Indiana University
(not the University of Indiana!)
Considered by the New York Times as the most beautiful campus in the world, It's campus is what a college is supposed to resemble. It's buildings are all (but one) Indiana Limestone, the same stuff that went into the Empire State Bldg., Pentagon, most of Washington etc.
The Sample Gates, serve as a welcoming entryway for students into Indiana’s beautiful 1,860-acre campus. The gates, constructed of Indiana limestone, mark the entrance to the Old Crescent, the site of IU's historic campus buildings built between 1884 and 1908.

The 500,000-square-foot Indiana Memorial Union is the campus centerpiece - a place where students go to study, relax, eat, bowl, watch a movie, and even to shop. It is one of the world's largest college unions. It also has a hotel, but don't try to get in it during a football weekend.
The Rose Well House, an open-air pavilion in the heart of campus, covers the original well for IU and was a gift from Theodore F. Rose in 1908. Tradition holds that a female student is not officially a co-ed until she has been kissed beneath its dome at midnight.
Through good and bad thick and thin, IU football fans come to tailgate mainly from Indianapolis, 55 miles to the north, or closer-in from surrounding communities. There are however, many that travel from a few hours south on the Ohio River ala Louisville, Tell City or Evansville (you can't get there from here). Many come from the Chicago area almost four hours north and some even treck in regularly from Traverse City, Michigan which must take at least 10 hours.
