Colleges with the nicest campus?

<p>Just wanted to see people's opinions on which uni has the nicest campus. I haven't been to many, but I so far think Stanford's campus is the best (coupled with that amazing Cali weather, it just can't get better, can it?) What do you guys reckon? I heard Duke's pretty beautiful too:)</p>

<p>I visited Indiana University and I thought it was absolutely beautiful.
University of Illinois isn’t that bad either. </p>

<p>There are many beautiful colleges out there. If you google this you will find a number of lists – here are just a couple:</p>

<p>^LOL Texas A&M is also on the list of 50 best campus. </p>

<p>I think Virginia Tech and Iowa State have beautiful campuses.</p>

<p>Forget what I said earlier. Notre Dame and Northwestern trump IU and Illinois in my earlier post. I forgot about them.</p>

<p>UNC Chapel Hill is beautiful</p>

<p>I may be biased since I went there, but I loved Wellesley College’s campus.</p>

<p>Bryn Mawr is beautiful!!</p>

<p>If you do a search, you will find previous CC discussions on this topic. Those comments came down to two types - colleges in beautiful settings (with lakes, mountains, ocean-views, etc) and colleges that have beautiful architecture. Some colleges in great settings do not have great architecture.</p>

<p>Some people love uniformity in architecture, while others love diversity. Some think everything needs to look colonial or gothic, while others love modern and post-modern designs.</p>

<p>In the Midwest, the three most beautiful campuses I have seen are Kenyon College, Indiana University and Notre Dame (too bad about South Bend though).</p>

<p>I’m looking for a school with a rural campus, but urban surroundings so I could actually be close to town, clubs, shopping centre(s) when I’m out of campus, but at the same time, enjoy the nice tranquility of a more rural setting. </p>

<p>I’m just imagining a perfect school setting - with a nice autumn scenery (brown, yellowing leaves) during fall, and a bit of snow (but not too much - too cold) during winter, and during the summer there are beautiful flowers and grasses sprouting everywhere. There’s probably a lake around campus, or at least around town. The campus should be big and have dorms. The architecture? Maybe a little bit countryside-ish, or having many intricate structures. </p>

<p>Is there a school like that? I know I’m being a bit too demanding haha!
Hmmm, shall check out those colleges you guys have listed :)))</p>

<p>^^^^^Haverford, except for the “big” part.</p>

<p>Gettysburg College
wake forest, rice</p>

<p>Bowdoin. A crisp fall day in Maine…it really doesn’t get much better than that.</p>

<p>Colby is more beautiful than Bowdoin</p>

<p>Which ones are beautiful and don’t have the brutal winters?</p>

<p>Stanford, Pepperdine</p>

<p>Northwestern has a beautiful campus on Lake Michigan in Evanston, Illinois.</p>

<p>@ allaboutbooks…Says you.</p>

<p>I think Pepperdine has the nicest campus.</p>

<p>Also, I really like Vanderbilt, Dartmouth, Yale (old campus), Wake Forest, and Colgate.</p>
