This place was built to be gorgeous in green ivy and stunning in snow. If you want a stock Harvard story to tell, just give them the brief rundown of the famous Russian (now replica) bells. Lowell is built like a fortress, and on the inside it feels like a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of Harvard life...
