Rhodes College is featured in a new gallery of “54 Most Beautiful College Campuses in the United States,” assembled by luxury and lifestyle travel magazine Condé Nast Traveler.
Condé Nast Traveler staff wrote in a Feb. 18 online issue, “If you're looking at undergraduate options, thinking of grad school, or just need some visual inspiration, these are the places to know about.”
This is what the staff had to say about Rhodes: “The campus always looks immaculate, in no small part thanks to the school’s heavy emphasis on community service. But another reason the campus stands out? The stone buildings that wrap around the central quad are composed of various stones in different shades of warm natural colors, making each facade appear like a mosaic baked in the Southern sun.”
Rhodes also is certified as a Level IV Arboretum, the highest designation granted by the Tennessee Urban Forestry Council, and recently two more tree species were added to campus. Read a related article about the arboretum buzz.
