Conor Coady is sat in one of the world's most famous seats of learning.
No fewer than eight presidents of America graduated from Harvard University, which provides Liverpool FC with their training camp in Boston this week.
Coady recently got an education of his own but the setting for that was a world away from the picturesque surroundings of the prestigious Massachusetts institution.
The 21-year-old midfielder spent last season fighting it out in the third tier of English football with Sheffield United.
From Colchester to Crawley, Stevenage to Shrewsbury, life in League One was in stark contrast to the Academy football Coady had become accustomed to.
