Aesthetic Community Colleges?

Senior here feeling a bit lost. I might be heading down the community college route, which is fine, but who says CCs can't be nice to look at too? Do you have any suggestions for beautiful Community colleges?

For sure, a college's aesthetic can play a role in your overall experience! Here are a few community colleges known for their striking campuses:

1. Santa Barbara City College in California: This college is located right on the Pacific coast and offers stunning views of the ocean. The campus has Spanish architecture that blends beautifully with the beachy landscape.

2. Orange Coast College, Costa Mesa, California: This campus is known for its beautiful grounds full of tall trees, landscaped gardens, and modern architecture. It's also located near the beach, so you'll frequently enjoy Southern California's picturesque weather.

3. Harold Washington College in Chicago: If urban landscapes are more your style, this college is located in the heart of Chicago, with views of skyscrapers and easy access to city amenities. The campus architecture is modern with considerable use of glass, giving it a distinct aesthetic appeal.

4. Collin College, Texas: This college has several campuses, many of which feature modern architecture. Their campuses have plenty of green space with trees and ponds.

5. Miami Dade College, Miami, Florida: This college's campuses feature a mixture of modern and Mediterranean architectural styles. Moreover, owing to its location, you'll be able to enjoy the impressive views that Miami has to offer.

Remember, the most significant aspect of a community college is not necessarily its aesthetic, but rather the quality of its programs and how well they can set you up for success, whether you plan to enter the workforce right away or transfer to a four-year institution. Keep these in mind alongside the campus environment as you make your decision. Good luck!
