Sewanee: The University of the South

When you pass through the gates of our campus, something happens. Because it's not a campus. Not exactly. It's so much more than a campus that we had to come up with new words for it. The University of the South otherwise known as Sewanee is consistently ranked in the top 50 Liberal Art Colleges & Universities from U.S. News & World Report, Sewanee was also on the separate list of “High School Counselors Top Picks” (four years in a row!) and the “Best Value Schools” list. Sewanee also ranked 2nd in Tennessee in "Best Colleges for your Money" by Money Magazine.
