Teaching within Oxfords stone walls dates as far back as the 11th century, and the school is considered a paradigm for all college campuses. With its labyrinth of quads, cloisters, and archways, it evokes elegance and tradition at every turn. “Its monastic roots and the spectacular quality of its buildings make it an architectural wonderland,” says David Mayernik, associate professor at Notre Dames School of Architecture.

Mike Evans, a principal at Norfolk, Virginia, design firm Hanbury Evans Wright Vlattas Company, says to be beautiful a campus must have a “signature campus space as a carrier of the campus brand”. At Kenyon College, that space is “Middle Path”, a 10-foot-wide footpath that serves as the Gothic hilltop campus central artery. More than just a trail, its a village green for the tight-knit campus community. Sergei Lobanov-Rostovsky, who teaches 17th-century poetry at Kenyon, says the college, both isolated and pastoral, is “a small place to think big thoughts.”
