Which colleges have the most scenic campuses in the US?

Hello everyone, I've been wondering about something. Which colleges have the most scenic campuses in the US? I'm a nature lover and prefer a campus filled with greenery, natural landscapes, etc. It would be great if students or alumni could share their experiences. Thank you in advance.

To your question, there's certainly no shortage of colleges with beautiful campuses across the United States. Appearance may be subjective, but there are definitely campuses that are renowned for their natural beauty and inviting aesthetic. Here are a few that come to mind:

1. Stanford University in California is well-known for its beautiful palm-tree lined streets and its combination of Spanish-architecture-inspired buildings with a sunny California vibe. It's a sprawling campus with a large central quadrangle, bike-friendly paths, and plenty of outdoor green spaces near the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains.

2. Dartmouth College in New Hampshire has a picturesque New England-style campus close to the Connecticut River and the White and Green mountains. Beautiful in all four seasons, it's perfect for those who love skiing, hiking, and the outdoors.

3. Middlebury College in Vermont is nestled in the heart of the Green Mountains with architectural gems, landscaped grounds, as well as access to ski slopes and hiking trails, making it one to consider for nature enthusiasts.

4. The University of Colorado Boulder has a stunning setting with panoramic views of the Rocky Mountains. In addition to its greenery-rich campus, Boulder offers a range of outdoor recreation options such as hiking, biking, and rock climbing.

5. Pomona College in California boasts of a campus that's beautifully landscaped with Mediterranean-style buildings, tropical plants, and plenty of greenery. The campus scenery also includes a view of the San Gabriel Mountains.

Remember, though, that while a scenic campus can enhance the college experience, you also want to consider factors like academic majors, extracurricular opportunities, campus culture, and financial aid when assessing which schools could be a good fit for you. Visiting campuses, if possible, or virtual tours can also provide valuable insights into campus environments.
