Coming in at No. 2 is Berry College in Georgia, known for its English Gothic-inspired architecture and natural landscapes. The college, which boasts an impressive 27,000 acres, is the world's largest campus.
University of Notre Dame in Indiana and Florida South College in Florida also made it into the top 5. Bard College in New York and other schools round out the top 10, although the specific ranks for these institutions were not detailed in the search results.
Notable mentions just outside the top 10 include Kenyon College in Ohio (No. 12), Swarthmore College (No. 13), and Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania (No. 22).
Bryn Mawr College, an all-female school located 14 miles northwest of Philadelphia, made the list at No. 22.
