Duluth, home to campuses such as the University of Minnesota- Duluth, The College of St. Scholastica and Lake Superior College, has been named among America's 10 Most Scenic College Towns by DreamPlanGo.

Here's what it had this to say about the town:

Minnesota’s beloved North Shore city is situated on the southern tip of Lake Superior. The area is especially popular in autumn, when the shoreline is set ablaze in red, orange and golden hues. Canal Park and the famous Aerial Lift Bridge are popular attractions.

No clue what the criteria are -- or why it focused on the aerial lift bridge -- but I'll go with it.
