If you went to college, then you know your dorm room is quite an important space. Your dorm is most likely your first time having your own space outside of your parent's house. I remember when I was looking into college, the dorms were super important to me. I wanted my dorm to be clean, not sharing a bathroom with males, and wanted it to have some sort of amenities. Luckily for me, we got a mini fridge and microwave provided by my school. But, then I started visiting friends at different schools or seeing social posts and I realized there are certainly some better looking dorms out there.
Niche gathered their list of the 2023 best college dorms in America. One North Carolina college not only made the list but came in at #3. That must mean they have some pretty amazing dorm room options for students. Can you guess what school made the list? High Point University came in at #3 for the best college dorms in America for 2023. High Point has a variety of housing options from apartment-style single rooms to double occupancy shared facilities. Not only are there many great options, but they're available to you even as a first-year student.
Niche gave High Point University a grade of A+ when it comes to their college dorms. I went ahead and took a look at some of the photos and their dorms are beautiful. I certainly could have done a little better, but hey, it's over now. Check out the full list here to see what other colleges in the Carolinas made the list.
North Carolina University Tops The List Of Most Beautiful College Campuses
There is no shortage of gorgeous college and University Campuses in the United States. Many look straight out of a movie, in fact, some have had movies filmed there. And if someone were to ask you which you think is the most beautiful you may very well be biased. I know I would be. What makes a campus pretty? Greenspace, architecture, history, and a gorgeous setting, all these are factors that impact beauty. So, bias aside which are the most stunning college campuses in the United States? Our friends over at USA By The Numbers compiled a list of what they feel fit that bill. And they included one North Carolina university as one of the most beautiful college campuses.
The North Carolina institution is the 5th ranked University on this list of most beautiful college campuses.l It's well known for its basketball team, is located in the Triangle area of North Carolina, and features a shade of blue as its color. Think you know? It's also an extremely difficult school to get accepted to, as are all of the schools on this list. It's the only one in the top 5 not in the Northeast as well. I've walked through what this author considers the most beautiful, and while yes it's pretty and charming, I'm not sure I'd put it straight to the top. You can read the full list of 17 schools USA By The Numbers included here. Or keep reading to see the top 5.
1. Harvard University
Nestled just across the river from Boston in Cambridge Massachusettes is Harvard University. I've actually been to Harvard and strolled the campus. It's well known for its historic Harvard Yard. But like every other school on this list. You won't just randomly be accepted. You have to be pretty damn smart, to get into Harvard. Although I guess you could say "what like it's hard".
Another thing that USA By The Numbers, mentioned, and that I must see, is that Annenberg Hall is the closest thing on this continent to the Hogwarts Great Hall.
2. Columbia Univeristy
New York's Columbia University takes the title of the second most beautiful college campus. Its rich history dates back prior to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. You have to be old to have that much space in New York City. The Roman architecture is picturesque, and numerous monuments grace the campus.
3. NYU
Known for its famed George Square Park, New York University, or NYU for short is located around Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village Manhattan. You may recognize images of NYU from the original Gossip Girl Series.
4. Georgetown University
You may recognize Georgetown's iconic clock tower, from this private University in Washington, DC. It's located in the quaint neighborhood of DC with the same name. I haven't ventured over to the university, but I absolutely adore the Georgetown neighborhood. It makes you forget that you're in a major city. with a quaint feel. Some of the most beautiful buildings include Gaston Hall and Dahlgren Chapel.
5. Duke University
Of course, the North Carolina University that's featured on this list is Duke University. The Durham North Carolina campus is instantly recognizable by the famed Duke Chapel. It sets the tone for this gorgeous gothic-style campus. There are also the Sarah P. Dukes Gardens. Even I who only cheers for Duke when they play one other NC school, can admit it's deserving of being on this list.
