I live within ten miles of two colleges and one state university. If I had to pick the "prettiest" campus it would be Grove City College. Here's a small sample with photos taken over a couple of years.

Yes, it has a very interesting history: it's a debt free small private Christian college that does not take one single penny of tax payers dollars. Student loans are financed though the college or PNC bank with no governmental influence. There is a state university less than four miles distance and it's interesting to observe the differences between the two institutions.
Thanks for taking an interest in this subject.

Amazing campus. I enjoyed the statue of Mr Pew on the bench. May I offer a mild critique?
For photographs of buildings, I often use a 24mm Tilt Shift Lens. This lens corrects for parallax. Because of the mechanism, it bends light so buildings don't look as if they are falling backwards. Before you buy one, try renting one so you get familiar with the lens mechanism.
Happy Shooting!

Thank you for the advice. Not being an architectural photographer I sometimes deliberately distort buildings and other items just for the heck of it.

That's okay. I have used that type of lens to photograph my friend's model trains. They photographed life like.
This type of lens is usually a wide angle with a manual f/stop. It works okay on my digital SLR. Since it bends on several axis it can do so interesting distortions not just architecturally.

In any case.....it sounds like fun. When my money boat arrives maybe I'll give it a try.

Very nice! A young lady from our church moved into the dorm at GC to begin her freshman year yesterday. Apart from being a beautiful location it is an excellent school.

She couldn't have chosen a better school. Along with it being a beautiful campus it has to be a comfort to her parents knowing that it's a safe environment.

Quite right, plus, her dad teaches an evening course so he'll be able to keep tabs on her.

Grove City Collage refuses to take State aid and yet they have a wonderful looking campus. My son went to Allegheny Collage, a little bit further up I79 and in between is Grove City Mall. Nice photo's.

Not taking state aid is no accident....the school wants to maintain total independence hence not one single student has any type of federal aid package. Everything is privately funded. You're right, it is a beautiful campus. .
By the way......I live 7 miles from GCC, 3 miles from Slippery Rock University, the Mall is 4 miles up the road and now we have a hundred acre wild animal preserve next door.
