Top 20 Most Beautiful College Campuses in USA 

I’m surprised university of Washington wasn’t on this list. The amazing view of the mountain and the cherry blossom trees are so beautiful on the campus!

Your choices are funny. I have visited Harvard. There is no way they are even near the top. LOL

Duke, North Carolina, Wake Forest, Washington, John’s Hopkins, Chicago, UCLA. I mean you hit on Notre Dame and a few others, but you missed some of the best in the land.

With Gothic architecture so frequently a factor in the rankings, Georgetown University in Washington, DC should undoubtedly be in the Top Twenty somewhere. Healy Hall, the main building on the Georgetown campus, is a national historic landmark. It's a striking, imposing building that sits impressively on a perch overlooking the Potomac River.

University of Georgia, Athens GA... Northwestern Univ. Beautiful...

Your pronounciation of Ithaca was fire!

Salve Regina University in Newport, RI, belongs in the top ten. The administration building, Ochre Court, is in the French renaissance style, and it is the largest building in Newport. Also, the campus sits on the ocean.

Pay a visit sometime to Univ. of Wisconsin - Eau Claire. The Chippewa River runs right through it.

There are certainly many great schools with lovely campuses that did not make the list. I would add Salve Regina Univ. in Rhode Island, UC Santa Barbara, UC Santa Cruz, Univ. of Chicago, Caltech, and MIT

Northwestern's lakeside campus should be on the list.

#20. Scripps is indeed gorgeous, but with fewer than 40 acres of real estate, it just doesn't have enough campus to make the top 20. #19 Pepperdine has incredible views of the Pacific, but the architecture is lacking. #18 Rice is a good choice at #18 #17 Cornell is actually stunning and deserves to be in the top 10 #16 Yale is fairly placed #15 Berry is also fairly placed #14 Princeton, like Cornell, is stunning and belongs in the top 10 #13 Stanford is fairly placed #12 Kenyon is fairly placed #11 Colgate is fairly placed #10 Flagler never been to it #9 Colorado-Boulder has amazing views of the Rockies, and a nice campus, but I would not put it in the top 10 #8 University of Virginia is stunning (it is the only university to be on the US National Heritage Site list) and is fairly ranked #7 Furman again, never been to it #6 Notre Dame is indeed stunning and worthy of a top 10 placement, which pains me to say since I am a Michigan alum! #5 University of Hawaii never been to Hawaii! #4 Brynn Mawr is gorgeous, but too small to make the top 10 list #3 William & Mary is stunning and worthy of its placement #2 Harvard has a beautiful campus, but it does not belong in the top 10, let alone the top 3 #1 Dartmouth, like Harvard, but #1? May other beautiful campuses were omitted from the list. Swarthmore, Wake Forest, Sewanee, Duke, Middlebury and Elon to name a few are all missing.

College of Charleston deserves to be in the top 10 it’s beautiful

Very nice Campuses... Princeton is quite an electrifying name for me, because of the Mathematics Faculty and the majestic organ in the University Chapel

At least you made it to Charlottesville, VA. Good job.

thank you

Cornell should be up there. Also William and Mary is beautiful

Dartmouth number 1? Are you blind? Looks llike half the campus is parking lot. Real beautiful!

I graduated from university of Colorado boulder...the campus was beautiful...but i was so overwhelmed by classwork homework and exam and something like that... It was only after i found I had done well in the final for the graduation that I truly realized how beautiful the campus and the surrounding nature were.

For me, it is Stanford all the way. I would have been thrilled and energized to study there. I have been on campus a few times, and it is inspiring.

Wow 🤩

thanks good video❤

Shout out Notre Dame! Good pick

Wow. Did you throw darts?Yale and Princeton are top five. Cornell is top ten. Where’s Duke.

William & Mary! Go Tribe!

Where is Duke? It should be in top 5

nice

By far the most beautiful is UCSB, located in beautiful Santa Barbara, right on the ocean with it's own point surf break, and best of all in So Ca so no snow ever

The University of Chicago should definitely be on this list. That campus is gorgeous.

I have visited many of these featured universities and many others, and I am surprised that Vanderbilt University is not on the list. The campus is an arboretum, has stunning buildings and views, and on top of all this, it is across the street from Centennial Park, which, as a nod to the many universities based in Nashville, has a full-sized replica of the Athenian Parthenon that houses a 40+ foot statue of the goddess Athena.

You’re tripping so hard for not putting WashU on there

You should try the Northwestern

The University of Oklahoma-Norman campus is absolutely gorgeous and deserves to be on the list!

University of Utah with its view of the mountains and the wonderful blend of new modern buildings like Lassonde Studios (named one of top 10 university buildings in the world by Architectural Digest)

I wish I could get admission in any one ..education is like light.

Beautiful report . However I am surprised that you did not include the Claremont Colleges Oher than Scripps College - a women's only college

Pepperdine’s ranking is well deserved. The campus is unreal.

They are all extraordinary.

cool

You missed Salve Regina University in Newport, Rhode Island. Also Westmont College in Santa Barbara.

Clearly you’ve never actually been to Ithaca New York. Cornell with it on campus waterfalls, bridges, landscapes, and beautiful campus architecture Has to be in the top five of any serious list of beautiful college campuses.

No question... Oregon State UNiversity in Corvallis, Oreogn... tops everyone

I live a mile from Rice University and go there all the time. Rice is nice but UT Austin's campus is more picturesque.

#20 is Pomona College, NOT Scripps. Surprised that University of Chicago didn't make the list.

Chicago, gerogetown, UC Berkeley must be on the list.

Just wondering why Loyola University in New Orleans is shown in the introduction but not listed in the top 20...

You are missing Indiana University in Bloomington.

Yup

cornell #1

Sure

All these are a more or less traditional campus design. But here's a vote for a breathtakingly beautiful, definitely futuristic design (and not traditional) nestled high in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado- the Air Force Academy

left out Middlebury College; or even just the Breadloaf Campus! please!

What happen to Luther College in Decorah Iowa ?

Ever Heard of SUNY BUFFALO at New York?

THANKS USEFULL INFORMATION UT TEXAS ME WONDERFUL RICE UNI?

Some selections are suspicious but acceptable. Glad you included Berry College & Kenyon! But, Hawaii & Harvard--no. Having visited Rice, the University of Richmond, Colby, Boston College, Duke, Wake Forest, Rhodes College, Yale & Washington U in StL, I don't know how they missed getting on this list. Southern Methodist?? How did you miss that?

I’m surprised the PAC-12 didn’t take 11 of the 20 spots.

Salve Regina University should absolutely be on this list, it's on every other list of beautiful college campuses! Plus, this guy needs to learn how to pronounce "Ithaca" where Cornell is.

Princeton/Stanford my favorites. Surprisingly Duke wasn’t on your list. Trouble with Cornell & Dartmouth are both in no man’s land.

To say this is subjective is the understatement of the year......

isnt pepperdine where they shot zoey101? it has to be the same campus

10:15 South Bend, Indiana

Chicago University is the most beautiful University in the us for architecture and has some of the best landscape. A real life Gotham city University

Huh?! I think this sadly incomplete list was compiled just to see how many views it would get. Also, it would be nice to see the front of at least one Princeton building -- all shots were aerial views, thus we saw only roofs which, to me, reinforces that this video was kinda slapped together with just readily/easily available footage of attractive and/or prestigious campuses. (And I certainly wouldn't say what I've said if the majority of comments agreed with your results.)

Swarthmore should be here.

University of the South in Sewanee, TN should be on this list.

what about Edgewood college?

Moravian is very nice.

What about Fordham University in the Bronx, New York? I guess you have never been there. 🧐

Clearly you've never been to The Yard of the Naval Academy in Annapolis. Talk about breathtaking!

Yale’s Beinecke Library should have been mentioned and illustrated. It is a famous example of modern architecture.

Flagler’s buildings were part of a hotel built in the 1800’s, not 1968. It became a college in 1968

Auburn and Ole Miss

I wanna keep helping y'all even

eyy I going to a top 3 campus

Duke and West Point should have made the list, certainly above UVA and Furman.

Not I knew all of them two he doesn't block us from being saved and I'm using him till we use for there even if I can get a group as saved even

I love how a british guy who has probably never set foot on any of these campuses is the one ranking

From another world

Maybe

I've been on a college tour for my child recently, all on the East coast. Princeton is quite beautiful (14th on this list). But the fact that Duke is not included on this list makes the list invalid, right away. Personally, I didn't even attend Duke but it is THE most beautiful campus I've ever seen. It's stunningly beautiful. It's landscaped and manicured like freaking Disney World. I kid you not. The gothic architecture is jaw dropping. The entire campus is intoxicatingly beautiful.

Point Loma Nazarene University.... you're welcome. :) (On the beach!!!)

Berry College, Rice University, & Furman University all stand out to me on this list. Immaculate year round. Any schools in the north or midwest tend to look like desolate depressing trash from December - May, due to harsh winter conditions. Not worth it to me. They should do a list specifically for public funded state universities & colleges. I've seen some absolutely amazing looking state schools that run circles around the old outdated looking private schools. They are newer, innovative, and cleaner looking in my opinion.

Brah... I go to Flagler... It was built in 1888 not in 1968, it turned into a college in 1968. And yes it is beautiful. Papa Henry did good.

Your missing Purdue university. Now thats a nice school. Especially the beautiful buildings

What about IU and Vanderbilt?

I don't have any idea how you get to rank these spaces.

What about Miami Oxford?

You’re missing UCLA, the most beautiful urban campus around.

BYU deserves the number one spot hands down. Im not mormon but that school is gorgeous

#1. The University Of Northwestern , #2. The University Of Chicago , #3. The University Of Michigan , #4. The University Of Stanford , #5. The University Of Yale are my top 5 favorites.

Questionable top 2. Where is Duke

I thought it was a bit odd when I went to college how they had all these big beautiful buildings yet in many cases a lot of your classes were in classrooms that weren't really any different than your high school classroom. Big beautiful campuses are nice but they're not really necessary.

Contracts for desnging everything

Bates College has one of the most beautiful campuses. It should have been part of the list .

Northwestern is #1 for me.

List of public universities for CS in Ms please inform me

Then I almost remember him like that even

The Claremont Colleges including Scripps should be on the list. And where is Duke?

I've lived in Boulder and I've lived in Princeton . Princeton is MUCH more beautiful . Go back and take a second look .

This was a very f'd up list. He would show colleges like Bryn Mawr ranked high that didn't look anything great but colleges like Pepperdine 19th which may have been the nicest. My top 3 from this video..1. Pepperdine...2. Colorado...3. Hawaii
