Fountains have served as public sculptures as far back as Ancient Greece. They are like little oases within developed areas, places to stop and reflect. Many city parks are organized around impressive fountains, and in Las Vegas the fountain has become a spectacle show of its own. Often, colleges have grand fountains at their entrances, welcoming new students and visitors to campus. Fountains have become an integral part of university architecture, and they have even found their way into strange college traditions that involve taking a (usually nude) swim in the murky water. Get to know the watery stars of university life with The Most Popular Fountains on College Campuses.
