There are quite a few. Some of my favorites are Hamilton, Rhodes, Sewanee, and Carleton. Probably Rhodes overall.

I'm biased, but I'll go with Berkeley. The trees, the flowing water that runs through campus, strawberry canyon and the great, old buildings just do it for me. BTW, stanford looks like a big taco bell.

It's pretty hard to choose if you haven't been to all of them.

Time of year when visiting makes a difference as well. I always get a kick out of the school websites and brochures that show beautiful green campuses with lush vegetation, when for most of the year its is a leafless barren area covered in snow and ice.

Duke. Gothic architecture. 8000 acres of forest. Sarah Duke Gardens. A Robert Trent Jones golf course that rivals Pinehurst.

Prettiest campus = wouldn't know

ONE of the prettiest (IMO) = Princeton University and when I visited Yale, I thought it was pretty as well.

I love Duke dearly, but I wouldn't say it has the nicest campus. Nice architecture, yes, but not the most beautiful campus.

I second Sewanee and Furman, but Berry College gets the prize. Swarthmore, Cornell, William & Mary, Elon, College of the Atlantic, and Warren Wilson also have very beautiful campuses.
