Mass. college earns spot among 30 ‘most beautiful campuses’ in US
A Massachusetts college is considered as having among the most beautiful college campuses in the country.
Last month, Travel + Leisure published a list of the 30 most beautiful college campuses in the U.S. Among them was Wellesley College .
Known as an elite all-women's college and as the host of the Boston Marathon's scream tunnel , Wellesley College's campus boasts 500 acres of beautiful scenery.
Wellesley scored high based on "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," according to Travel + Leisure.
"Several greenhouses, lush with tropical, subtropical, and desert plantings, stay green straight through the long northeastern winters," Travel + Leisure added.
Wellesley was the only Massachusetts school that made the list and was 19th out of the 30 chosen. Other Northeastern schools listed include Bard College and Cornell University in New York, Yale University in Connecticut, Princeton University in New Jersey and Swarthmore and Bryn Mawr colleges in Pennsylvania.
