"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.

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.

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!

Easily one of the most beautiful campuses I’ve ever visited. I lost track of how many times I said wow. Stunning.

If you're looking for a good, known, and downright stellar looking campus: this may be the school for you. I was only a prospective student,but fell in love with the campus. There were professors and students that genuinely seemed to want me there and for me to succeed. A few even want to keep in contact with me, knowing I'll be attending a different school. My admissions counselor, Faith, was and is the best counselor I have ever spoken to. She's to the point but is genuinely the nicest woman ever. When I had my in person interview with her, we talked for much longer than planned, just about anything that came up. Why did I not decide to go if I had such a good experience? Personally, I felt that a school far from civilization (45 minutes avg to Chattanooga) was a bit of an issue, but I also will say...it felt very white and preppy. Now, I say this as someone who looks white (I'm actually the color of milk). It gave the vibe of a prestigious prep school. But, I think if you're in love with the college it will be something you can look past unless you're looking for a safe haven from very white people. Their dining hall was actually very good as well! I recommend as someone with Gluten allergies, but if you're vegan...there's not that many options, especially at breakfast. As with all colleges, take your experience with a grain of salt! Colleges are not perfect, so even if you're head over heels, make sure to do your research on what's important. (whether that be the fact that there's no Chik-Fil-A, or deeper issues.) Good luck!

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
