Harvard University is a private Ivy League

in Cambridge, Massachusetts, established in 1636 by the Massachusetts
legislature. Harvard is the oldest institution of higher learning in

Fellows of Harvard College) chartered in the country. It’s one of the
most prestigious universities in the world.
The university comprises eleven separate academic units — ten faculties
and the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study — with campuses
throughout the Boston metropolitan area. The business school and
athletics facilities, including Harvard Stadium, are located across the
Charles River in Allston and the medical, dental, and public health
schools are located in the Longwood Medical Area.

library in the

States,

the country.

approximately 6,700 undergraduates (Harvard College) and 14,500
graduate and professional students. Eight U.S. Presidents have graduated
from Harvard and 75 Nobel Laureates have been affiliated with the
university as students, faculty, or staff. Harvard is also the alma mater of
sixty-two living billionaires, the most in the country.
Princeton University is a private research university located in Princeton,

Princeton provides undergraduate and graduate instruction in
the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and
engineering. Princeton does not offer professional schooling
generally, but it does offer professional master's degrees
(mostly through the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and
International Affairs) and doctoral programs.

“Under God she flourishes.” While it once had close ties to the
Presbyterian Church, it makes no spiritual demands of its students. The
university has ties with the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton
Theological Seminary, and the Westminster Choir College of Rider
University.

undergraduate and 6,100 graduate and professional students. Almost all
tenured professors teach undergraduate courses, more than 2,000 of
which are offered annually. The University's assets include a US$16.7
