<p>Rice U. in Houston, U. of Miami in Coral Gables.</p>

26

<p>Lewis and Clark in Portland OR</p>

27

<p>Boston College is suburban (and gorgeous) but it has its own stop on the Boston T (subway) line.</p>

28

<p>I second Rice. Very pretty and contained.</p>

29

<p>Columbia University is pretty.</p>

<p>I disagree with Berkeley being nice looking. It’s littered.</p>

30

<p>I really disagree with quakerstate about McGill. I love Montreal, but McGill is mostly concrete. Yes there is a lovely park adjacent to the campus, but the campus itself has no green and you have to cross streets, etc.</p>

<p>Brown is one they make look better than it is, as was mentioned many schools do. It is crisscrossed by highly trafficked streets, although the buildings and the homes in the area are historic and nice. I like Brown, but it doesn’t compare as a true campus to many of the others mentioned here.</p>

<p>Berkeley is a nice campus, but it does suffer from maintenance problems sometimes.</p>

31

<p>The McGill campus abuts Mont Royal park which is huge and beautiful. </p>

<p>There is green space on campus which they plan to increase: [Greening</a> the Lower Campus](<a href=“http://www.mcgill.ca/masterplan/lowercampus/]Greening”>http://www.mcgill.ca/masterplan/lowercampus/)</p>

<p>CalTech campus is beautiful. There is a very nice botanical garden nearby.</p>

33

<p>fallenchemist: Are you sure you visited McGill and not Concordia when you were in Montreal?, Concordia has the concrete campus, not McGill:

<p>Looks pretty green to me!</p>

34

<p>Slightly different advice … you said you’re looking for a highly selective school that is urban and where the leaves change color (meaning the northeast) … if you’re looking for a university there is no need to parse the list any further the while list is pretty short (there are about a dozen highly selective urban universities in the northeast) … if you’re looking at smaller schools then the list gets a lot longer.</p>

35

<p>Holy Cross has a nice looking campus in mid-size city.</p>

36

<p>Imho, the most beautiful urban campus is the Homewood campus of Johns Hopkins.</p>

37

<p>^True, it is hard to believe that you are in the middle of Baltimore.</p>

38

<p>

</p>

<p>Okay, the streets aren’t “highly trafficked”, and there aren’t that many. Most of the campus is pretty tightly bound together.</p>

<p>And if you’re going to point that out about Brown, Yale is the same way (not being negative, just pointing it out).</p>

39

<p>George Washington Uni</p>

40

<p>Depends on what kind of architecture you like. Personally, I would say University of Chicago</p>
