<p>Please check out UC Boulder (Italian Villa architecture anyone? So beautiful and cozy against an amazing mountainous backdrop-beautiful!)</p>
<p>LoonLake: Which University of Minnesota campus did you visit? I like the one in Duluth.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The one in Minneapolis. I didnāt even know there was one in Duluth haha.</p>
<p>The prettiest is definitely Pepperdine. The ugliest campus Iāve been on is Tennessee. Itās just cement everywhere with very little grass for laying in. </p>
<p>Iām going to add Auburn simply because I do not like them.</p>
<p>A number of years ago, the American Institute of Architects asked their members to vote for the most attractive collection of buildings in the country. First place was the University of Virginia. Second place was Rockefeller Center.</p>
<p>The running joke at UVa was: when a tourist asks directions, tell them āIts the red brick building, with the white columns, you canāt miss it.ā </p>
<p>Drexel University usually is nominated for ugliest campus, although it has improved from 25 years ago. People say SUNY Albany is ugly, but I havenāt seen it.</p>
<p>I agree that Dickinson College in Carlisle PA has a beautiful campus. </p>
<p>I was very disappointed with Georgetownās architecture (that opinion has absoluted nothing to do with the fact that they rejected by son).</p>
<p>Penn Stateās main campus has great new buildings, plus first rate landscaping.</p>
<p>Ugliest- Florida A and M University. Its a historic school so a lot of the buildings are old. In 2011 theyāre only now fixing up some of the dorms. All of the dorms are pretty much falling apart.</p>
<p>Prettiest- Florida State University. Looks amazing when you see it from up front.</p>
<p>Many people will disagree with me, but the campus that I visited and liked the least was Tufts. I wasnāt a huge fan of Duke, either, but I know Iām in the minority there. I actually think that UNC-Chapel Hill has one of the most beautiful campuses around.</p>
<p>
SUNY Albanyās campus is actually kind of impressive. Itās kind of a modernist take on Roman colonnades and such, and itās also very concrete-heavyā¦ take it how you will. Some people might find it ugly, some people think itās artistic. </p>
<p>I canāt say what the ugliest campus Iāve ever seen is. MIT looked pretty ugly from what I remember, but I didnāt see much. Amherst looked very āMassachusetts colonialā in an overbearing kind of way. </p>
<p>I liked Yale and Princetonās campuses the most. They are probably the most classically beautiful. My favorite and the most hilarious campus is UChicago. Knowing itās meant to look centuries old and knowing itās only about a hundred years old, okay, well, I find it funny. The gargoyles and random faces on the walls are a lot of lulz as are the battlements, the Oxford reference, and the purposely overgrown ivy. And I donāt know, the contrast between the hardcore Gothic architecture and the rest (including a main library of the Brutalist style, which means it looks kind of like an alien fortress), is uhā¦ jarring? Ironic? Yeah, our campus is pretty hipster.</p>
<p>The most stunning campus Iāve seen is Vassar (too bad the town is not)
The most stair climbing Iāve been to is Boston College.
The most transformed Iāve been to is TCU - nearly completely rebuilt in 4 years.</p>
<p>I think Chapman, USC, UC Santa Cruz, Cal, and Columbia are all gorgeous.</p>
<p>CSU Fullerton, CSU Fresno, CSU Bakersfield - basically the vast majority of CSUs I think are hideous. Westmont looks ugly, too.</p>
<p>One of the most beautiful definitely has to be Indiana University - Bloomington. I currently attend the school and know of its beauty year round. Itās the most beautiful in the fall and summer in my opinion. Spring is a bit iffy because there are trees that are in full bloom while others are still a bit dead, so summer is when all of the trees are green. There are so many treesā¦ more treesā¦ and more trees. Itās just very green around the campus and the campus itself is a beauty. The memorial union is spectacular as is other gothic architecture made with Indiana limestone. The winter thoughā¦ the campus looks dead because all of the trees are dead. lol Donāt visit during the winter! Downtown right next to the university is beautiful as well!</p>
<p>I shall take photos before I leave for the summer! </p>
<p>Iām hoping to transfer to NYU so I know that I will be missing this absolutely beautiful campus.</p>
<p>Vassar is like a fairytale.</p>
<p>Occidental and Carleton are also pretty nice.</p>
<p>Didnāt really like Swarthmore.</p>

<p>ugliest: university of louisville, prettiest: idk why i think it but i think university of tennesee</p>
<p>Ugliest- SUNY Purchase
Prettiest- USC</p>
<p>Happened to be my top two schools. Iām going with USC :D</p>
<p>UCLA has a very beautiful campus. Well-maintained, with Italian Renaissance-style buildings (such as Royce Hall & Powell) blending in with newer buildings, amidst a backdrop of trees and hills. Spacious with lots of green!

<p>Occidental College is also nice ([Occidental</a> College Virtual Campus Tour](<a href=āhttp://classic.oxy.edu/welcome/tour/index.htm]Occidentalā>http://classic.oxy.edu/welcome/tour/index.htm)).</p>
<p>And of course, the views are just breahttaking at Pepperdine University ([Google</a> Images](<a href=āhttp://www.google.com/imgres?q=pepperdine+university&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&tbm=isch&tbnid=Z4X6WlN2iWJGyM:&imgrefurl=http://www.hereandtherewithpatandbob.com/2010/04/04/malibu-pepperdine-university/&docid=wCkVo6A6w6u3GM&w=1024&h=768&ei=-mhJTojWEM3PiALuu_jVAQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=334&vpy=271&dur=3125&hovh=194&hovw=259&tx=173&ty=114&page=1&tbnh=133&tbnw=180&start=0&ndsp=12&ved=1t:429,r:5,s:0&biw=1024&bih=610]Googleā>http://www.google.com/imgres?q=pepperdine+university&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&tbm=isch&tbnid=Z4X6WlN2iWJGyM:&imgrefurl=http://www.hereandtherewithpatandbob.com/2010/04/04/malibu-pepperdine-university/&docid=wCkVo6A6w6u3GM&w=1024&h=768&ei=-mhJTojWEM3PiALuu_jVAQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=334&vpy=271&dur=3125&hovh=194&hovw=259&tx=173&ty=114&page=1&tbnh=133&tbnw=180&start=0&ndsp=12&ved=1t:429,r:5,s:0&biw=1024&bih=610)).</p>
<p>I think many of the Southern California colleges have an inherent edge owing to Californiaās coastal location and the perfect climate (green and mild all year round).</p>
<p>I havenāt seen many campuses, but of the ones I have, Iād say that UT (Tenn.) is kinda ugly, and Valpo is beautiful, especially the chapel.</p>
<p>Pretty: Holy Cross, Amherst, Bowdoin, UNH, WPI</p>
<p>Ugly: SUNY Purchase, RIT</p>
<p>Ithaca is the only modern architecture Iāve ever seen done right. </p>
<p>Sent from my DROIDX using CC App</p>
<p>University of Miami is definitely the pretty oneā¦ i mean COME ON itās Miami!!</p>
<p>Beautiful: Princeton, Columbia, UMiami, Duke, UNC, UConn</p>
<p>Nice: Lehigh, Yale, TCNJ</p>
<p>Eh: Penn, Harvard, BU</p>
<p>Eww: Brandeis, Rowan, Drexel, MIT, UDelaware, UMaryland</p>
