Best looking college campus

<p>I don't like Spanish architecture, so Stanford is out. Notre Dame has great lawns and landscaping, but the buildings are yellowish brick which I don't like all that much. U Chicago's buildings are really nice, but I also like the classical-esque architecture of Columbia (it's a lot lighter and brighter than gothic and friendlier than brick).</p>

<p>Out of all the schools I've visited, I'd have to say that UCLA has the best looking college campus. (I've only visited Cal Poly SLO, Arizona State, UCLA, and the local UNLV=Las Vegas). Walking around UCLA felt like a completely different world from the city of LA that surrounds it. On another note, UNLV is like its own paradise within Las Vegas. There are sooo many trees and a lot of grass. It seems impossible that it exists in the middle of the desert.</p>

<p>i must vote for my school, W&M =P</p>

<p>According to princetonreview.com Pepperdine University rates #1 as the most beautiful campus... go figure</p>

<p>Pepperdine doesn't even feel like college, feels more like a Hawaiian getaway with a Vacation Bible School attached to the side. Just going through the dorms, I felt like sitting down and asking for glass of lemonade. It was just too beautiful for me to take seriously for 4 years, just didn't feel like college to me.</p>

<p>I agree with Tigers Rule~United States Naval Academy, Annapolis. Just remember, when the movie comes out later this month, that it was NOT filmed at USNA. :)</p>

<p>The Naval Academy is not good looking at all. Yes, some of the buildings are great, but take a look at the field in the center of campus, there are 6 huge air conditioning unitsthat sit almost right in the middle with pipes that extend all over the field. I mean, if you consider how LOUD these things are, you definitely cannot consider the Naval Academy good looking. I agree that the surrounding town of Annapolis is simply amazing, but due to the huge amount of construction on about half of the buildings, the areas on campus that are "Hard Hat Only" areas, and the awkward placement of industrial airconditioning units, I would have to strongly disagree with momof1.</p>

<p>Stanford is my favorite. The campus is so nice. I wish I could go there.</p>

<p>University of Virginia, University of Richmond, and Wake Forest win in my book.</p>

<p>Stanford and Pepperdine are good nominations but not the winner.</p>

<p>Definatley the University of California at Santa Barbara. Two miles of its own beach, palm trees, mountains, and 80 degrees and sunny every day!</p>

<p>The lagoon on campus was used for rowing competition for the LA Olympics and miles and miles of walking and biking trails. The lifestyle cannot be beaten!</p>

<p>Just look at this picture.

<p>I agree with most of u that Stanford is breathtaking...but UC Davis...god! Not in my good books...
Wht about Bowdoin ??HEAR it's real preety</p>

<p>Colby. Classic style</p>

<p>Vassar is gorgeous! So is Smith.</p>

<p>pomona college is nice.</p>

<p>southern cal
then again, also notre dame</p>

<p>how about university of san diego? right on mission beach, its gorgeous</p>

<p>University of San Diego has some nice architecture, but it's not right on any beach. It is several miles inland, on the other side of the I-5 freeway.</p>

<p>Williams, Wellesley, Middlebury, Stanford...all spectacular. My brother went to Stanford GSB, so I have a definite bias towards it, but how can ANYONE compare the achitecture to Taco Bell? The campus has one of my favorite sculptures too...Maya Lin's Time - it's so beautiful and intricate, it's worth going just to see it. And Harvard is majestic with all the ivy covered buildings and big lawns, but it really is SO fragmented...getting from one part to another is just...painful.</p>

<p>stanford is the best. There is no doubt about it.</p>

<p>I've grown up visiting Princeton, and I absolutely love their campus. It's beautiful. I also like Columbia.
I hear Stanford's is amazing, but I've only seen pictures.</p>
