| Cincy is GORGEOUS
Just found this thread, and I have to strongly object to the OP's position that the University of Cincinnati is ugly. Wow. I can only guess that he/she has not been to that campus in years. My son is in this second year there and he is having a fantastic experience (including a trip to the Orange Bowl, but I digress).
I think they've spent a ridiculous amount of money to do it, but the campus is phenomenal now. When touring that campus, there's not a bad view and several are breathtaking.
In addition, the school touts one of the top schools in the country (top three I believe) in architecture. The school of Design, Art, Architecture and Planning is very difficult to get into. And almost every building on campus was designed by a famous architect - the recent athletic building was done by an architect from Switzerland - so the entire campus is really a museum for real-life (not model) architecture.
"The spectacular revamp is one of the most significant acts of campus planning since Thomas Jefferson laid out his ‘academical village’ at the University of Virginia . . . in the early 19th Century.” -- The Chicago Tribune
