Established in December 13, 1769 by Eleazar Wheelock, Dartmouth College (commonly referred as Dartmouth) is an Ivy League Research University located in Hanover, New Hampshire.

A Visit to Harvard University - Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA

Considered as the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States of America, I never missed to include Harvard University in my 'must visit' list during my US Trip last 2012 (Fall season). A university established last 1636 and named after its first benefactor John Harvard (you can check a photo of his statue below), the place itself is no doubt one of the best of its kind. From ancient-inspired buildings to modern facilities, the institution marked a legacy to be one of the world's most famous and top university.

Here are my shots taken during this visit.
