As Penn Staters, we are lucky enough to be surrounded by beautiful architecture and landscapes every day. And although most of us are rocking long-johns, boots, and four winter jackets (except for those guys who walk around in shorts — it’s alright, we know you’re cold, you can stop pretending), we can all appreciate how incredible this campus looks both during and after a snowstorm.

Apparently BuzzFeed knows how gorgeous our school is as well, as they included Penn State in The Most Winter Wonderful College Campuses list. I’m sure Penn State’s presence on this list isn’t really a surprise to most of us, but nonetheless it’s an excellent gallery of some of the most beautiful snow-covered campuses across the country. Other schools on the list include: Cornell, Ursinus, Harvard, Yale, Boston College, and unfortunately, both Michigan and Michigan State.

Here are some of our favorite snow pictures from the past winter at Penn State, taken by our staff members:
