Beautiful College Campuses in the US

A campus tour starts long before the visit, and these photos are a good place to begin. Each one shows a single American college or university at its most striking: a lawn, a chapel, a tower or a library that defines the place and tells you something about daily life there. The selection favors campuses whose setting and architecture are part of the experience of studying there, from Jefferson's Lawn in Virginia to a chapel of aluminum and glass in the Colorado foothills. One photo per campus, so a college you love may show only its most famous view.
