The Indiana University Bloomington campus is consistently ranked one of the most beautiful college campuses in the nation. Often these rankings attribute the campus's visual appeal to the abundance of trees, including a forest that cuts right through campus.
When temperatures drop and summer starts turning into fall, having some of the best tree coverage means that IU Bloomington also has some of the most beautiful fall foliage in the nation.
