Interesting list of 30 colleges & universities based on campus beauty:
https://travelandleisure.com/attractions/colleges-universities/americas-most-beautiful-college-campuses |
VA colleges are exactly what I expected |
Both U Virginia & College of William & Mary are on the list.
U Chicago, Northwestern, Berry College, Stanford, Princeton, Wellesley College, Bryn Mawr, U Colorado-Boulder, U Washington-Seattle, Rice, Lewis & Clark College, Yale, Duke, Furman University, Wisconsin-Madison, Kenyon College, Notre Dame, Bard, Michigan, Vanderbilt, Flagler College, Florida Southern, Sewanee-The Univ. of the South, UVA, Wm. & Mary, U San Diego, Cornell, Swarthmore College, U Georgia, & U Hawaii. |
If this list of 30 colleges & universities was expanded to 33 schools,which schools do you think deserve to be added ? |
For example, I would add three service academies (USMA at West Point, USAFA-Colorado Springs, USNA-Annapolis). |
UVA’s “grounds” are overrated. Other than the Lawn, which is fairly small, the rest of the buildings are just kind of meh.
There are other campuses in Virginia that are prettier - UMW, JMU, and Virginia Tech come to mind. |
North Idaho College in Couer d'Alene, Idaho is gorgeous. Two year public community college that borders both a gorgeous lake and a stunningly beautiful river. |
What's the ACT range? |
Western Washington University in Bellingham, Washington. Incredibly beautiful campus & setting. |
Barry is a strange one...definitely stranger it is #2.
The campus is both small and massive...the actual campus students use is small and the buildings are just fine. The campus is technically 27,000 acres but I don't get how it matters if there are rolling fields and beautiful lakes that are roughly 20,000 acres away from you that you will never visit. |
Cue a bunch of people saying this list is wrong, they x college belongs on it and y college doesn’t belong on it.
Anyone care to bet how many pages we’ll get to? 6? |
Probably close to open enrollment. Very limited on-campus housing at North Idaho College, but Couer d'Alene is a resort community with a decent amount of off-campus housing options. The lake and the river are connected, however, unfortunately, the river flows away from the lake. https://nic.edu/education-training/ |
Berry College in Rome, Georgia has the largest college campus in the world at 27,000 acres. This school appears on many "most beautiful campus" lists. Almost everyone gets a partial scholarship (seems like a standard discount). Christian school, but the religious aspect is modest. Great place for distance runners to train. |
The University of Arizona in Tempe, Arizona has an attractive campus & a decent Honors College. |
What a surprising list in some ways.
UVA beautiful? Not as beautiful as Loyola Marymount in Los Angeles or Occidental with all their trees. Do people think there's a different agenda here? |
