What is the meaning of 厚重感？ This is from an interview text:

我从小就喜欢文学，而且对北大非常向往。在我眼里，北大的精华都在文史哲，它们有一种厚重感。

我从小就喜欢文学，
As a child I always liked literature

而且对北大非常向往。
and I longed to go to Beijing University.

在我眼里，
In my eyes,

北大的精华都在文史哲，
Beijing University is quintessentially a place for literature, history and philosophy,

它们有一种厚重感。
they have a ????  

They are very important there??
They are taken very seriously there??
These subjects have great weight there??
These subjects are profoundly important there??
I feel they are profoundly important there??

How should I translate '它们有一种厚重感。'??

Edit: found this in iciba.com

Scotland is a unique and austere place, laden with history.

参考译文苏格兰是一个独特的地方,自然条件虽不得天独厚, 历史的厚重感却随处可见.

历史的厚重感却随处可见 laden with history

So maybe I can translate:
I feel it, the university, is laden with literature, history and philosophy
I feel it is laden with them.
I feel they ooze from the walls.

春节快乐，万事如意！
厚重= thick and heavy
厚重感 = a thick and heavy feel
The most direct translation would be &quot;a thick and heavy feel&quot;. It implies the air is filled with some sense that you can almost feel it's thickness and weight.
In the context of the quotes, 厚重感 can also be translated as &quot;a substantial feel&quot; or &quot;a feel of immensity&quot;

substantial (adjective):

of ample or considerable amount, quantity, size

of solid character or quality; firm, stout, or strong



~

immensity(noun):

vastness; enormous extent:
the immensity of the Roman empire.
