The Most Underrated College Towns Across America, From A to Z

35. Sewanee, Tennessee: The Domain of Discovery

Sewanee: The University of the South boasts one of America's most unique campus settings – "The Domain," a breathtaking 13,000-acre forested property atop the Cumberland Plateau. Gothic-style stone buildings, including the magnificent All Saints' Chapel, emerge from the wilderness, creating an almost mystical atmosphere. With extensive hiking trails, caves, waterfalls, and stunning overlooks, nature is an integral part of life here. This town (which is essentially the campus and its surroundings) offers a profound sense of place, tradition, and scholarly retreat.
