PostHeaderIcon 10 Most Beautiful College Campuses In The Country

College campuses are often known for their beauty. The well manicured lawns surrounded by towering buildings that display stunning architecture provide students with an idyllic location in which to learn. These 10 most beautiful college campuses in the country are worth checking out whether you are there for the college experience or just want to take in the beauty.

Pepperdine University

Pepperdine University, the most beautiful college campus in the country, takes full advantage of its location of the California beach area. Malibu is known for its beauty and Pepperdine students get to enjoy the campus and all that lies beyond its borders.

Princeton University

Princeton University features gothic architecture that is a wonder to behold. While Princeton may be best known for its academics, its architecture combined with the perfectly kept up green grounds make it the second most beautiful college campus.

Loyola Marymount University

This is another university that enjoys the benefits of its California location. Los Angeles is known for its luxurious, even decadent beauty and Loyola Marymount University is a sweet spot that fits right into these surroundings by continuing this theme.

Sweet Briar College

Sweet Briar College is located in Virginia and is only for the ladies. Still, at least someone gets to enjoy this southern treasure.

Mount Holyoke College

Mount Holyoke College is the second school for only women on this list and features the best of New England. Adjacent to the picturesque Pioneer Valley, this school was bound to make the list.

Agnes Scott College

Agnes Scott College is yet another college for women and makes one wonder if the beauty of a campus and its student population are related somehow. This campus is located in Georgia and sports lush trees, flowers, and lawns.

Sewanee

This school in Tennessee has special nature features that set it apart from other schools. Its caves, streams, and mountains make it the ideal location for nature lovers. The school offers a vast array of outdoor activities to take advantage of all this natural beauty.

Kenyon College

Kenyon College finds its home in the small town known as Gambion, Ohio. This college has its architecture as its claim to a spot on this list. Appealingly designed sound structures cover this campus and make it a feast for the eyes.

Scripps College

This California college is said to have a feeling more similar to a resort than a school and surely the students aren’t complaining. With verdant gardens, opulent fountains, and mighty trees dotting this breathtaking campus, Scripps College is surely a piece of heaven.

Elon University

The campus of Elon University is simply pristine. It has a feel of something akin to a country club and this is fitting. The buildings and the landscaping are perfectly maintained at all times, leading to a clean, quaffed campus.

These are the 10 most beautiful college campuses in the country. Each one has a unique campus that showcases its natural and manmade wonders. A trip to any one of these schools would be worth it to see the way that nature and architecture can come together to create something magical.

Location description

Kathmandu sits inside a valley where you can see the Himalaya peaking over the foot hills first thing in the morning while the fog lifts. With an interesting mix of new and old you can find yourself caught up in the hectic city pace of traffic, honking horns and department stores with brand name goods at one moment, and then you turn a corner and step back in time were only bicycles and cows travel and shopping is done in traditional open air markets
