<p>Cornell, Dartmouth, Richmond, Johns Hopkins were all good (especially Cornell).</p>
<p>STANFORD is like a beautiful country club...PENN is like an oasis in a big bumbling city(when ur on the campus, u feel like ur in europe with beautiful castles and brick buildings but u walk one block and ur in the middle of philly-luv it!)...TUFTS is beautifullll and amazing brick buildings with a foresty feeling ....USC is also like an oasis and a nice campus...UCLA is in a great area(westwood is the best college neighborhood) and the campus is nice too but nothing special</p>
<p>Tufts? really?! "Foresty"? Great school but not a great looking campus. I know everyone has a different reaction to each school, but I have a really hard time seeing Tufts as beautiful.</p>
<p>Stanford, Wisconsin, Washington and Notre Dame.</p>
<p>I've never seen anything as beautiful as Scripps, and at one time or another I think I've seen 90% of the others mentioned in this forum.</p>
<ol>
<li>Vanderbilt</li>
<li>Dartmouth</li>
<li>Duke</li>
</ol>
<p>From my visiting, in no specific order:
Princeton
UVA
William and Mary</p>
<p>... surprisingly large number of Richmond mentions, IMO it's at best #3 in VA.</p>
<p>A kid who graduated the year before me from my HS was stabbed at USC trying to get Burger King...</p>
<p>Emory
Dartmouth
UNC-CH
Stanford
Princeton</p>
<p>I am probably unique in this but I really liked Brown too.</p>
<p>rExRuN467: Agree, USC is absolutely incredible ...within the walls.</p>
<p>Art Center, Cornell, Cambridge,and Caltech ( never seen many people there)</p>
<p>i will agree, caltech is beautiful. i love their art in the dorms...esp lloyd.</p>
<p>pomona had a nice so cal campus too, but kinda small. i wish would just buy up the rest of the claremont colleges and make them as nice as pomona. whatever.</p>
<p>amherst, nice nice nice view. all i see, mountains, trees, and guess what? its all amherst's.</p>
<p>Ive been to northwestern and reed, loved both campuses (although NU had a couple butt ugly science buildings).. Going to UC Santa Cruz friday, its supposed to be beautiful, I'll comment afterward...
Anyways, does anybody have an opinion on oberlin or the university of iowa. Coming from San Francisco, dealing with snow will be an experience. Hopefully these campuses will be able to essentuate (i think I just made up a word) that effect. University of Iowa has like, 3 nice buildings from what I can tell, because every single picture I've ever seen of the campus (and I've searched high and low) is of one of those three buildings. I suppose this suggests tha the rest are butt ugly, but ive also heard otherwise. Any ideas?</p>
<p>Oh, rankings and descriptions of my favs that I've visited so far
1) reed (just, just beautiful, parklike and serene)
2) lewis and clark (same reasons as reed, only with an added view)
3) st. mary's college of california (beautiful buildings, very california, very well situated into its setting)
4) Northwestern, beautiful lakeside setting, nice view of the city, wonderful adjoining neighborhood/town, several magnificent old buildings
5) Stanford (looks too manicured for me, also, too many big ugly buildings (for example, the adjoining hospital, hospitals are never pretty)
6)Sonoma State - beautiful Charles Schulz library, beautiful wooded campus, well taken care of, nice weather, nice buildings
7) Pomona/Scripps - lets be honest, the claremont college campus is one beautiful combination.. terrible area tho, and ugly duck Claremont McKenna almost ruins the old-style splendor. </p>
<p>ive been to more, but they're mostly ugly
such as San Jose State, UC Davis, UCSF (except the view is great), Claremont McKenna, SF State (ugliest buildings ever built, ever)...</p>
<p>I forgot to add three of my favorite campuses. </p>
<p>Cambridge...the most beautiful campus on Earth.
UCSB...amazing beach front property
Wisconsin-Madison</p>
<p>richmond is unbeatable, you dont even have to visit to know its good.</p>

<p>how does santa clara compare with stanford?</p>
<p>I was really not impressed with Santa Clara. Some people on this forum have been saying it is beautiful, but I didn't see it. It is nice, but it is not gorgeous. Stanford, on the other hand, has an amazing campus.</p>
<ol>
<li>Dartmouth </li>
<li>Yale</li>
<li>USC</li>
</ol>
<p>i've visited almost every campus in California. I'm biased when I say this, but SDSU is one of my favorite looking campuses.</p>
