<p>Smith is a really nice campus.</p>
<p>Sounds like beauty is in the eye of the beholder.</p>
<p>Neo-Gothic architecture is a sight to behold! Everytime I walk through the quads, I can't help but feel like I'm going to school at Hogwarts =)</p>
<p>Chicago and Yale are definitely impressive in that respect.</p>
<p>I second UES. Smith has a beautiful campus.</p>
<p>UC Irvine, nice campus, nice neighborhood and nice people and amazing weather.</p>
<p>my favs:</p>
<p>UVA
UNC
Northwestern
Amherst</p>
<p>Stanford has a "paradise" campus - absolutely beautiful</p>
<p>Yale and Brown are gorgeous</p>
<p>^^^haha, have you SEEN New Pembroke 1-4? </p>
<p>:D</p>
<p>i kid, i kid, we're perty.</p>
<p>Stanford stands out as the most beautiful that we visited.</p>
<p>I think santa clara university is the prettiest campus I've seen. it was like a deluxe country club</p>
<ol>
<li>Pepperdine U. (hands down, no other school comes close)</li>
<li>Cornell U.</li>
<li>Swarthmore (the campus is an arboretum)</li>
<li>Lehigh U. (surprised me)</li>
</ol>
<p>Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The first west coast college I ever saw was Berkeley and I was amazed by all the flowers in the middle of what was winter on the east coast. In California, I have liked most of the UC's, and Chico St. for attractive public institutions. Davis is great if you want a classic college town, right out of the movies. Stanford is like a dream. On the East coast, I liked Swarthmore, Smith and others, but I would take Cornell University and all of its experimental stations. The old classrooms in the oldest building and the newest technologies blended together.</p>
<p>Trinity College Cambridge....NO COMPETITION</p>
<ol>
<li>Colgate</li>
<li>Cornell</li>
<li>Bucknell</li>
</ol>
<p>Duke, Stanford, West Point, Holy Cross, Princeton.</p>
<p>^^^
Trinity College is gorgeous, but there are so many beautiful buildings in Cambridge that it's hard to pick a winner. Look at this link and tell me you don't agree...</p>
<p>Oops...meant to respond to post #255</p>
<p>Duke- cool gothic, new buildings fit in
Elon- uniformity and lovely grounds
Pepperdine- uniformity and amazing view
Princeton- real gothic, the "real" ivy look
Rice- beautiful oaky mix of southwest and east
Smith- classic New England campus
Stanford- southwest version of an Ivy
UVA- the ideal college campus, copied by many for a reason</p>
