doubt, Harvard University is one of the most renowned educational institutions in the world. Thus, we have outlined some advantages of the oldest university in the USA.
One of them is that the institution is nearly 400 years old, having been founded in 1636 in the city of Cambridge by the Massachusetts General Court.
At that time, the U.S. was not yet an independent country. All this prestige is reflected in Harvard’s outstanding performance in major international university rankings. In the QS World University Ranking 2022, for example, the institution ranks 3rd among the best universities in Brazil and 5th in the global ranking.
