As a boarding student at Oldfields, I spend most of my time on campus. This means that I get to see a lot of beautiful views as the weather changes around here. Oldfields has some of the best sunsets I have ever seen (they are definitely Instagram-worthy!). That is why today I wanted to share with you what I believe are the top five prettiest views of campus.

A lot of our riders love to take photos as they make their way to and from the barn. The views that they see while they ride are breathtaking. I would bet that the horses love their views throughout the day, too!
The fall seasons at Oldfields are filled with many shades of orange, red, and brown. The students love spending time carving pumpkins and putting up spooky decorations for everyone to enjoy. Our riders enjoy nice walks around campus with their horses, and when Halloween comes, they even dress them up in their own costumes!
4. Old House
Old House is the original building on campus when the school was founded in 1867. It continues to be the heart of our campus today. Many students love to enjoy the amazing sunsets that can be seen from the top of the steps before entering the theater.
3. The Athletic Fields
The athletic fields are used for many things. A lot of students use them for practices or games with their sports team, or for Spirit Games like capture the flag or kickball. But during the weekend, the most popular activity to do at night is to stargaze from this area of campus. Bring a blanket when you join us on campus so that you can spread out to enjoy the natural light show happening around us! This is truly something one-of-a-kind that you cannot find living in the city!
2. Commons Lawn
The lawn outside of Commons has been a go-to place for many events, activities, picnics, bonfires, and gatherings. Everyone loves to sit down by the shade of the trees and admire the colorful leaves in the fall and the budding blossoms in the spring. Some of Oldfields oldest traditions such as Garden Party and Graduation Banquet are held on the Commons Lawn.
