13. Widener Library Stack Smooching, Cambridge, MA, Harvard University



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.

11. Beaumont Tower Kiss, East Lansing, MI, Michigan State University



Completed in 1928, the Beaumont Tower has served so many purposes and was the first building to be constructed at MSU. It was also the first building in America to be used for scientific agriculture. 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”. It's thought that a Spartan is fated to marry a sweetheart if they kiss under the Beaumont Tower.

9. Tower Bell, Wheaton, IL, Wheaton University



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.
