<p>Pretty: Princeton, Notredame, Stanford, Yale... Oh CORNELL on my #1 list.</p>
<p>Ugly: Ugh -- Harvey Mudd For Sure... Mit, Georgia Tech</p>
<p>Notre Dame is absolutely gorgeous.</p>
<p>Brown's dorms are ugly??????</p>
<p>From what I've visited (I didn't think any were really ugly)</p>
<p>The Best (in order): Princeton, JHU, Penn, University of Delaware
Not bad (in order): College of New Jersey, Peabody, American
Ehh: Carnegie Mellon, Rowan
I've never actually been to all of Rowan, but a lot of the inside sucks because everything is colored school colors! BROWN AND YELLOW!</p>
<p>Of all the schools I've visited:
Beautiful: Virginia Tech, UVa, Rose-Hulman, MIT, Caltech, UCSD, Georgetown, George Mason (I'm biased on that one; it's right near my house :p).
Not-so-beautiful: USC (yes, that is where I go!), Purdue, GWU, UChicago, Harvard, Rutgers-New Brunswick, William and Mary, GA Tech, U.Md-College Park.</p>
<p>
Uhh, what war are we talking about? If you're talking about the '92 riots, that was in '92 not today.</p>
<p>William and Mary not beautiful??? <em>chokes a little</em></p>
<p>Does anyone know how Columbia's campus is? I heard that the surround areas of Columbia were very dirty, but I haven't heard or seen much about what the actual campus looks like.</p>
<p>According to my friend:
Columbia-grass, pretty buildings et cetera.
One step out of Columbia-third world country.</p>
<p>vanderbilt is by far one of the most gorgeous campuses in the country</p>

<p>Hmm... I bet some third world countries would love to look like the areas surrounding Columbia.</p>
<p>Sad but true.</p>
<p>Columbia is beautiful. San Francisco State is also really interesting and funky; I like it. Eugene Lang is amazingly designed.</p>
<p>Any of these **** Fordham up the ass. Fordham sucks. At least the LC Campus.</p>
<p>Fordham's Lincoln Campus and Rose Hills Campus are as different as night and day. Before you say Fordham s---ks, you might want to look at the Rose Hills Campus. It blows Columbia away, I might add--and yes, I've been on both campuses. (in fact all 3 locations, if you count both Fordham campuses).</p>
<p>Columbia is okay, though--the library in particular is impressive--and the surrounding areas are better than what surrounds Fordham's Rose Hills (Bronx) campus.</p>
<p>As far as ugly, I'm now including Carnegie Mellon (visited there yesterday). It even makes MIT look good. And it makes neighboring Univ of Pitt look great by comparison. </p>
<p>I don't think any of Carnegie Mellon's classrooms or structures would meet the building codes in my local community.</p>
<p>Don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but as far schools in the Midwest:</p>
<p>Kansas - Definitely one of the tops in the country...hilly as all get out, but Mount Oread is a great setting</p>
<p>Nebraska - my alma mater so I'm partial, but a great walking campus. Surprisingly attractive considering it's seriously in the middle of Lincoln's downtown. The Tommy Lee Goes to College show did a great job of showcasing it.</p>
<p>K-State: not attractive, even in a windswept plain sort of way.
Iowa State: The female student body is amazing...the rest of campus not so much.</p>
<p>I mentioned it before, but it's HARVEY MUDD. Ugh...</p>
<p>Bentley college?</p>
<p>SF State Sally? It's nice to be in SF, but that campus isn't great. Pretty depressing weather too (always foggy.)</p>
<p>Most beautiful:
Cal! judge for yourself:

<p>Wisconsin
Colorado
Princeton
Virginia</p>
<p>Pretty nice:
Bryn Mawr
Stanford
McGill
UW
Michigan
Indiana
UCLA
UCSC
UWash.</p>
<p>OK:
Georgetown
Penn
Columbia
USC</p>
<p>not that great
Maryland</p>
<p>errr... the upper west side could not be further from a third world country</p>
<p>Berkeley is nice, but Stanford I think beats it overall--though you get a much better view of the SF bay at Berkeley (Stanford has no bay view at all)</p>
<p>Bentley is all brand new buildings on top of the hill with a view that are constantly updated--and while Waltham downtown is old, Bentley is in the "good part" of town--all beautiful homes in upper to mid- to upper neighborhoods.</p>
<p>The facilities there are all top-notch. And they are working on the academics. Only place I know where your foreign language tutor is actually on the internet with you from their home country.</p>
