Colleges with Most Acreage

Hello all, hope it's going well. I'm bookmarking universities for my future reference and I absolutely adore nature, sprawling landscapes, and campuses with vast open spaces. Could you all suggest which colleges have the most acreage? I'd really appreciate it.

Sure, I can provide a list of colleges with some extraordinarily large campuses. Note that many of these campuses include research facilities, agricultural lands, forests, golf courses, and other non-academic areas.

1. Berry College in Rome, GA: With around 27,000 acres, Berry College tops this list. Besides the education facilities, you'll find large forest and farmlands, and a large deer population.

2. The University of the South: Located in Sewanee, TN, this school commonly referred to as Sewanee, has around 13,000 acres of naturally beautiful land.

3. Stanford University: This university owns about 8,180 acres in Stanford, CA, making it one of the largest campuses in the U.S.

4. Michigan State University: MSU, located in East Lansing, MI, has a main campus of 5,200 acres, including farms.

5. Duke University: Duke, located in Durham, NC, operates a campus of about 8,693 acres.

10. Princeton University: Princeton may not be the largest in terms of acreage (around 600 acres), but it's worth mentioning for its beautiful campus.

Remember that while a large campus can be nice for those who enjoy open spaces and nature, there are also many factors to consider when choosing a college. You'll want to consider the academic programs, campus culture, size of the student body, location, and several other factors to find the best fit for you. Good luck with your search!
