Mobile, Ala.— Spring Hill College has once again been recognized by Southern Living as one of the most beautiful college campuses in the South, earning a coveted spot on the publication’s annual list for 2025. This marks multiple appearances on the list for Spring Hill, a reflection of the College’s timeless beauty and enduring Southern charm.
In its feature, Southern Living writes:
“Spring Hill College- The Avenue of the Oaks is one of the first things prospective students encounter here, and it’s also one of the last memories they’ll take with them when they leave. Each year, graduates sit among these towering trees, lined with rows of pink azaleas, as they face a commencement stage in front of Stewartfield, a white Greek Revival home used for special events. The final walk down the avenue happens when degrees are conferred. During their time at this liberal arts school (which was founded in 1830 and is the oldest Catholic college in the Southeast), they will likely frequent the Rydex Commons, a circular lawn located by the library and the exquisite St. Joseph Chapel. The landscape is further enhanced by palm trees, camellias, and oaks. In the spring, students often bring their backpacks outside and hang hammocks for study sessions or taking naps.”
