Ugliest Campuses and Prettiest Campuses

I think that Bucknell has a pretty campus and Drexel has one of the most ugliest ones.

GT is quite ugly - one of the few places which make brick look bad. MIT is just awful.

Williams is gorgeous... Dartmouth is lovely... William and Mary, Washington and Lee, Wellesley (except for the science building), some of Harvard (too urban and not enough trees for my taste), Columbia are all lovely.

I've never heard of Bucknell being floated around as among the prettiest...huh.

I think the colonial town feel of Dartmouth, the gothic architecture of Yale, and Williams in general are really beautiful. Several California schools' Spanish/Western buildings also have their charms...

Yale has a very pretty campus. I've heard that some people consider it the most beautiful campus in America.

Duke has the most beautiful campus I've ever seen. I'm sure many others agree with that, I think it's been mentioned in the Princeton Review for having one of the best campuses, among other things.

Nope, I go to Harvard, which has a lovely campus as well, but with a different sort of architecture than Duke and fewer sunny days. Yale's campus is also gorgeous.

Rice and Harvard are the most beautiful I have seen, but I have not seen much. Georgetown is also quite nice, but for some reason it is not maintained well.

I like how Harvard blends with Cambridge; the ambience that emanates from the area is ineffable.

Edit: Oh, and Baylor and the University of Houston are terrible.

Hopkins is very nice if you like red brick.

Stanford and Santa Clara University have BEAUTIFUL campuses.
