<p>although i have not visited the campus yet, during my Wellesley alumni interviewer told me that she chose Wellesley over Cornell because of its campus...she said that everything looked so perfect lol,</p>
<p>Scripps College has one of the most beautiful campuses</p>
<p>Pepperdine is amazing</p>
<p>Georgetown wins hands down</p>
<p>The beautiful old, gothic campuses of England and Scotland.</p>
<p>Princeton, Yale, Stanford, Elon, UNC</p>
<p>Duke, UNC, Wake, BC...hey thats 1/3 of the greatest conference</p>
<p>Smith College</p>
<p>It was designed by America's greatest landscape architect Frederic Law Olmstead, who also designed NYC's Central Park. </p>
<p>When you walk around, the views unfold and turn corners, so you just want to keep on walking and looking.</p>
<p>Elon and BC.</p>
<p>if u guys dont think duke,princeton,yale, and west point are in there u are crazy...not to mention the fact that half the places u guys mentioned look like condo's and just have a good location going for them, they arent anything spectacular</p>
<p>Rice is more beautiful than Stanford, and they are of similar architectural styles.</p>
<p>Rice and Stanford were both very nice, but kind of inconsistently attractive, if that makes sense. Most, but not all areas were wonderful. Berkeley is beautiful. Scripps and Pomona are both beautiful (but not big). USC has a very attractive campus, but I wouldn't describe it as "beautiful." Nonetheless, it held a lot of appeal. Very clean. Very well-designed. Similarly, Pepperdine has a beautiful LOCATION and a beautiful VIEW, but its campus doesn't strike me that way. Again, it's certainly clean, functional, and well-designed, but it strikes me as too modern to fall into this category. I've only seen Bryn Mawr in pictures, but it seems incredible. Same with Princeton.</p>
<p>Parent here, been to about 40 campuses so far- </p>
<p>Alum of W&M so I'm biased, but old campus is beautiful for its history and serenity (Wren Building, worn brick herirngbone paths, Crim Dell) but new campus is a not beautiful by any means, although at least they kept it all brick. The azaleas and daffodils in springtime can't be beat. </p>
<p>S1 at P'ton- many Gorgeous buildings and grounds, but mixed architectural style and not all is beautiful. I think like W&M it faces the perrennial problem of limited grounds but expanding needs.</p>
<p>Middlebury wowed H and me with it's overall beautiful, cohesive campus and surrounding scenery (how does anyone get any work done in that library with its wall of windows)? But what was most impressive was how absolutely CLEAN the entire campus was. No trash, and more astonishingly, no sand along the curbs from all of the snow prevention. Middlebury was as close to heaven as I've ever seen. Of course in the middle of winter it could be quite the opposite, I suppose.</p>
<p>University of Colorado is really pretty</p>
<p>Of the 30 or so campuses I've seen, the tops ones would definitely be:</p>
<p>Pepperdine
University of San Diego
Boston College
Stanford</p>
<p>Claiming Olmsted as a certain campus' designer is nothing extraordinarily special.</p>
<p>He designed Cornell, Yale, Stanford, Gallaudet, Smith, and Trinity.
His son or stepson design Brown, WUStL, Chicago, Johns Hopkins, Vassar, Bryn Mawr, Mt. Holyoke, Duke, Haverford, HBS, Williams, and Notre Dame.</p>
<p>here's another vote for bryn mawr</p>

<p>SECONDED!</p>
<p>Out of the many campuses I've seen, the five most beautiful are:</p>
<p>1) Miami University
2) U of Virginia
3) Southern Methodist University
4) U of Colorado
5) UNC - Chapel Hill</p>
<p>If we're doing the world, Oxford, England, and University of Oregon, Eugene. So there!</p>
<p>"Duke, UNC, Wake, BC...hey thats 1/3 of the greatest conference"</p>
<p>You forgot Virginia! And Maryland is pretty nice too.</p>
