8. Kenyon College

Now to the lovely town of Gambier, Ohio. Nothing much to do outside here, but the architecture lures students back into their rooms for a debate. The outstanding numbers of intellectuals encourage this frequent activity, and students arent complaining. Their fabulous, structurally sound buildings make it all worth it.

9. Scripps College

 Once again, California makes the list. Scripps has beautiful views and Princeton review christens its dorms like palaces.Its resort-like feel and sunny gardens, fountains, and trees (not to mention the food is great) make it a popular choice for women. Women have a tough decision to make here, it seems, because so many beautiful colleges are single-sex! Cant say its surprising, though. Women are cleaner.
