Pepperdine Edges Out Princeton as Nation's Most Attractive College Campus

Colleges and Universities A-Z Princeton University

<p>Princeton's campus was ranked as the nation's second most beautiful. The following was stated of Princeton:</p>

<p>"2. Princeton University (Princeton, New Jersey)
Students at Princeton know they've got a good thing going. The school's "amazing resources, world-class professors," and "beautiful architecture" make it a plum choice for students seeking a well-rounded college experience. From gargoyles perched on various campus buildings to a faculty room modeled after the British House of Commons, Princeton is the epitome of old-world learning in historically inspired splendor."</p>

<p>Here are the rankings which appear at MSN:</p>

<p>Pepperdine does look pretty nice...</p>

<p>Given your location I guess you would know. Have you been to both campuses?</p>

<p>I have...(from LA as well) very different but equally beautiful. Princeton is 'old world' beautiful and the buildings are gorgeous, whereas Pepperdine has a breathtaking setting...looking out over malibu. (beach is right there.) but it doesn't have the history that princeton has.</p>

<p>I don't even understand Princeton's #2 rating. (Don't kill me!) I love the school, but the campus... I don't know. It's just a campus. Above average, of course, but nothing special. Princeton has other things to worry about... like, you know, academics.</p>

<p>Oh, I don't think Princeton worries much about its #2 in the nation looks or its #1 in the nation academics:</p>

<p>But I am sure Princeton's students appreciate their national quality of life ranking:</p>
