The university is one of the oldest in South Korea and has a premium location in the capital city of Seoul, as well as a secondary campus in the city of Wonju, 90 minutes away.
Ranked as one of the most beautiful universities in the world, Kenyon College is renowned for its "Middle Path," a 10-foot-wide footpath that serves as the Gothic hilltop campus' central artery. More than just a trail, it's a village green for the tight-knit campus community.
The MSU Main building was the tallest building in the world outside of New York City at the time of its construction, and remained the tallest building in Europe until 1990.
AUC was originally located in Tahrir Square but in 2008 officially inaugurated AUC New Cairo, a new 260-acre suburban campus in New Cairo, 45 minutes away.
The actual building is closed to the general public but I believe you can still stop by and see it. It's considered the symbol of the university and was built in 1926.
The Cadet Chapel was contraversial in design but is now recognized as an iconic feature of the university and an example of modern American architecture.
Construction of All Saints Chapel began in 1904 but ran out of funds so didn't complete until 1959. The last stained glass window wasn't installed until 2004!
This library is one of the best examples of Brutalist architecture ever built, and that's not a compliment. Named after Audrey and Theodor Geisel (better known as Dr. Seuss), we think it would have been a whole lot prettier had its benefactor also been its architect.
The University, located in Dunedin, is very involved with the local community. Local bars organize events for incoming students with a range of live music and promotional deals including the Cookathon hosted by a local pub.
In the beginning of every academic year, a street parade of students, concerts, and sports events are always organized for the freshmen's reception in the college town.
The university strategically planned to engage signature architects for development over the last decade, receiving attention as one of the world's most beautiful campuses.
