The “Most Beautiful Universities in the World” is a book that features more than 30 universities across the world that have magnificent architecture and graceful design. The book is full of stunning photographs of these universities, captured by Guillaume de Laubier who is a photographer specializing in interior design, architecture, and lifestyle.

We looked up a few of the featured universities and were blown away by the sheer beauty of their buildings and campuses! Here are 20 of them. Studying in a beautiful university is a very valid reason to study abroad! Just saying.
