<p>Hmm, I don't know what part of Georgia Tech is ugly. There are a few generic admin bldgs but area is nice and tree-lined, most bldgs are quite nice and has that southern charm, especially at night.</p>
<p>College Park and the whole Route 1 corridor is ugly, not to mention a ghetto. Its more brick than building except for the quad. It looks like construction facility from air.</p>
<p>William and Mary is very very nice.</p>
<p>as are UVA, Princeton, Stanford</p>
<p>Georgetown is ok.</p>
<p>Among the most beautiful campuses: Princeton, Stanford, Dartmouth, Duke, UVa, BC, Colgate, Davidson, Emory, JHU, Middlebury, Vassar, Washington & Lee, Bucknell, Dickinson, Kenyon, Denison, William & Mary, Penn State (if not for its campus spirit alone), CalTech, Cornell and Vanderbilt.</p>
<p>Among the most "ugly" campuses, IMHO and with some apologies: SUNY campuses, but most especially Binghamton (a humorless, harsh and insensitively industrial feel with dorms that look like urban housing projects), Southern Connecticut State U. (hopeless despite the new building; the bookstore's in a portable trailer?!), Harvard (urban un-planning), Brown (crowded, tired, sloppy, badly maintained), Amherst (in dire need of a facelift), Pitzer (cold, sterile, out-dated post modern architecture), parts of Wesleyan (poor and inconsistent overall design to the campus), Columbia (messy, cramped, overwhelming), Case Western (try as it will, it can't keep the Cleveland slums at bay), Lehigh (the fraternities and local town diminish it; also the athletic facilities being over the hill don't help), Mt. Holyoke (another campus in need of a good facelift and some energy), American (a split personality), Clark (in the wrong part of Worchester; Holy Cross is in the right part and it shows), Drew (dark, gloomy, exhausted) and Ohio State (because it is so huge!) --</p>
<p>Prettiest I've been---yale? maybe</p>
<p>Best architecture--University of Virginia (former stanford architect called UVa's campus design second to perfection) well, there's no perfection.</p>
<p>Georgetown's campus is OK, the location is awesome though. (it's in DC)</p>

Amherst (in dire need of a facelift)
[/QUOTE]
Amherst Collegor UMass Amherst? There's a big difference?</p>
<p>Prettiest: Florida, Duke, UNC, Bucknell</p>
<p>Ugliest: Yale (everything seems mismatched), Chicago, Tulane</p>
<p>Best: Duke, Princeton, Williams, Middlebury, Colby, Dartmouth</p>
<p>out of the schools i've visitied:</p>
<p>beautiful: princeton, stanford, santa clara, yale</p>
<p>pretty: penn, harvard, georgetown, BC, USD, Pepperdine</p>
<p>average: JMU, BU, WPI, UCI, UCSD, UCLA, Arizona, Northern Arizona</p>
<p>ugly: NYU, Fordham, Drexel, Arizona State</p>
<p>I am surprised no one bring up cornell. All those water falls and creeks and natural beauty.</p>
<p>Beautiful: Cornell, UChicago</p>
<p>Pretty: Simpson College, UIUC</p>
<p>Average: Minnesota State University - Mankato, Iowa State</p>
<p>Ugly: Gustavus Adolphus, Rose-Hulman</p>
<p>Just wondering...where does Brandeis stand?</p>
<p>UMD College park is really ugly along the metro line--but other parts aren't so bad. BUT, the whole College Park/Greenbelt area is pretty ghetto/run down.</p>
<p>Prettiest: Washington and Lee, UVA, Elon, Denison, Wooster, DePauw (I'm a little biased), WashU, and even Truman State.....but by far the prettiest is Furman University.</p>
<p>Ugliest: Ithaca, Ursinus, Ohio Wesleyan, Georgetown, George Washington, SLU.</p>
<p>Pretty: Rice, especially in the spring, when the sky's blue and the azaleas are in bloom, and Stanford, as a lot of people'd mentioned before</p>
<p>Ugly: Who's seen Texas A&M? (Good lookin', if you like BEIGE. BEIGE, everywhere.... Beige boxes... I would go nuts for sure.)</p>
<p>Emory has a nice camp..oyeh and stanfords campus is heaven</p>

</p>
<p>I personally think it's a horrible campus.</p>
<p>Wake Forest is by far the best looking campus I've seen.</p>
<p>My favorites, of those I visited:</p>
<p>Best: Furman(1st by a wide margin), UNC-Chapel Hill, Wake Forest, William and Mary</p>
<p>Worst: UNC-Asheville(natural scenary is nice, but the buildings are ugly), NC State(It's great if you love brick)</p>
<p>Thanks for the compliment on my undergrad alma mater..Furman of the massive rose garden, the dripping magnolias, the grand fountains, the trails and the lake. But better than that is the Pisgah Forest just up the road in North Carolina's most beautiful mountains, where you can meander through Saluda, Brevard and Hendersonville, Caesar Rock and Asheville. Furman delivers an outstanding access to a demanding liberal arts program, a fine faculty and fabulous facilities and Greenville/Spartanburg is growing like Charlotte and just up the road from Atlanta on 85. I would love to see more kids from other regions give it a chance as it has everything that most colleges dream of but national diversity in the student body.</p>
<p>i haven't seen a lot of places that people have mentioned, but of ones that i've seen some of the prettiest are wake forest, holy cross, william & mary, boston college, and u of richmond. i especially liked richmond because of all the hills and trees. it's a nice contrast with the style of a lot of the southern schools (red brick, white columns)- although that can be quite pretty, like at wake forest, its nice to see something a bit different.</p>
<p>Bowdoin College?</p>
