| Duke has some nice nature. It has a Botanical garden on campus and access to hiking/running/biking trails and parks, mountains, streams, and some lakes nearby. They have 8000 acres of forest too. |

| Carleton College has an 800-acre arboretum adjacent to campus, with trails for walking, running, and cross-country skiing. The college is walkable to the lovely downtown of a small town (Northfield) and 40 minutes from the Twin Cities. |

Blacksburg is great for hiking, camping, climbing, mountain biking, fishing, and there are even a few places to ski depending on the year.
AT goes right through there. New River is amazing. |

Ok for nature. But no town to speak of. |

| +1 for UVM, UVA, VA Tech, WI-Madison and CO-Boulder. I also liked the town and schools in Amherst, MA with great views of the Berkshires. While the Duke gardens and forest are nice, I didn't get a "nature vibe" on campus or the surrounding area. |
