<p>Stanford, UVA, Duke, and Pton come to mind for being pretty</p>
<p>I like Lehigh's mountain top as well</p>
<p>Ann Arbor is awesome in the winter time.</p>
<p>William & Mary and Tufts University both have gorgeous suburban campuses.</p>
<p>If you like beautiful wilderness desolation, Middlebury wins</p>

<p>Well...Some civilization is good =).
Now everything seems harder...there're so many beautiful campuses!</p>
<p>From the ones I have been to:</p>
<p>Best: UVA (especially the lawn), SMU (especially Bishop Boulevard), Colorado (unmatched in natural beauty...period), Duke, Georgetown </p>
<p>Worst: Texas A&M (nice if you like beige), Colorado State (they seriously need a new architect)</p>
<p>Best: Emory (Claremont Campus feels like a country club)
Worst: Ohio State by far</p>
<p>The most dramatic in the East: Cornell
The most dramatic in the West: UC-Boulder</p>
<p>I've been to UC Berkeley and I suddenly fell in love with the place and the people. Though the visit was very short I haven't really had the time to roam around the whole area. I will put it number 1 in my list. I also went to visit Rice and it's also a wonderful campus. It has similarities with Stanford although I find it more "homey" and better. Cambridge is wonderful too. I didn't like Oxford.</p>
<p>Cambridge is in a class by itself. If you enjoy colleges, you MUST visit it. In the U.S., Furman, Virginia, and Dartmouth are all pretty stunning. As for the Gothic types, when I was at Boston College, walking back to the dorm on silent winter nights with snow all over, nobody around, and the Boston skyline twinkling on the horizon, I would often stop and just touch the exterior of beautiful Gasson Hall.</p>
<p>The Stanford/Rice look is aesthetically pleasing, but it makes me want to wack a pinata and guzzle a Carona, not read The Critique of Pure Reason. Gothic architecture seems especially appropriate for colleges, as its lines are all pointing and reaching upward.</p>
<p>I also don't get the beauty of Berkeley, and I've spent a lot of time at Williams, and although the town is cute and the mountains are wonderful, I don't get the beauty of the acutal campus...especially some of the modern monstrosities they built in the 1960s.</p>
<p>Yale
Princeton
Vassar
Columbia
Williams</p>
<p>I absolutely despise Northwestern's campus, i think it really is just not asthetically nice or logistically appealing.</p>

UCSB is gorgeous. It's right next to San Francisco and the california weather is absolutely amazing.

<p>You're kidding right?</p>
<p>Anyway Wesleyan is really pretty...they spent like zillions of dollars renovating like every building on campus (and building new ones)</p>
<p>I agree. Anyone who has not been to Wesleyan in the last few years is in for a surprise. It's gone from one of the least pretty to one of the top three or four most attrative LACs in New England; the others being Amherst, Trinity and Middlebury IMHO.</p>
<p>I haven't visited many colleges, but I think Columbia has a pretty campus although the neighborhood isn't too nice looking.</p>
<p>U of Washington, Princeton, Rice, and Northwestern</p>
<p>i love the feeling that comes with walking into the columbia campus, coming from the bustling city into this green expanse. nonetheless i dont think its the most beautiful. that title would have to go to yale.</p>

<p>Swarthmore's conspicuously missing from that list.</p>
<p>And just to put in more support for Princeton...

<p>I've only been to UC Berkeley. It's a nice campus.</p>
<p>University of Michigan is really nice and green but the real selling point is that gigantic cube thing people can turn around.</p>
