Samford University named one of America’s most beautiful campuses

U.S. News & World Report has selected Samford University as one of its 35 Most Beautiful College Campuses in the nation.

Known for its annual Best Colleges guide, U.S. News recognized the 247-acre campus in Homewood for its Georgian-Colonial architecture, towering oak trees that line the quad and the striking bell tower that tops the Harwell Goodwin Davis Library.

“Prospective students and their families marvel at the unforgettable first impression Samford’s campus delivers. Our graduates leave with memories of inviting spaces and thoughtfully designed buildings that foster creativity and a sense of belonging.

The stewardship of our campus is one of the blessings that supports a 17-year trajectory of record enrollment, matched by all-time highs in student retention.”

President Beck A. Taylor, Samford University
