Harvard University, founded in 1636, is the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States. Its campus straddles the Charles River, with facilities in both Boston and Cambridge. Harvard University's 21-acre Medical Campus is located in Longwood Medical Center, a world-renowned cluster of medical, academic, and research institutions adjacent to the Fenway neighborhood. The campus is comprised of Harvard's Medical School, School of Dental Medicine, and School of Public Health with a total enrollment of 2,793 students.
