<p>Anywhere except the South and far West.</p>

2

<p>I have heard Indiana University - Bloomington is really nice.</p>

3

<p>not sure if this is too far south for you, but I have always liked UVa's campus.....very historic feel to it.......plus they have a great soccer program</p>

4

<p>I like University of Vermont... lots of green.</p>

5

<p>I would think University of Vermont has lots of white too :)</p>

6

<p>UVa sure looks beautiful! Haven't visited, but it was the only public I applied to. The pictures look lovely</p>

7

<p>UNC-CH has a really nice campus.
Surprisingly I've heard TCNJ is very nice as well...</p>

8

<p>University of Mississippi...not exactly my cup of tea but definitely a pretty place</p>

9

<p>here's another one of my favorites.......west, but not far west....Colorado School of Mines.......small state school w/ great rep in technical areas. In Golden, Colorado in the foothills west of Denver. Nice small campus with a decidedly western feel, plus the "short tour" (tasting area) of the Coors brewery is only a walk away. I wouldn't call the campus itself as exceptionally beautiful, but the surroundings & ambiance are.</p>

<p>UVa was definitely my favorite campus that I have visited by far.</p>

12

<p>I'll second Indiana.</p>

13

<p>Uva!!!</p>

<p>....</p>

14

<p>Miami of Ohio should be on the list</p>

15

<p>M of O's not public though, right?</p>

16

<p>btw, upon review of the thread link I posted earlier, UVa seems to dominate the positive mentions for a public institution</p>

17

<p>UVA and UCLA</p>

18

<p>Miami of Ohio is most definetely public I can assure you :)</p>

19

<p>you learn something new everyday (especially on CC).....just checked their web site and its described as a "state assisted" university.</p>

<p>LOL, with exception of a few like UVA, the best public campuses are far west, University of Washington, UCLA, UCSD, University of Arizona. Most nrotheast campuses are ragged or unconvincing.</p>
