O.T. Name a University bordered by....

[nwhoopfan]

Can't believe I didn't think of this sooner. Gonzaga is on the Spokane River. Washington St. has a branch campus on the opposite bank almost directly across. I haven't been on campus, but the river runs right through downtown Spokane and there is a cool park with a river walk that I have been to.

Okay, I hinted at it but you started it officially. Univ. of Washington on Lake Washington. Husky Stadium is often at or near the top of lists for best settings for a football stadium in CFB.

Clemson University , Lake Hartwell (a man-made-lake).

Syracuse University, Lake Ontario and Oneida Lake.

Do branch campuses count? We have UConn-Avery Point!

I have been at least 2, you can walk from the classroom to the beach.
Old Dominion University and UC San Diego.

The University of Cairo......Nile River..............The Sorbonne....The Sienne

Clemson University , Lake Hartwell (a man-made-lake).

Syracuse University, Lake Ontario and Oneida Lake.

Lake Ontario is about 60 miles from SU. Oneida Lake is about 20.

Onondaga Lake can at least be seen from a few places on campus but is still maybe 3 miles from campus. The SU crew boathouse is on the Seneca River, which is fed in part by Onondaga Lake.

LSU--Mississippi River

 

[msf22b]

PDQ's Bach infamous
University of Southern North Dakota at Hoople
on the North Branch Park River (its real, the town and river, that is)

PDQ's fictitious "home establishment", where he reports having tenure as "Very Full Professor Peter Schickele" of "musicolology" and "musical pathology", described as "a little-known institution which does not normally welcome out-of-state visitors".

Bucknell University - Susquehanna River

UConn ... Mirror Lake. Can’t believe it went this far without mention.

I've been to Pepperdine, can confirm it is immediately proximate to the beach. I think UCSB is pretty famous for being on the beach as well.

Colleges along lake:
Wellesley College , Lake Waban, one of the prettiest college I have seen.

Cornell University , Cayuga Lake.

University of Notre Dame, St. Joseph’s Lake and St. Mary’s Lake.

University of Wisconsin-Madison, Lake Mendota and Lake Monona.

Cornell is close to Cayuga Lake, but not on it. Practically the whole downtown area of Ithaca is between them. It is, however, right next to Ithaca Falls, which should count as a
River. The gorge runs right through the campus.

UMass Lowell Merrimack River

Georgetown U, George Washington U, American U - Potomac river

West Virginia University is bordered to the south by the Monongahela River.

Speaking of UConn, how about the Fenton River?

Some intermountain west schools: BYU - Provo River; UT State - Logan River; Fort Lewis College - Animas River; Adams State - Rio Grande River; U of MT - Clark Fork River; WA State - Palouse River; Boise State - Boise River; U of ID - Snake River; AZ State - Salt River; OR State - Marys River; U of OR - Willamette River

You brought it up!!

The University of California- Santa Barbara is literally right next to the beach overlooking the Pacific Ocean. It is one of the world's most beautiful university campuses!!! Stunning!

Pitt and Duquesne...3 rivers....

Pepperdine in Malibu. Gorgeous view of the Pacific

 

[Steelerone]

Purdue - Wabash

Duquesne - Monongahela

Purdue, I believe the Mon runs on the South Side. The Allegheny runs on the North before forming the Ohio. It's been a few years so I might be wrong but the Parkway ran alongside the Gany.

 

[ochoopsfan]

UCSD in La Jolla, just down the road from Torrey Pines Golf Course

 

[ed4ourgirls]

If "close" counts, then Wesleyan is four or five blocks from the Connecticut River.

You are correct about the Mon being on the South Side and the Allegheny running to the North by the stadiums and what used to be the Clark Bar factory.

Duquesne overlooks the South Side and the Blvd of the Allies (and the Parkway heading East), so as you stand along The Bluff you're overlooking the Mon and the Liberty Bridge. And you get frostbite in about 3 minutes if it's January and windy!
