There’s a saying that if you visit a campus in the fall, you’re sure to “fall for it.” While that may be true, the chance that you might sell your soul to a school too early shouldn’t keep you from visiting college campuses. In fact, the fall semester is the best time to visit, whether you’re a junior or senior in high school. Get in the mood for fall and the college search by visiting one of Fastweb’s top ten fall college campuses this month.

Like any list of “best colleges,” Harvard is on this one too. In the States, no region is better known for fall than the Northeast, and with Harvard’s already stunning campus, it’s a shoo in for our top ten fall campuses. About 20,000 undergraduate and graduate students sprawl the 4,979 acres in Cambridge, Massachusetts, just 12 minutes from Boston. Nestled against the Charles River, the campus boasts tree-lined squares and grassy banks, a charming New England oasis from the urban pace of Boston.
