We know there’s more to our campus than being really, really, ridiculously good looking — and we certainly have the rankings to back it up — but it always makes us smile when others give a nod to our beautiful university. 

TheTravel.com just ranked us No. 10 on its list of America’s prettiest college campuses, calling out Cannon Memorial Chapel, Ryland Hall, and North Court as being on the National Register of Historic Places.

“This private liberal arts school sits on 350 acres and features gothic architecture and open lawns,” according to the site. “Surrounding the campus, there are trees, hills, and water that add to the attractiveness of the place.”

We can’t help but agree — we’ve always felt like there’s just something about the beauty of this place that makes us stand up a little taller and work a little harder!
