The University of Notre Dame, located just north of South Bend, was ranked the third most beautiful campus on their list. According to the private Catholic university, for 2025 they had 8,923 undergraduate students and 4,206 graduate/professional students.
“It’s hard to miss the glistening golden dome of Notre Dame’s Main Building, not to mention the Gothic Revival Basilica of the Sacred Heart that defines this Catholic school founded in 1842,” the magazine says. “Besides gorgeous architecture, the campus is chock-full of lush quads, where students congregate to kick back when they’re not in class or at the football stadium.”
