Troy University is a small school that is located an hour away from the nearest Target, but it makes up for that with its breathtaking architecture and landscaping. While there's not always a lot to do in Troy, you can't deny that it truly is a beautiful place to learn.
11. Trojan Arena
I'm just saying... our sporting arena is actually pretty stunning.
10. Veteran's Memorial Stadium
While most people probably wouldn't think a football stadium would make the list, those people definitely haven't experienced a Troy football game at sunset.
9. SAGA
What SAGA lacks in taste, it makes up for in design. While I'm definitely not a fan of SAGA food, I have to admit, this building is pretty beautiful.
8. SAGA Patio
While this is technically still SAGA, the patio and balcony area is definitely on a whole different level from the interior.
7. John Maloy Long Hall
While this building is gorgeous on the outside, the real beauty lies within. Seriously... if you've ever walked through Long, you know that it's probably the prettiest building on campus. As an added bonus, it's filled with beautiful music, since it's the music and dance building. Whenever I walk through Long, I feel like I'm in Fame.
6. The Bookstore Patio
Whoever designed Barnes and Noble at Troy University did it right... I'm serious, this patio is a much more aesthetically pleasing place to study than the library (which is definitely not on this list).
5. Sorrell Chapel
This hidden gem is tucked away from the rest of the campus behind Janice Hawkins Park. It's super beautiful with its stain glass windows and romantic architecture.
4. New Hall
If you live in New Hall, I'm jealous. Honestly, with rooms overlooking Janice Hawkins Park, you have it made. It's also just a stunning building.
3. The New Hall Archway
I know I already have New Hall on the list, but standing in the archway is a completely different experience. Doesn't it just look magical?
2. Janice Hawkins Park
If you want to spend a little time in nature without actually roughing it and pitching a tent, eno-ing at Janice Hawkins Park is the way to go. It's so pretty. Just look at this picture.
1. The Quad
If you're a Troy University student, you can't tell me that you don't fight the urge to put the quad on your Snapchat story every single day. I'm going into my senior year and I still am amazed by how absolutely stunningly beautiful the quad is. With a view like this every single morning, I feel (almost) energized enough for an 8 AM.
If these pictures weren't proof enough that Troy University is ridiculously gorgeous, I suggest you head on over here and check it out for yourself.
