(ANSA) - NEW YORK, 03 SEPT - For the first time in 384 years of history, Harvard University will not open its campus for the fall semester. The doors for the start of the teaching activity were supposed to open on September 2, but due to the pandemic all the teaching activities have been moved online.


    Access to the dormitories was allowed only to students who do not have the opportunity to learn otherwise. However, they cannot access the other buildings of the University which is part of the prestigious Ivy League circuit. In a normal context, 97% of students attending Harvard live on the campus for the duration of their studies. (HANDLE).
