<p>For those of you who never leave the transfer fourm:</p>

<p>Which is more aesthetically pleasing, traditional colonial style red brick colleges, or Greco-roman concrete universities?</p>

<p>well i leave the transfer forum...but only for a couple of hours at a time (except when i'm sleeping).</p>

<p>to answer your question, I'd say Berkeley-style beats the hell out of UCLA-style. Red brick buildings get so boring...when I first saw Harvard, I was like, WTH! This is it? Lol. I'm more of a UPenn/Chicago kinda guy, but it's all a matter of opinion.</p>

<p>I would have to go with the concrete.</p>

<p>University of Chicago has, in my opinion, the best looking campus in America.</p>

<p>I like concrete better. </p>

<p>in many many years from now, concrete will still be up and standing while brick wears with time. </p>

<p>Cornell's campus has quite the variety of buildings, certainly not limited to only one style.</p>

<p>Here's a concrete example:

<p>Red brick:

<p>Chicago's, on the other hand, seems to be mostly gothic style.</p>
