Top 10 Most Beautiful College Campuses in the U.S. #1: Stanford University: "The entryway to Stanford's 8,180-acre campus is arguably the grandest of any beautiful college campus: A mile-long, tree-lined Palm Drive leads up to the expansive green oval Main Quad, surrounded by red-roofed buildings and the campus's crown architectural jewel, Memorial Church, with its striking mosaic façade. Beauty continues at the Cantor Arts Center's collection of 170 bronzes by Auguste Rodin, one of the largest beyond Paris. The view of campus — and all the way to San Francisco on a clear day — is best captured from the Hoover Tower observation platform," Travel & Leisure Magazine said.
