Social media may be free, but implementing a beautiful, easy-to-use, and helpful website for your school is not. Website design is a big expenditure for most schools. That’s probably why schools let several years go by before any major redesigns are done.

For example, Trinity College has had the same website for the last 7 years. While an extreme case, there comes a time when all schools should think about the message they’re sending to applicants, alumni, and students by having an outdated website.

Wonderful Design

Not every school let’s as much time pass between website refreshes. In fact, there are dozens of school sites that feature amazing Web 2.0 technology, social media integration, and overall wonderful design. So if you’re a designer looking for inspiration, a higher ed administrator looking for help, or just someone who loves looking at beautiful websites, please enjoy (and share!) this list of the 25 Best School Websites. You’ll notice there are plenty of Boston University websites on the list. We have no affiliation with the school and are simply amazed at the amount of creative and elegant designs coming out of that school.
