UCSD is in a great location, but the campus itself is not very good looking. San Diego State’s campus is very nice. UCLA is stunning.

I’ll add a few more:
Indiana University
Pepperdine
University of Oregon
University of Arizona
USC
University of Maryland

Beautiful campus

How does one define 'beautiful campus'? If for the sake of comparison, we remove the geographical location/surrounding areas outside the campus, which often influences our opinion, which are the beautiful campuses?

To be honest, I find each campus has its own charm and beauty. These are reflected in the academic buildings, different special interest sites like museum,church, the green part of the campus/the garden and the trees, and many more things. I have found most of the campuses are beautiful. How does one, for ex., define the campuses of Princeton, Duke, WashU, Stanford, UVa, Cornell, Pepperdine, Indiana? These names are picked up from the previous posts, and I have visited them

I would appreciate unbiased replies.

Stanford. There's simply a large amount of greenery without making the damn place foresty (aka UCSC) and the weather's pretty nice.

All 3 San Diego schools have great campuses, although I personally think that USD's is much nicer than SDSU and UCSD. Pepperdine and Boston College are great ones as well.

Out of all the UC's Santa Cruz has the most beautiful CAMPUS. But rating the campus in accordance to the surrounding area it would be either UCSD or UCSB.

Loyola College in Maryland

Any new construction has been built with the similiar style of facade. It looks absolutely beautiful, you would never know that there has been new construction. Slight variations to each building, but it maintains the atmosphere.
I would have put Georgetown in this list, but the library is absolutely horrid. It totally ruins what is a beautiful campus and river/skyline view.

Stanford will remain the most beautiful campus I've ever seen.
