Ugliest Campuses and Prettiest Campuses

<p>Another one with a nice campus is Lehigh.</p>

<p>Wellesley is beautiful.</p>

<p>Stanford has a BEAUTIFUL campus! i love it there. (my mom works there)</p>

<p>its also rated one of the safest campuses to live on (when you're around an area where the average house is more than 1million, and the city nearby has the number 1 highest-priced houses in the nation, average being 2.5 million, then you don't expect a lot of crime)</p>

<p>sorry, that was off-topic. but i just found it really interesting!!</p>

<p>UCSC is bee-yoo-tee-ful! no one can deny that one.</p>

<p>Out of all the Campus' i've been on, Howard, Spelman and Morehouse have the most beautiful campus' i've ever seen.. i think American U has a nice campus, oh and so does Georgetown.</p>

<p>Of the ones we visited:</p>

<p>Beauties: UCLA, UCSB (except the housing), Williams, Amherst, Middlebury, Wesleyan, Colgate, Holy Cross, Cornell, Pepperdine</p>

<p>Beasts: IMHO and apologize to those who disagree, Harvard, Brown, Providence, Wheaton (MA), Hampshire, UCSD (campus ugly, La Jolla beautiful)</p>

<p>So-So: Cal Poly SLO, USC, UCI, Loyola-Marymount, Cal State (Fullerton), Assumption College, Stonehill College.</p>

<p>That's all I can recall at the moment.....there were others.</p>

<p>College Park and University of Maryland Eastern Shore, not to mention Coppin State (you can miss it if you blink) are horrible</p>

<p>Hopkins, Towson, St Johns and Columbia are the best.</p>

<p>I'm going to UMD-college park this year and i dont see how you can say its ugly. it has lots of grass, nice brick buildings and more but ill stop with that. anyways, UVA and UNC were both very nice when i visited. Duke wasnt really attractive except for the main quad.</p>

<p>We like to joke that Duke spends a ton of money trying to look old. Then again, they're our bitter archrivals. :)</p>

<p>I heard Yale poured acid on their buildings to make them look older.</p>

<p>alison, UCSC is indeed a very nice place. The fact that you can go mountain biking or hiking on campus great.</p>

<p>UMD College Park is nice.</p>

<p>University of Southern California is so nice. I got a "natural" feel from it.</p>

<p>Best campus, STANFORD * hallelujah, hallelujah, and we shall reign over Cal forever and ever....*, sorry impulse.</p>

<p>You cannot beat Stanfords campus unless you are geared toward the small New England school type campus, in that case, I would say Williams has the best.</p>

<p>To those Princetonians that say Stanford looks like a giant taco bell, we say Princeton is just a squished up version of Stanford beneath the smog.</p>

<p>Ugliest schools, if you tour UMass Amherst in March/April after you get accepted, you'll probably vomit, it's one huge industrial park, thank God for New England weather and covering it up with snow. UMass Lowell is the only decent campus of the five UMass schools. Of course, Massachusetts is 47th in higher education investment.</p>

<p>Temple has probably the worst campus of all Division I schools, thats for sure.</p>

<p>Hahaha, so that is what it reminded me of...</p>

<p>Vassar for sure
Boston College
Connecticut College is quite nice
And I agree with the person who said Wellesley. It is amazing.</p>

<p>womens' colleges always look really really nice. wellesley and bryn mawr, for example. i think college campuses with lots of nature surrounding it are beautiful. like cornell, colgate, middlebury. Funny..since i'll be attending a college in new york city.</p>

<p>P r i n c e t o n</p>

<p>The Lawn at University of Virginia, perfect harmony with Charlottesville and rolling Albemarle County
hard to beat for being the Real Thing. Mount Olympus</p>

<p>too bad it is hard to reside on campus for the four years, but the UVa kids get their walking shoes on and get a lot of exercise getting around</p>

<p>many other campuses feel derivative after you've seen it.</p>

<p>For a southern LAC...Furman University, with Paris Mountain behind it, Asheville, NC up the road...sunny days, but still in the foothills of the Blue Ridge </p>

<p>Swarthmore's Lawn</p>

<p>Middlebury's perfect Vermont village authenticity with great modern indoor architecture for those long long winters</p>

<p>Dartmouth..another harmonious just right campus that feels uber authentic, close to nature but still quite diverse</p>

<p>What do y'all think of NU's campus? I'll be seeing for myself in a couple of months but I'm getting anxious :D</p>

<p>I rather like UChicago's campus but you have to be down with gothic architecture mixed with some beatiful modern buildings (that many students dont like because of bright colors and the such).</p>

<p>I think its quite nice and the quads look very much like what you would expect at a historic university.</p>

<p>Now, the area to the north has been quite ugly but it has been rapidly improving as fast as the crap can be torn down (this is linked to the old idea that uchicago is incredibly dangerous which just isnt true about the area around the campus anymore).</p>
