| Vanderbilt is GORGEOUS. also UVA, Tulane, and Emory, if you're interested in the south--VERY historical and beautiful campuses, typical ivy covered brick buildings and southern architecture (think Montecello).
Tufts, Brown, Mount Holyoke, Dartmouth, etc; all campuses with lots of hisotical value and your typical "northern school" feel.
Santa Clara, University of San Diego, and Stanford all have very charming and beautiful Mexican style architecture. |

| With respect to Rice, I heard the designers adopted many of the architectural cues from the Ivys and Stanford for their buildings. | |

| Princeton and Yale - beautiful : ).
U of Chicago - i've heard either the area or the campus itself isn't very attractive.
Stanford - I think it's very very pretty but personally find Gothic to have a little more mystique. | |

| Stanford has a BEAUTIFUL campus! i love it there. (my mom works there)
its also rated one of the safest campuses to live on (when you're around an area where the average house is more than 1million, and the city nearby has the number 1 highest-priced houses in the nation, average being 2.5 million, then you don't expect a lot of crime)
sorry, that was off-topic. but i just found it really interesting!! | |

| College Park and University of Maryland Eastern Shore, not to mention Coppin State (you can miss it if you blink) are horrible
Hopkins, Towson, St Johns and Columbia are the best. | |

| I'm going to UMD-college park this year and i dont see how you can say its ugly. it has lots of grass, nice brick buildings and more but ill stop with that. anyways, UVA and UNC were both very nice when i visited. Duke wasnt really attractive except for the main quad. | |

| We like to joke that Duke spends a ton of money trying to look old. Then again, they're our bitter archrivals.  | |

| I heard Yale poured acid on their buildings to make them look older. | |
