Baylor among America’s most beautiful college campuses, say three major outlets

Only one school in Texas was named among the nation’s most beautiful college campuses by U.S. News, Architectural Digest, and Condé Nast Traveler.

That school would be Baylor University.

All three publications specifically noted the unified look of Baylor’s campus, with its Georgian-style architecture and “Baylor Red” brick, as well as the intricate details found both inside and outside of buildings across the University.

Of course, if you’re reading a blog called “BaylorProud,” you’re probably not surprised. You’ve likely spent time on campus — whether on a visit, or for four years of your life — and you know full well what a treasure we have in our campus.

But… It’s also easy to take that for granted, and it’s nice to be reminded from time to time of what we get to experience here. And it’s always a plus when others take note of the many great aspects of the Baylor experience.

So the next time you’re strolling across campus, stop for a minute and take in your surroundings, and say a prayer of thanks for the beautiful campus we get to call home.

Sic ’em, Bears!
