<p>--Swarthmore--Duke (both very well landscaped: Swat, fairy-taleish; Duke: Yale wannabe but better)
--Dartmouth (a true natural environment, Think Robert Frost, HD Thoreau, Melville)
--Brown (warm and timeless)
--Bryn Mawr (Gothic, Harry Potteresque)
--Princeton (well tailored, if stiff...like a popped collar)</p>
<p>^^ Are you serious....give me a break about the popped collar business. The stereotype is not even true anymore.</p>

<p>i dont know about you guys, but i absolutely love those old 1600-1800 type buildings that have all of the buildings on campus together, not all spread out through different locations, and are well landscaped and well kept</p>
<p>I think Colgate's endowment is ~ $550mm.</p>
<p>Just wanted to say that some of the nicest campuses are south of the mason-dixon line. I work at a northern lac, but many southern state and private campuses are beautiful compared to their northern neighbors.</p>
<p>Colgate - it's up on a hill with a beautiful lake. I have visited many schools with my daughter, but it's still my favorite. She thinks Tufts is nice.</p>
<p>I can't believe Georgetown gets votes. There is a full-fledged cemetery where they bury all the Jesuits in the middle of the residential area! So creepy!</p>
<p>My votes go for Duke, Princeton, Brown, Bard, Tufts, Cornell, and Amherst.</p>
<p>Middlebury was the most beautiful that I toured. It wouldn't be too exciting for people who grew up around mountains, because its only real attraction is lots of great views of mountains, but to me it was incredible.</p>
<p>Swarthmore is also very nice; it was my favorite in terms of what has actually been done to the campus itself, as opposed to simply the natural beauty visible from it.</p>
<p>I didn't think Bard was that nice.</p>
<p>Vassar is by far the prettiest campus I have ever seen. The library is a CASTLE. With a gorgeous stained glass window inside. </p>
<p>Amherst was pretty too, although less the actual buildings than the natural views.</p>
<p>I went to BC this past summer and I think they had a really nice campus. I liked the quad and the older buildings. Obviously Harvard was also really nice, the nicest that I have seen, which isn't very many!</p>
<p>what about ut austin, is that nice?</p>
<p>PEPPERDINE takes the cake.</p>
<p>cornell owns all</p>
<p>princeton, duke, and west point will blow your guyses minds. these things look like those old castles and are so freaking huge and nicely maintained. they are truly unbelievable. stanford is awesome looking in a different type of style.</p>
<p>UCLA.</p>
<p>UC San Diego-- where some of the dorm rooms have an ocean view.</p>
<p>I spent time at Stanford and Northwestern. Stanford was absolutely stunning upon my first visit and during my first couple months there. One can tell this school has a lot of wealth. After a while though, I got used to the architecture because they never change. Northwestern isn't nearly as impressive upon visiting and the buildings are kinda random. But the natural beauty of the lakefront area and the lagoon, which change seasonally, make it a pretty campus overall.</p>
<p>Sam: You and I may be the only two people that are not overly impressed with the beauty of Northwestern's campus.The lake and shoreline were wonderful and relaxing;the campus,however, while nice just wasn't as special as I had heard and read from multiple sources. What did I miss? I am convinced that I am wrong because every source I know of has stated otherwise. Maybe I need to visit during the Fall season.</p>
<p>are you kidding me I dont know if its the most beautiful but Harvard has like its own city inside its campus, its freaking crazy and Im going this weekend to harvard for the hs debate tournament so it will be a very fun weekend in addition to monday</p>
