<p>Heidelburg.</p>
<p>Closer to home, USD, UCSB, and UCSB's feeder community college, Santa Barbara City College, overlooking the yacht harbor.</p>
<p>Duke Dartmouth and Cornell</p>
<p>Some of the other schools that I see in lists I don't really find beauty, but I guess thats because beauty is in the eye of the beholder</p>
<p>I guess I'll rank all the schools I've visited.</p>

</ol>
<p>St. John's college at Annapolis = LOVE!</p>
<p>Here's my ranking of all the ones I've been to:
1. Cornell - I've gotta say it...it's gorges (get it? get it?)
2. Kenyon - Didn't like the vibe of the area, but the campus was beautiful
3. Occidental - Great panoramic views of LA and greenery aplenty
4. Columbia - Best it could be given the location
5. Haverford - Green and historic-looking, the duck pond was a nice touch
6. Franklin and Marshall - Very average, not great but not horrible
7. Whitman - Same as above, but not as much "character"
8. Pomona - Everything was under construction and unfinished
9. Carnegie Mellon - Hardly any greenery, every building looked like it hadn't had a renovation in at least 30 years</p>
<p>simpsnut, when did you visit pomona? ive visited twice now and i havent seen much construction on pomona, mainly around the library and just in the other claremont colleges. plus, pomona renovates a couple buildings every year over the summer. maybe you visited over the summer?</p>
<p>Duke is a prettiest (and probably biggest)</p>
<p>Columbia is nice too, given its economic use of space</p>
<p>I liked PSU's layout too</p>
<p>The one I didn't like was Lafayette, if anyones been there</p>
<p>Kosuke, I visited Pomona last October. Maybe I got unlucky with the timing, but it seemed like there was a lot of construction going on. Don't get me wrong, I understand that they have to do that to keep buildings up to date, but it seemed excessive to me. I also got horrible tour guides, so maybe they tainted my opinion a bit.</p>
<p>weird...i visited in october too....</p>
<ol>
<li>Dartmouth</li>
<li>Notre Dame</li>
<li>University of Michigan</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>Stanford</li>
<li>Upenn</li>
<li>UCLA</li>
</ol>
<p>The only others I've seen are ucberkeley, nyu, cooper union, fordham, sarah lawerence, and usf. They were okay, but not as beautiful as the ones above.</p>
<p>Yeah, this is coming from a Trojan '09 but I have to admit that UCLA has got one nice looking campus. I liked it a lot. I will say that USC is nice-looking, too (and I thought this way before I started really getting into 'SC, so you can't call me so biased! :)). </p>
<p>Someone mentioned Scripps and I agree-- it's a very small campus but as soon as I walked on I felt like I was in a sort of desert resort-- lots of Spanish mission architecture, dry plants, lots of pretty, blue-tiled fountains. I don't believe that Scripps has "dorms." They are more like resort rooms (some with miny balconies). Pomona, another Claremont, is a looker too. And you can't beat the Southern California weather they are blessed with.</p>
<p>Wellesley is gorgeous. Mount Holyoke is lovely. Agnes Scott in Atlanta is lovely, too. In fact, I'll just go out and say that many women's colleges are very pretty.</p>
<p>Back to the West Coast: Pepperdine, yes, is right by the beach, but I think it's slightly overrated in terms of beauty.</p>
<p>Occidental had nice buildings and a beautiful cafeteria (and this really interesting Star Trek-type fountain), but the way the campus was structured (very oddly, on different levels of a giant sloping hill connected by sets of steps, surrounded by a somewhat scruffy, lower-income neighborhood in LA) was generally not as nice as the actual buildings in it.</p>
<p>In the Southeast, I've heard many people (mainly classmates) that are partial to Furman, Sewanee and UGA.</p>
