Not sure what characterizes “luscious vibes” on a college campus, but here’s what BuzzFeed had to say about U-M, which took the No. 14 spot:
First, there’s the amazing North Quad — a hybrid dorm and academic building specifically designed for international students and intercultural programs.
One of many stately places on this sprawling campus, the university focuses on student experience and academic accomplishments. It is well known for its nice dining halls and tech-savvy classrooms. While there isn’t a standout amenity, like, a lazy river, the overall campus offers plenty of great student accommodations.
The lazy river they refer to is at the University of Missouri, which placed seventh on the list.
