According to Mark H. Hough college and university campuses are obsessed with mixing urban life with their traditional landscapes and how landscaping on a campus has evolved. “Colleges and universities are most students’ first homes away from home and also where students develop their opinions and perspectives on the world” said Hough. That bonding relationship creates an important reason on how more and more campuses are establishing landscaping as a profession. Throughout the United States history universities have a long tradition in American culture. And colleges and universities want to maintain that traditional feel within their campuses while constantly adapting to the new generations and ideas as they come along.
