Haverford College
Highlights on a walking tour of this picturesque campus include Founders Hall, built in 1833 and now one of the major centers of university life; Barclay Hall, the oldest dorm on campus; Woodside Cottage, the oldest building; and the Strawbridge Observatory with its two soaring domes. One
of the best ways to experience Haverford is by exploring the 2.2-mile Nature Trail that follows the perimeter of campus and leads through the conifer collection of the college’s arboretum.
Penn State Brandywine
This branch of Penn State is a beacon of modern college architecture as well as a lovely green space. Don’t leave without taking a selfie in front of the campus’ very own Nittany Lion!
Widener University
Widener University’s campus is both picturesque and walkable, featuring a striking observatory and an art gallery. But the jewel in Widener’s crown is Taylor Arboretum in Nether Providence Township, where visitors are free to roam 30 acres of plantings and natural land.
VILLANOVA UNIVERSITY
Cabrini University
This private, Catholic university is situated on a beautiful, 112-acre wooded campus.
Its most striking historic buildings are the Mansion (built in the early 1900s) and the U-shaped Grace Hall, which was originally a stable building. Today, it houses the Cabrini Theatre as well as administrative offices.
A more recent addition is the gorgeous, glass-fronted Iadarola Center for Science, Education and Technology.
Valley Forge Military
Academy & College
The official Military College of Pennsylvania is right next door to Cabrini University,
so keep your stroll going there! Wander along the parade field, admire the historic May H. Baker Memorial Library or pay your respects to our veterans at the Battle of the Bulge Monument.
