HII EVERYONE, Welcome to "TalKINGLY FACTS" Series.!

In this series, we will cover all types of topics that you can think of.

This is the second post #2 of this series in which we have collected facts related to psychology, tech, filming, animals and many more.

So let us start:


1. Filming is not allowed in Haward University. 

Harvard University has produced many talented, successful full people like Barack Obama, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, etc. Due to this many biography films and film-based on students life are made around Haward University.

But the truth is Haward has banned film shooting since 1970 after they found that many trees on their ground are got damaged by the filmmakers while shooting films. They even don't allow tripods in the University.

Filming or photography is prohibited

So you can now conclude that the movies made after the 1970s are not actually made in Haward University but are shot in other Universities like Wheaton College, University of Illinois at Urban-Champaign.
