Located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Harvard University has long been thought of as one of the premier universities in the United States, if not the world. Founded in 1636, it has been teaching America's brightest students for almost 400 years. Harvard has approximately 6,500 undergraduates per year who are attending the school, and it boasts an acceptance rate of only 7.9 percent. The average tuition at Harvard University is over $37,000 per year. However, it does have a very large endowment that can help off-set the cost of education through scholarship programs.
