<p>Indiana University in Bloomington</p>
<p>I have been to many of the campuses mentioned:</p>
<p>Yale: awesome campus, crummy city
Stanford: Open, slightly random campus almost purely tile roofed, 2 story kind of boring buildings. Great for claustrophobics. Surrounding city is very nice suburb.
UCLA: Some beautiful architecture, rolling hills, tens of thousands of trees. Surrounding area is Westwood, Holmby Hills (Playboy Mansion) and Bel Air (home of Gary Winnick's $150M hilltop home.
USC: OK campus, really lousy surrounding neighborhood.
Pepperdine: Ocean view, sparse architecture, not many trees. NOT beautiful in my book. Surrounding area nice but also lacking in trees.
Harvard: A little old and run down, vs. old and well kept. Surrounding city is lively.
Berkeley: similar to Harvard.
Cornell (my wife's input): Beautiful campus but a real hassle for five months of snow.</p>
<p>I attended both Stanford and UCLA. UCLA is to me much the prettier campus, as I am partial to hills and trees.</p>
<p>washington and lee university in lexington virginia---beautiful campus in quaint historic village</p>
<p>"Pomona College is not in Pomona. It moved from Pomona to Claremont in 1888. They briefly changed the name to Piedmont College to reflect the change in location, but the earlier name stuck."</p>
<p>I stand corrected, but, honestly Claremont isn't that much better than Pomona. They neighbor each other!</p>
<p>Stanford,Yale,Chicago,Duke,Caltech</p>
<p>No question, hands down, not even close---</p>
<p>Bryn Mawr!</p>
<p>I'm somewhat surprised that there has been no mention of Pepperdine.......</p>
