3. Shoe Tree, Murray, KY, Murray State University
Image
Just a small distance from Pogue Library, the Shoe Tree sits in the sun with at least 50 pairs of mismatched shoes attached to it. No one in MSU has any idea when the Shoe Tree began but that has not hindered them from honoring the tradition. It is believed that if two students meet at Murray State, fall in love and then marry, they will have good luck only if they both nail a shoe to the Shoe Tree. Lovers make it a habit to write their anniversaries in their shoes as well. It is also common for people to return to nail a baby's shoe to show that they have started a family. Today's Shoe Tree is the second after the first was hit by lightning and subsequently caught fire.

Don't do this too hastily, though, as legend states that a first kiss on Willow Walk destines you to marry that person.

7. Rock Arch, Bryn Mawr, PA, Bryn Mawr College
Image

There is a common saying that, if it happens twice at Bryn Mawr, it's a tradition. The college alums can attest to this. There are many traditions that the school still respects to date. The Moon Bench for instance is at the end of senior row. As the story goes, if sweethearts sit together on this bench they will eventually break up. Since 1989 the legend has eased up to the norm that you can't kiss someone while seated on the bench. The converse of that spot is the Rock Arch, under which you can kiss and ensure a lasting

8. Campaniling, Ames, IA, Iowa State University
Image
Way back in 1960 an ISU school paper wrote that a girl wasn't really an Iowa State coed until she had been kissed under the campanile just as the bells tolled midnight. This practice of midnight smooching in Iowa is known as "Campaniling." One can get in on the Cyclone rite of passage during homecoming or Veishea by participating in mass Campaniling, which makes hundreds of Iowa Staters flock the central campus for midnight fireworks and kisses. As much as Mass Campaniling is fun to engage in, the real tradition lies in you and your sweetheart sneaking away to central campus and stealing kisses from each other as the bells strike mid

9. Tower Bell, Wheaton, IL, Wheaton University
Image

In 1898 and 1918 ringing of the Tower Bell represented serious matters such as calling students to prayer and announcing the beginning of the Spanish-American war. Thereafter the mood of the bell lightened to that of announcing marriages and most recently, engagements. The past few decades, newly affianced couples go up the Tower to ring the bell as an announcement of their engagement. Couples leave pictures that are kept in the Tower memory book, and have their names registered in the "Up the Tower" list that is printed in the student newspaper. The school's alumni always come back to commemorate their wedding anniversaries; ringing the bell and finding their names on the wall. The tradition states that couples ring the bell in three sets of seven for engagements and seven sets of three for weddings.

The Wishing Steps house a tradition in Cedar Crest College that dates back 50 years. The Wishing Steps are located behind the Alumnae Hall and run down the woods to Cedar Crest Park. The Muhlenberg men used to take Cedar Crest women and walk them up the stairs. Upon reaching the top, the couple will make a wish, which allegedly will be fulfilled provided they both took the same number of steps. For obvious reasons, the steps are also known as Proposal Park. Most women who were in Cedar Crest College have fond memories of the Park.

The tower represents a number of traditions, the most common one being kissing either in the tower's shadow during the day or at midnight in the Beaumont courtyard, to prove that one is a "true Spartan".

12. Full Moon on the Quad, Stanford, CA, Stanford University
Image
This tradition is believed to have begun way back in the 1800s, when senior men would present freshmen women with a red rose and give them a peck on the cheek. The tradition disappeared for a long time before it was resurrected in 1980 and since then has turned into a less formal ritual where alcohol is often involved. If you are lonely and not a werewolf, then join this full moon tradition and have a great time.

13. Widener Library Stack Smooching, Cambridge, MA, Harvard University
Image
As part of the college ritual of taking your sweetheart somewhere less conspicuous for a secret rendezvous, be it kissing, making out, or something more, the school's Widener Library is the perfect spot. It's actually thought to be a rite of passage for undergraduate students. Though few students have managed to pull this one off to success, there are dark and hardly used sections of the library that could serve as the perfect romantic spot to go with your significant other if you are a Harvard student provided the books do not bother you and you are unmoved by the danger of being caught.
