Hey everyone. I'm in the process of shortlisting colleges to apply to and one of the factors I'm considering is the physical beauty of the campus. Aesthetic appeal might not be everyone's priority, but I personally find it important when picturing my college life. So, what are some of the most beautiful college campuses in the world? I want to apply to places where I'd enjoy spending the next 4 years of my life, environment-wise.
