| UMD College park is really ugly along the metro line--but other parts aren't so bad. BUT, the whole College Park/Greenbelt area is pretty ghetto/run down.
Prettiest: Washington and Lee, UVA, Elon, Denison, Wooster, DePauw (I'm a little biased), WashU, and even Truman State.....but by far the prettiest is Furman University.
Ugliest: Ithaca, Ursinus, Ohio Wesleyan, Georgetown, George Washington, SLU. | |

| Pretty: Rice, especially in the spring, when the sky's blue and the azaleas are in bloom, and Stanford, as a lot of people'd mentioned before
Ugly: Who's seen Texas A&M? (Good lookin', if you like BEIGE. BEIGE, everywhere.... Beige boxes... I would go nuts for sure.) | |

| I personally think it's a horrible campus.
Wake Forest is by far the best looking campus I've seen. | |

| Thanks for the compliment on my undergrad alma mater..Furman of the massive rose garden, the dripping magnolias, the grand fountains, the trails and the lake. But better than that is the Pisgah Forest just up the road in North Carolina's most beautiful mountains, where you can meander through Saluda, Brevard and Hendersonville, Caesar Rock and Asheville. Furman delivers an outstanding access to a demanding liberal arts program, a fine faculty and fabulous facilities and Greenville/Spartanburg is growing like Charlotte and just up the road from Atlanta on 85. I would love to see more kids from other regions give it a chance as it has everything that most colleges dream of but national diversity in the student body. | |

| i haven't seen a lot of places that people have mentioned, but of ones that i've seen some of the prettiest are wake forest, holy cross, william & mary, boston college, and u of richmond. i especially liked richmond because of all the hills and trees. it's a nice contrast with the style of a lot of the southern schools (red brick, white columns)- although that can be quite pretty, like at wake forest, its nice to see something a bit different. | |
