Bennington’s campus is known for its expansive beauty, distinctive architecture, and rich history. Nestled on 440 acres at the foot of the Green Mountains, the campus was named one of the most beautiful in the country by The Princeton Review, and one of the top ten colleges with the best architecture by Architectural Digest.
