The University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Mānoa<\/a> has been named one of the nation’s Top 20 “primo, gorgeous” campuses<\/a> by Thrillist.com<\/a>, and number 10 out of the 50 most beautiful U.S.<\/abbr> campuses<\/a> by TheBestColleges.org.<\/p>\n

Thrillist.com describes UH<\/abbr>’s flagship campus as “truly one of those 360-degree places in Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> where you can do no wrong. On the mountain side, you’ve got some of the most lush forests abutting an urban area anywhere in the states, usually with a rainbow dawdling overhead. Look makai, you’ll see the extinct volcano Diamond Head and Waikīkī leading to the Pacific surf.”<\/p>\n

TheBestColleges.org calls the campus location “one of the most beautiful places in the United States.”<\/p>\n

UH<\/abbr> Mānoa is internationally accredited as an arboretum by Morton Arboretum’s ArbNet program<\/a>, and is designated as an official Tree Campus USA<\/abbr><\/a> by the Arbor Day Foundation. It has also been recognized as among the 35 most beautiful college campuses in America by Deseret News<\/a>, which compiled research from Thrillist, TheBestColleges.org, Forbes<\/a><\/em> and Business Insider<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Said Roxanne Adams<\/strong>, UH<\/abbr> Mānoa director of buildings and grounds management, “We are more than just a pretty place: UH<\/abbr> Mānoa is home to more than 6,000 plants representing over 700 species<\/a>, with numerous awards for our landscaping efforts from the Outdoor Circle<\/a>, Scenic Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span><\/a> and others. We love what we do and are here to serve our university.”<\/p>\n

Other public universities making the 2016 list include UC<\/abbr> Berkeley, the University of Michigan and the University of North Carolina.<\/p>\n
