<p>U of Delaware</p>
<p>Wife and I thought Wellesley was more beautiful than we ever expected any college to be. Colgate and Dartmouth are amazing. U of Virginia and Indiana U are tough to beat for large schools.</p>
<p>Whitman College on a fall day. The layout, the architecture, and the glorious colors of foliage are breathtaking!</p>
<p>Notre Dame will always have my vote, though the gothic architecture at Boston College is amazing as well.</p>
<p>There is more to a college than just it’s campus. Immediate surroundings and overall location are very important too. While ND and Duke might be considered attractive, I wouldn’t rate the towns that they are located in to be partcularly pleasant.</p>
<p>Virginia Tech</p>
<p>We’ve yet to visit a school as pretty as that one. It’s absolutely gorgeous. WUSTL is decent too.</p>
<p>Idaho: Don’t laugh - it’s an old flagship with a grand core campus and most buildings stick to a consistent red-brick architectural theme.</p>
<p>Indiana: Except for the godawful Wells Library, IU is simply beautiful.</p>
<p>Four stand out in my mind:</p>
<p>U of Va.
Duke
Cornell
Pepperdine</p>
<p>Wow there’s a lot thanks</p>
<p>UVa has made this list a lot and i do agree; Tommy Jeffs knew what he was doing.
But i would like to play devils advocate on this one and mention that William and Mary has a fantastic campus. It’s age and design gives you that walking-among-giants feeling. I remember walking around and thinking, “wow.” The caveat is that I am a US history buff.</p>
<p>Otherwise, I liked:
Yale, UCB, Brown, Duke,</p>
<p>UC Berkeley. It has ocean views and hills, a creek, a redwood grove, varied architecture and a vibe that can be urban or nature-oriented, depending where you are on campus.</p>
<p>UVA gets my top vote, with Duke and Yale close behind. Duke would be nicer if it meshed into the surrounding area as nicely as UVA does.</p>
<p>Since no one’s mentioned it yet, I feel obligated to mention Emory- admittedly not the typical gothic college campus, it’s still gorgeous. I have no idea what it’s style of architecture is called, but the campus’ buildings are all cohesive, there’s a ton of grass and greenery, and it’s right next to a beautiful park.</p>
