Thomas Aquinas College Campus Ranked No. 6 “Most Beautiful” in U.S.

A website dedicated to college life, LuvoLearn.com, has ranked Thomas Aquinas College as No. 6 on its list of the Top 10 Most Beautiful College Campuses. “This liberal arts college is set within the charming, rural surrounds of Santa Paula, California,” writes Luvo’s Sara Gentles. “The college’s location is set away from the bustle of the city, so it truly feels like an oasis. It has gorgeous, traditional Spanish architecture, rolling hills, and extensive landscape that are truly an impressive sight.”

“We are delighted that the beauty of our campus, which our many generous benefactors have made possible, has received this recognition,” says Director of Admissions Jon Daly. “We strongly believe that when students are surrounded by beauty, they are best equipped to contemplate the true and the good, which are at the heart of our classical curriculum.”

The “most beautiful” ranking is one of several accolades Thomas Aquinas College has received in recent months. The Princeton Review named the College as one of only 20 colleges in the country on its list of “Great Financial Aid” schools, and gave it a 97 (out of a possible 99) rating for academics. U.S. News & World Report ranked the College in the top 30 among national liberal arts colleges on its 2016 Best Values list. Similarly, Kiplinger’s has rated the College at No. 22 on its list of Top 300 Best College Values of 2016 and at No. 12 among all liberal arts colleges in the United States. And USA Today has proclaimed Thomas Aquinas College one of the country’s Best 10 Colleges for the Money.
