Top Most Beautiful College Campuses, according to Forbes

There are thousands of colleges and universities throughout the United States. As college-bound students, we tend to pick one from this long list of choices based on four main key points; career in mind, academic excellence of the university, price, and the look of the campus. They are all very important, but in this post I would like to focus on the architectural part, the look of the campus. 

Forbes, one of the most known US magazines, created an article in which it gave a list of 'America's most Beautiful College Campuses'. The list contains 15 different campuses from all around the United States. I picked my two top campuses which I would love to be part of, or at least visit. 

1. University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA-

     This is certainly one of the most beautiful campuses in my opinion. The main attraction and the center point of UVA is certainly the Rotunda, which was designed by none other then Thomas Jefferson in the early 1800's. His design was influenced by the Pantheon in Rome, which was a symbol of power and wealth to the Romans. 

2. Florida Southern College, Lakeland, Fla-

    I personally like this campus a lot due to the fact that it was designed by one of the greatest architects of all times, Frank Lloyd Wright. In fact, The American Institute of Architects awarded him the title of 'The greatest American Architect of All Time' in 1991. One of the buildings that he designed in this campus was the Annie Pfeiffer Chapel. This is a one of a kind chapel completed in 1941 with a completely irregular design that is strange and incredible even by today's standards.
