Top 10 Most Beautiful Uni Campuses In Australia
Honestly, the 1st rank was very competitive and very hard to decide.
10. Monash University
It’s the biggest university in Australia and is spread out throughout Melbourne and their Clayton campus is so big it has its own postcode! Monash’s campus’s highlight has to be its modern architecture, they even have a place called “The Cave” that has a 3D printed 360-degree wall, what?!
9. University Of Wollongong
This campus is so picturesque because of how its surrounded by stunning forest-covered mountains and crystal blue Pacific. To contrast the ancient trees and fauna the architecture of the University of Wollongong architecture are modern and an absolute treat for the eyes!
8. University of New England
Rural NSW campus that’s seriously underrated, it’s filled with rivers, waterfalls and is literally in the middle of a heritage parkland. It also has some smashing residential colleges attracting almost 50% of the student body to live on campus + very impressive sports facilities.
7. University Of New South Wales
UNSW has one of the most beautiful quadrangles and has some of the best modern architecture on their campus, not a single building looks boring. Plus, its location is bloody good too! It’s super close to the Sydney business centre and Coogee and Bondi beach.
6. University of Western Australia
University of Western Australia’s campus is definitely a love child of concrete jungles and a tropical forest. There are walkways the have lush greenery on both sides of the pathway, has an outdoor auditorium that legit has a backdrop of pine trees.. Additionally, UWA’s buildings have also won awards for how gorgeous they are. Need we say more?
5. University of Adelaide
Gothic revival style is what Adelaide’s campus can best be described as, it’s one of the oldest unis in Australia so it has buildings built-in 1874 so best believe it has all that gothic gargoyle glory going for it. Also, the University of Adelaide has the largest library in the southern hemisphere - The Barr Smith Library.
4. University of Tasmania
I mean it’s Tasi, mother nature’s favourite child. The University of Tasmania has 3 campuses and not a single one disappoints. The campuses are perfectly located that beaches, rivers and mountains are a stone throw away.
3. University Of Melbourne
I know every unimelb student is going to be ready to throw hands with me University of Melbourne ranking 3rd with a campus as beautiful as this one. The campus is a perfect harmony of old and new, it has stunning sandstone structures and contemporary architecture too!
2. University of Queensland
Honestly, just the purple trees would make this campus worth being on top of this list but the University of Queensland has much more that is a feast for the eyes. They have 3 lakes, sandstone structures that has such a dark academia aesthetic, absolutely perfect. Also, eight athletics ovals with a 600-seat grandstand, and an aquatic centre. Jeez!
1. University of Sydney
Ah, #1 on the list is the grand old University of Sydney. There’s a reason the University Of Sydney often is considered a must-visit when touring the city, it’s one of the most beautiful campuses in the world. Traditional English collegiate architecture made with Sydney sandstone - the result is Neo-gothic goodness.
