Fun fact: WashU has hosted more presidential and vice-presidential debates than any other institution in US history, including the first televised three-person debate among President George H. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Ross Perot.

—BuzzFeed

Buzzfeed recently published a list naming the most beautiful college campus in every state. There were no clues to the methodology behind the 50 picks, but we can’t argue with the ‘winner’ for Missouri: Washington University. Olin Business School occupies four buildings right in the center of the Danforth Campus – prime real estate on the most beautiful college grounds around.

We sent our video intern, Ricardo Solis, out on his skateboard to capture some of the beauty that surrounds us here this summer. Foliage and flowers are in full bloom and the grass is so green. Enjoy the ride and thanks to Ricardo for sharing his skills on wheels, camera in hand.

No GoPro was used in the making of this video!
