How to Get the Harvard Yard Badge

The Harvard Yard Badge is achieved though a social networking site called Foursquare that is used as an application with smart phones to share the locations you visit with your friends who also belong to the site. Foursquare is compatible with Facebook and your friends can be merged to your Foursquare account. To get the badge, you must visit locations in Cambridge, Mass., that are predetermined by Foursquare to be "Harvard" locations. Foursquare is free to join.
