Hey everyone, I'm a high school junior curious about campuses. Do you guys know which U.S. colleges have the most land?
Sure thing! Here are some U.S. colleges known for their expansive campuses:
1. Berry College in Georgia claims to have the world's largest contiguous campus, with 27,000 acres of land. It includes forests, fields, and even a dairy farm.
2. Texas A&M University also has a big campus, covering more than 5,200 acres. This does not even include their various research and extension centers over Texas.
3. Stanford University in California spans approximately 8,180 acres, most of which is undeveloped and boasts an array of natural habitats.
4. The United States Air Force Academy in Colorado springs occupies a notable 18,500 acres.
5. Cornell University in New York has a fairly large campus of around 2,500 acres.
Do keep in mind that a large campus doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll use or even see all the space during your college career. Depending on the activities you're interested in and your personal preference, though, such a spacious setting might be just what you're looking for!
