I'm from the South and would love to stay here for college, plus I'm a bit of a sucker for a nice campus. Any suggestions for Southern colleges with especially beautiful campuses?
Absolutely! There are a number of schools in the South that are renowned for their stunning campuses. Here's a small selection:
1. University of Virginia: The overwhelmingly beautiful campus, with its Jeffersonian architecture and stunning lawns, offers a sublime environment that truly encapsulates the spirit of the South.
2. Elon University: Elon has consistently been ranked as one of the most beautiful college campuses in the U.S. With its Georgian architecture and lovely arboretum, it’s certainly worth consideration.
3. Furman University: This campus features a beautiful Asian garden, lake, and bell tower. The school's layout and natural beauty make it a standout.
4. Rice University: Rice's campus is often described as stunning. Its architectural harmony, sculptures, and beautiful green spaces make it one of the most photogenic campuses you will come across.
5. Duke University: Duke is famous for its Collegiate Gothic architecture and the Sarah P. Duke Gardens. This 55-acre public garden is located right on campus and features both wooded and formal garden areas.
6. Vanderbilt University: Vanderbilt's campus itself is designated as a national arboretum, a testament to its beautiful landscapes, trees, and plantations.
Each of these campuses has a distinct atmosphere, so I'd recommend visiting, or at the very least doing a virtual tour, to see which one captures your interest the most.
