Mark Zuckerberg Returns To Harvard Dorm Where Facebook Began

Mark Zuckerberg famously founded Facebook in
his Harvard dormitory room in 2004. Exactly 13
years late, with billions of users and tens of
billions of dollars, the 33-year-old has returned to
the place it all began.

The Facebook CEO returned to his Kirkland dorm,
Cambridge, on Tuesday, after being invited to give
the commencement speech at the prestigious
school later this week. He will also finally
graduate – more than a decade after dropping
out to focus on the social media site.
Zuckerberg, and his wife Priscilla Chan, filmed
themselves touring the old rooms, and
reminiscing about their time at university.

‘It’s fun visiting Kirkland age 33, again,’ he said
on the Facebook Live video. ‘It’s my first time
being back here since I left 13 years ago. This
has been a place where a lot of really special
things happened in my life,’ he said referring to
his dorm room, ‘I’m really grateful.’
