Favorite (best looking) college campuses?

<p>I have to admit I'm pretty shallow in this regard. I want to go to a school with a nice looking campus. I'm curious as to what CC thinks are the most beautiful campuses. I really liked University of Richmond (especially the pond).</p>

<p>For an urban campus:</p>

<p>McGill University in Montreal: the view of the lower campus and the mountainside campus from Sherbrooke Street is stunning.</p>

<p>Berry College looks awfully nice, though I’ve never been there.</p>

<p>Rice is beautiful. Great architecture and grounds. Kind of an oasis in Houston.</p>

<p>URichmond really is pretty. William and Mary is nice (well, the whole Williamsburg thing is nice).</p>

<p>Rice, Wash U., Tufts, UVA, CAL, UCLA, Bowdoin, and there are many, many more, which I haven’t visited them. I have heard that Emory is quite lovely. UC Santa Cruz, woodsy and lush, is beautiful but a very different look than a traditional architecture campus. I drove through Wellesley and thought it, too, was beautiful. Internationally–St. Andrews, University of Salamanca, Oxford.</p>

<p>Addition: Johns Hopkins is very pretty, too, with a stellar on-campus art museum.</p>

<p>This is very subjective. Off the top of my head…</p>

<p>McMaster U (ON)
Bemidji State
U Utah
U Victoria (BC)
U Buffalo - N Campus
UBC (BC)
Fort Lewis College</p>

<p>Hey good news… Your not the only shallow one here, as a matter of fact this question has been asked quite often. So why not just do a search.</p>

<p>Lehigh and Rice were both really pretty.</p>

<p>Yet, I didn’t like either one, didn’t even apply. Still, pretty.</p>

<p>Miami University in Ohio and Indiana University Bloomington both have GORGEOUS campuses. UCSB’s campus is nice too, but I think much of the beauty comes from the fact that the school is literally on the beach.</p>

<p>Stanford’s campus is gorgeous. I mean, they have freaking orange trees! And every time I’ve been there (like, three times, but still) it was really sunny and warm! (BTW I stole like five oranges and they were pretty good.)</p>

<p>And Wellesley’s campus is also stunning.</p>

<p>Then if you’re not such a fan of the sun… UW (in Seattle) is right on a lake, lots of trees and greenery.</p>

<p>UI-Bloomington
Clemson
Alabama
Notre Dame
Santa Clara</p>

<p>I heard Dickinson College has pretty gorgeous campus, especially in fall when the red leaves are everywhere. The buildings and library are nice, too (from what I saw in pictures). But the bad thing is, it rains a lot.</p>

<p>I’m gonna be there this August :D</p>

<p>The most beautiful college I’ve visited has been University of Richmond in my opinion, but only considering outward appearance. We visited several summers ago with only a handful or so of students present.</p>

<p>If you liked Richmond, check out Wake Forest and Furman as well. Sister institutions in nearby states, each with fabulously beautiful campuses.</p>

<p>It’s in the eye of the beholder:
Lewis & Clark - former estate
Denison - Quaint village
William and Mary - obviously historical style right in Williamsburg
Air Force Academy - modern architecture at the foot of the Rockies
West Point - impressive stone buildings on the majestic Hudson</p>

<p>I’m partial to William & Mary and Haverford.</p>

<p>Someone has got to mention Rollins College here. You can talk about it being to small or what not, but the campus is aesthetically the most pleasing I’ve seen. I also really enjoyed Richmond’s campus. I wasn’t too fond of W&M’s or Emory’s campuses. With William and Mary, the campus is too integrated into the city in my opinion, and while I believe that with Emory as well, at least Emory can say that its dumped ridiculous (in a good way) amounts of money into their facilities. While neither W&M and Emory didn’t speak to me, they are beautiful campuses, Emory in particular.</p>

<p>I’d have to echo the comment about Furman and Wake Forest in terms of campus beauty.</p>

<p>Rollins College is so beautiful with the Spanish Mediterrean architecture. Landscaping is perfect and the campus borders Lake Virginia.</p>
