The concrete buildings are more grand, but brick buidings give a campus a much more inviting feel. But I'm partial to Gothic style buildings instead of Greco-Roman/Colonial.

Yeah, I'll second Gothic as my favorite university architectural style.

Eh, both UCLA and Berkeley are in areas prone to earthquakes, and needless to say, Berkeley was way smarter than UCLA to outfit buildings with concrete than brick...

Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah 
/But no really, all of UCLA's have been seismically rehabilitated so it's a non-issue.

I don't know, gothic architecture seems too prison-like.

Gothic architecture, I think, is MUCH more impressive in person. I wasn't blown over by the style until I saw it myself.
I'd take Gothic over concrete and brick, but if I had to choose between the latter two, I'd go with concrete.

They don't count. J/K. But seriously I don't know of many colleges with steel buildings. Unless it's like a medical center or something...

Hmm...definitely brick.
This is a non-issue for Cal and UCLA, but in the winter, when it's cold and the snow is all gross and brown, gothic and concrete just looks amazingly depressing. Whereas cute little brick buildings in the snow reminds me of Christmas cards...
