Massachusetts college lands on list of America’s most beautiful college campuses
For students looking to study with a view, there are fewer options better than this school of less than 3,000 students.
Wellesley College is the 19th most beautiful college campus in America, according to a new ranking from Travel and Leisure.
Located in Wellesley, the school is a private women’s liberal arts college with 56 departments and majors available.
“Only 12 miles west of Boston, Wellesley’s 500-acre campus is another world entirely, with pathways that meander through sprawling meadows and groves of conifers that surround tranquil Lake Waban, with 19th-century brick buildings tucked into the wooded hillsides. Several greenhouses, lush with tropical, subtropical, and desert plantings, stay green straight through the long northeastern winters,” writes Travel and Leisure.
