Harvard and MIT

There are only three subway stops’ distance between Harvard and MIT, but the differences between them are like men and women, out of reach.
I could easily find the difference when I was just out of the subway station: There was a sea of people in the  Harvard Square while I could only see a big ball in a fountain and a few people out of the the MIT station.

Harvard was lively and crowded, there were many beautiful libraries, lots of schools, a lot of students and even groups of visitors. MIT was calm and quiet,  there were few buildings and fewer people, and it was hard to find the campus of MIT.

There are also other differences which can't be found by eyes: MIT is focuses on science and technology while Harvard is better at social science and humanities. The ways that they train students are also not the same. Students can get more free time in Harvard if they want, but it is something  the MIT's students can't imagine. The students of MIT have to work hard and hard to finish their homework and experiments, many students don't even have time to visit the Boston Bridge until they graduate. There is a saying that it is hard to enter Harvard while it is hard to get out of the MIT.

However, no matter how many differences between Harvard and MIT, there is one thing they share: they are both in the pursuit of truth.
