<p>Sorry, those links go to a traditional map of Amherst. </p>
<p>Discussions about architecture and the college campus have been had many times before (and UVa folks are always interested in them, in light of our history :)). I just wanted to point out that the Bing map is buggy.</p>
<p>well, let’s talk about Amherst.
I think it too is an example of another college that has followed the red-brick road once or twice too often. But, so have Hopkins: [Bing</a> Maps](<a href=“johns hopkins - Bing Maps”>johns hopkins - Bing Maps)
and Colby: [Bing</a> Maps](<a href=“colby college - Bing Maps”>colby college - Bing Maps)
IMO.</p>
<p>DunninLA:</p>
<p>I went in April, 'cause my S had been accepted and we wanted to visit to help him make a decision. There were no leaves on the trees, but it wasn’t really cold. It was kind of windswept, and we had to litterally walk around for hours (as you know, Cornell is BIG,) but it was easy to picture how it would look in the summer and autumn. The facilities were beautiful, and very impressive. Wow. It was hard for me not to push my S into going there. The stadium, the new buildings and the old, the skating rink, the gyms, everything was great in every way. Some buildings seemed like my mental image of Hogwarts.</p>
<p>In addition to its beautiful gothic west campus, the Duke campus includes the amazing Sarah Duke Gardens and a championship golf complex few if any schools can match.</p>
<p>“where is the snow belt?”</p>
<p>“Well-known snowbelt sections exist southeast of Lake Erie from Cleveland, Ohio to Buffalo, New York and south of Lake Ontario stretching roughly from Rochester, New York, to Utica, New York, and northward to Watertown, New York.” </p>
<p>[Snowbelt</a> - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowbelt]Snowbelt”>Snowbelt - Wikipedia)</p>
<p>Ithaca is not in the snow belt.</p>

<p>My personal favorite of the bunch is Emory because it is so different from the others…beautiful marble buildings (yes, the buildings, not just the trim!), gorgeous gardens and lawns and quads.</p>
<p>There are many beautiful campuses. But which are located in the best college towns?
My vote is for Cornell - an idyllic campus set in a wonderful college town.</p>
<p>I absolutely loved Brown’s campus. Ah, I wish I had never visited that college! It got my hopes up for no reason at all.</p>
