"Some of the South’s most important intellectuals have attended this prestigious private university since its founding by the Episcopal Church in 1857. However, you don’t have to be a student to enjoy the 1,300-acre campus, known locally as “The Domain.” Here, outdoor enthusiasts can take advantage of a challenging nine-hole golf course; trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding; caves; fishing ponds; beautiful waterfalls; and overlooks with sweeping views of the valleys below the Cumberland Plateau. Also save time to check out the school’s famous Gothic architecture, which is reminiscent of English universities like Oxford and Cambridge—in fact, Sewanee honors students still uphold the British tradition of wearing academic gowns to class. When hunger strikes, head to the small downtown village, located within an easy stroll of campus and filled with pubs, restaurants, and cute shops. The fall foliage here is unrivaled in the region, so time your visit to autumn for some breathtaking scenery."

Gorgeous campus. The number of students is small but I think they can spend memorable time at the campus.

Great campus with lots of wonderful buildings. Student size seems to be small. Cafeteria is open to non-school visitors. Walking on the grounds you lose the sense of time.

This huge and extremely beautiful liberal arts college campus hosts a variety of older - styled - architecturd - buildings and dorns such as the "Uos, Sweanee, Dinning" Coffee Shop; the "Humphreys Hall" dorms; the "McClurg Dinning Hall" that has an amazing variety of food; the "Spancer Hall" containing the "Blackman Auditorium"; the library; the "All Saints' Chapel; the "Sewanee: University of the South Bookstore"; and other buildings pictured! The campus' scenery is breathtaking and a blast to visit! Also recommend going here for liberal arts majors, great programs, meal & financial plans, and work studies!

The "education" is equivalent to 9th or 10th grade curriculum in a decent large city suburb. And, the administration is more interested in advancing diversity hires than anything else.

Really amazing place. Came here to visit a great uncle who was a part of the clergy and theology studies. Churches were pristine and welcoming. The campus was not large, but had many wonderful features and seemingly nice people. A nice place to be overall.

"A Festival Service of Nine Lessons and Carols" presented annually at All Saints' Chapel every December at The University of the South, Sewanee is a lovely time to visit the University of the South campus! At this Gothic tradition, described by Jon Meacham, "...visitors come from across the South to experience classic services modeled on the choral majesty of King's College Chapel in Cambridge, England." From last year's program, "In this service we present the double meaning of the Advent season. From the West Door, the Responsory of ancient Matins on Advent Sunday announces the hope of Messiah. Then, the Choir and Chancel party will move in procession from west to east, illustrating the theme "from darkness to light." The subsequent readings and music direct attention to the coming of Messiah, and further, to the Second Coming at the End of the Age. The Christian Church lives between these two points: the first, Christmastide with the incarnation of the Son of God, and the second, His coming again to judge and to recreate His universe." At this service, All Saints is decked out with beautiful poinsettias and the Priest dispenses incense. The stained glass windows are absolutely stunning and the chapel is beautiful! Lessons and Carols annually attracts nearly 3000 people to Sewanee! 2025 will be the 66th Festival of Lessons and Carols! When I have attended tickets were free and it's really important to arrive early, as their is always a line to enter this especially beautiful chapel for this service! The Course at "Sewanee" golf course is absolutely lovely, too! It is a nine hole golf course that was redesigned in 2013. It opened for play in 1915. Thanks, Sewanee for 13,000 beautiful Tennessee acres, and the annual "A Festival Service of Nine Lessons and Carols."

Beautiful architecture of the buildings and church on this campus. I was shocked. Never heard of this place before and we came to the town for brunch at Judith for Easter. This campus and area has a lot of history dating back to the 1800s both pre and post civil war. The town also has the trail of tears historic trail running through. There are some trailheads to explore as well.

If you're in the area you should definitely visit this campus. The architecture is beautiful, the area is charming, and you must visit the Chapel! The stained glass windows throughout the main chapel and adjacent chapel are perfection. Sit down and spend sometime in prayer and reflection.

This campus is absolutely gorgeous. Taking a moment of your day to visit it is so worth it. If you like architecture. Gardens. And history. This place is beautiful. And unexpected. I enjoyed it walking the campus and enjoying the beautiful spaces.

Sewanee: The University of the South is a beautiful place and I really enjoy visiting here just to enjoy the scenery along with attending events ranging from music to athletics etc. I had several friends that attended this fine university and I also got to play for the Sewanee rugby team on a few occasions but then again I got to play for the rugby teams of a whole lot of schools back in the day when such things were not so controlled as they are now. I went to Ole Miss (back when it was Ole Miss) and a guy from the Ole Miss rugby team helped start Sewanee's rugby team back in the day so there is a connection between Ole Miss and Sewanee's rugby team going back to that point. This is a very special and unique place with exceptional traditions and they certainly know how to study hard along with having a really fun time.

This is a Collage Cafeteria open to everyone. Located next to the church , a must see also. Very impressive building very large, and busy . Food is laid out in stations, omelets any way you like them , lunch meats, salads, desert main course varies. So much food you will find something you will like. Very low cost breakfast $6 lunch $8 dinner $10. The food is out all the time from 7:30 AM to 7.PM Great time to go is spring when the flowers and dogwood are in bloom. Located half way between Nashville and Chattanooga
