<p>The</a> 20 Ugliest College Campuses in the USA - A List of all Ugly Colleges</p>
<p>He seems to be picking certain comments and sticking with them. When I saw a picture of CMU or UMassAmherst, they looked really nice. I don't see any reason why he would rank them in the top 5 ugliest campuses. UCSD certainly doesn't have consistency with its campus, but I think its really nice (or at least parts of it). Just another BS report I guess (although Drexel does look really ugly from that photo)</p>
<p>He obviously hasn't been to Harvey Mudd.. And it seems as if he doesn't even know that Harvey Mudd and Pitzer are right next to each other.</p>
<p>Yes he does. He mentions them both as being part of the Claremont Colleges.</p>
<p>In fairness, no one in Claremont is really bragging about Mudd's buildings (although at least the campus is very aesthetically consistent), but the school did just win a pretty big landscaping award. I don't recall the details, but it was notable!</p>
<p>aww thats depressing...hes lame!</p>
<p>i think ucsd's campus is really nice</p>
<p>I agreed with UCSD at #13 because .... cmon.....</p>
<p>take a look at 6th college... its junk... </p>
<p>The dorm buildings of Revelle and Muir are nothing worth bragging about ....They have to fix that! Then you have Marshall average at best... </p>
<p>Revelle Fleets are pretty depressing. The Applied Physics & Math building in Muir is also old... </p>
<p>Most of UCSD is really old compared to other UC campuses like UCLA, Davis, and Santa Cruz despite being 47 years...</p>
<p>"Its too high tech for my taste; too much glass, not enough personality. You may differ, but Im the one making the list."</p>
<p>I'm glad he continuously points out that these are HIS opinions. I personally think our campus is something special...and with the Price Center expansion construction almost coming to a close, it's one more thing to look at!</p>
<p>at least ucsd has a real (and safe!) campus. i graduated and moved to an ivy league school that spans just eight measly city blocks and feel like a caged animal.</p>
<p>from i sawu, umd-cp and ucsd were pretty awesome.....</p>
<p>his title should add the line, "ugliest well known/prestigious colleges."</p>
<p>I came from UCLA, land of the red brick, and I have to say that, well...</p>
<p>I don't really like UCSD's campus. Sorry guys. My two years here haven't been spent admiring the architecture.</p>
<p>Honestly, I'd have to agree with those rankings. Maybe not #13, but definitely could be better. </p>
<p>I just toured UCSD & UCLA this past summer and all I can say is that the SD campus struck me as the #1 detriment. It's a great school and I'd love to go here but it's just not that attractive</p>
<p>I think the AP&M and Bio buildings are awesome looking. Also, the engineering quad is pretty slick. Maybe i lack a sense of style, but there are definitely some buildings that need work, especially in Revelle.</p>
<p>Yes, because we all know that people go to college to look at the buildings.</p>
<p>TienIsCoolX,</p>
<p>They don't, but let's be fair here: aesthetics matter, no matter what we say. All else equal, why wouldn't you choose the better looking campus to spend 4 years of your life at?</p>

<p>One of my professors might have told me about this. I think we are only finalists for some environmentally friendly thing? I wasn't really paying attention. He did say that the humanities department kind of bsed the whole thing and were totally shocked when they got word that we were finalists.</p>
<p>Anyway, Mudd isn't that ugly. Neither is Pitzer. We're just held to higher standards since we are right next to Pomona and Scripps; people think we are supposed to be beautiful like them.</p>
<p>Also, the author seems full of crap. The futuristic buildings he showed were actually mostly pretty cool. The comment about them having bad architects is ridiculous because anyone knows it's a lot harder to design buildings that are as abnormal as those.</p>
<p>atomic: Probably true...thanks for the clarification. I know that Pomona received or is a finalist for the same award.</p>
