The Auburn University campus has been named one of the country’s 10 most beautiful by Profascinate, a blog that seeks to turn Internet-induced procrastination into a learning opportunity.

“All college campuses are unique and beautiful in their own way, but we just can’t get over how gorgeous and spectacular these ones are,” the folks at Profascinate said in a post describing their latest list. “Auburn made waves this year with an incredible season from their football team. Their athletics aren’t the only thing going for them, as they have one of the most beautiful campuses in America.”

Auburn came in at number 7 on this year’s list.

Here’s the complete top 10:

10. Arizona State University
9. University of Central Florida
8. University of Missouri
7. Auburn University
6. University of Miami
5. Penn State University
4. Ohio State University
3. University of Houston
2. University of San Francisco
1. University of San Diego

The Flickr community has an endless amount of photos that show off the Auburn campus. A few of them can be seen below.
