Life at HDS

Community life at Harvard Divinity School is rich and varied. Students can be seen gathering for announcements at our weekly Community Tea, worshiping together at the weekly Noon Service, studying in small groups in the library, or even gathering on the lawn outside Divinity Hall to enjoy springtime volleyball games.

Our students live, work, eat, socialize, and worship in a variety of settings in the Cambridge and Boston area. We encourage you to explore the Office of Student Life website, which provides the most current information about life at HDS. Please also feel free to review our Frequently Asked Questions to learn more about our School and community life.

Please note that campus safety is extremely important to the Harvard University community. More information about campus safety can be found in Harvard's annual security report.
