From time to time, I read the Architectural Digest magazine and I remember seeing a list of the most beautiful college campuses. Does anyone remember which colleges were featured?
I don't have access to the exact list you saw in Architectural Digest, but I can offer some colleges that often feature in lists for beautiful campuses! Here they are:
1. Princeton University: Nestled within a quaint town, their well-preserved gothic architecture and lush green spaces make for a picturesque setting.
2. University of Virginia: The planning of this university was actually overseen by Thomas Jefferson, and the Rotunda based on the Pantheon surrounded by uniform red-brick houses is particularly impressive.
3. Stanford University: This campus blends Californian vegetation with sand-colored, red-roofed Spanish colonial architecture.
4. University of Chicago: The University is known for its intricate Gothic architectural style, much of which was modeled after various colleges in England.
5. University of Notre Dame: Features such as the Golden Dome and the Basilica create an aesthetically impressive campus.
6. Bryn Mawr College: This college stands out with its stone gothic architecture and sprawling green lawns.
Each of these campuses has their own unique, beautiful characteristics, so it's worth looking them up to see the beauty for yourself! Bear in mind that the ambiance of a college and its surroundings can also greatly enhance your college experience, so when you're making your college list, consider visiting campuses if possible. Be sure to enjoy those virtual tours as well!
