I always thought my alma mater was situated in a gorgeous location, right at the base of the beautiful Wasatch Mountains.
Weber State University in Ogden, Utah

Go Wildcats!
WHAT?
What about Oxford, Cambridge, Glasgow, Edinburgh and so so many more!!! Look at the British universities which outdate all of these by many centuries and in my opinion out-rank them all but anyone would say they deserve to be on the list.
I respect your opinion, but the world is greater by far than the confines of the United States. While I agree that the universities you like have very beautiful buildings and grounds I think you need a little more exposure and variety. University of Debrecen in Hungary for instance is one of my favorites.
Thanks
I’m not a big fan of the faux baroque architecture of the University of Debrecen. I guess I am biased to British Uni’s because I am British. Still, because we have the oldest standing universities in the world I find that many others simply seem like a pale copy-cat attempt.
i completely agree. thats why im going to british uni 🙂
I agree that the schools are very beautiful, but while I agree they might be the most beautiful in America, I don’t think they are the most beautiful in the world. Britain has more beautiful schools
Bond University – Gold Coast, Australia
really? from pictures of seen, it looks kind of wierd…but I’ve never been there to be fair…in Australia the Universities of Melbourne and Sydney win hands down, especially some of the residential colleges, and old arts and old quad at melbourne!
Georgetown University
University of Western Ontario, Canada
I couldn’t find any good picture, Can you send me one?
I agree with the other comments. Americans are so stuck in their own little worlds that the most beautiful universities in the ‘whole’ world just all happen to be in the USA. Try most of the universities in Europe, especially the university of Vienna.
Indeed, University of Vienna is spectacular, but your comment is harsh. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I graduated from Yale University and have been to many European universities. I still consider Yale superior in beauty to many of the campuses I have had the pleasure to visit. Notre Dame is also one of my favorites.
Debrecen is not as beautiful as many of the universities on this list, in my opinion.
updated, now it’s 23.
I’m looking forward to comments
cum n explore india……..
bundelkhand university is the bigdaddy of thm all……..
For the American universities, I’d say Michigan State University is one of the most stunning places to be.
Kenyon College
Vassar and Colgate are quite beautiful, and many think that Colorado at Boulder is gorgeous. WSU (which you have) is also quite spectacular.
There are hundreds of beautiful campuses in Europe as well, notably Italian Universties, Spanish, German, British, French, Austrian, well, you get the picture.
I agree, I just gathered the ones I knew and the ones you guys kindly mentioned.
that’s great!!!
a) These are all american.
b) These are (generally) ugly.
c) Have you heard of:
Oxford University, ENGLAND ; Cambridge University, ENGLAND ; The Sorbonne University, FRANCE ; University of Trier, GERMANY ; Trinity College Dublin, IRELAND ; Any University that is actually more than 2 or 3 hundred years old?
a) they are not all american
b) they are not ugly
c) I study in ENGLAND and 200 or 300 years won’t make them beautiful, trust me! you british guys are over proud of your universities.
and again c) I don’t know about all the universities around the world! I update this list as others comment.
d) thanks for your comment, I appreciate it.
you listed Princeton twice…
I’ve no idea how that happened, thank you
Notre Dame is the most beautiful
Royal Holloway, University of London.
wow, that’s one beautiful university. Belongs at the top of the list in my opinion..
i´m sure you´ve never been at the UK as a student… or Europe in general.
The day you go out you´ll realize how wrong this “top2 is
i mean.. Pepperdine? Agnes Scott? ´cmon
is this a list of 5stars hotels?
…
i study at the University of Glasgow (im from Argentina) and to give you and idea it is like going to Hogwarts.
i mean seriously…
wrong, in fact I do study in UK! I’m studying in University of Surrey in Guildford. one of the best campus in UK! of course I never been in most of them, and I didn’t have a look at all the universities in the world. I just asked other people and gathered a list.
It is not anything like the best UK campus. You clearly haven’t visited many. The UK universities dominate the world top 100, it’s a fact. That’s why we’re proud of them.
well, a rather narrow minded selection I must say! I think that it is completely undebatable that Oxford and Cambridge will top any such list! But there are so many universities all over the world, but mostly in Europe, some of these aren’t even particularly nice!
Both UCLA and UPenn should have made this list.
I agree: The University of California, Los Angeles’ (UCLA) campus is absolutely gorgeous.
I used to go to Uppsala University in Sweden. It’s been around since 1477 and is the oldest university in northern Europe. It might not measure up to universities like oxford and princeton, but I definitely think it’s a lot more beautiful than many listed here.
Just wanted to show the gardens too.
Also check out Lund University, the second oldest one.

Thanks Nils, Lund University is very beautiful
If you consider Scotland part of Northern Europe, then Uppsala University is only the 3rd oldest.
I’ve heard great things about Swedish universities though, and I’d love to study at Karolinska at some point 🙂
This not a list of ancient universities dear. we collect the most beautiful ones
Why isn’t the University of California at Santa Cruz on this list? It is like living in a national park, a very beautiful national park. When I was going there I would get up in the morning and walk through fog and California oaks and redwoods and wandering deer and wild flowers to the art studios surrounded by tall redwoods. When the fog burned off I could look down the hill to the Monterey Bay. It soured me on many campuses when I went looking at possible grad schools.
I couldn’t find any good picture of it. nothing on the webstie!
can you send me some?
seriously, where’s Glasgow???
oxford and cambridge arent on here and they are crap compared the nottingham campus.
Oxford is actually.
Colgates one of the prettiest in america. and its not on here.
Clearly this list was compiled by an eejit.
most beautiful is queens university n belfast for my sister!!
Queens university mentioned before too, maybe I have to add it. got any nice picture?
Where’s the University of Chicago?
As I said in the post, I didn’t go to all these universities myself. Just what I saw in internet. just pictures.
If you think Chicago should be on the list, please send me some beautiful pictures and I put it here 😉
Hello there, I found your website via Google at the same time as searching for a comparable topic, your website got here up, it seems great. I have added to my favourites|added to bookmarks.
thanks
Queens, CANADA, The University of Sydney, AUSTRALIA, Cambridge, ENGLAND, Aarhus, DENMARK, University of Copenhagen, DENMARK.
It is pathetic how stuck in this little US-centric world you are. European Unis are beautiful. Scandinavian architecture is stunning. The quad at Sydney Uni where it is nearly always sunny is renowned for it’s brilliance. Grow up and open your eyes!
Hi Sarah, can you kindly provide some pictures?
hey take a look at bogazici university of istanbul?
looks good. I found couple of pictures but they’re all small. Do you have any?
University of California Santa Barbara
Thank you Liz. It is really a beautiful university!
University of Greenwich should be listed, it might not be one of the top 25 but it’s definitely more beautiful than at least 75% of the ones here.
I, too, was looking for a list of beautiful universities in the world, only to find a list of U.S. universities. I’ve been to several of the universities on the list. Harvard is an extremely beautiful university. The brick against the greenery is gorgeous. I fell in love with Harvard the first time I went there. Stanford, on the other hand, is far from beautiful. It has too much flat, green grass. The buildings aren’t anything special.
University of Cape Town, South Africa, the oldest and most prestigious university in Africa, nestled on the slopes of Devil’s peak (part of the Table mountain range).
university of cape town in rsa deserves to be in top 25
Definitely the University of Cape Town! I’m currently studying there and I’m in awe of the campus!
I disliked 11 out of the 20 universities. Less than 50% are good.
University of gothenburg and chalmers should also be included
That insh’itgs just what I’ve been looking for. Thanks!
I’m really loving the theme/design of your website.
Do you ever run into any browser compatibility issues? A handful of my blog readers have complained about my site not working

Do you have any solutions to help fix this problem?
