Alaska, from most beautiful to ugliest:

University of Alaska Southeast
University of Alaska Fairbanks
University of Alaska Anchorage

The Southeast campus is a bunch of low-slung, aesthetic buildings in the middle of a rainforest.

The Fairbanks campus, while its architecture usually leaves something to be desired, is set on the classic "College Hill," with the whole of the Interior wilderness spread out behind it.

The Anchorage campus, as is typical for that part of Alaska, is a bunch of random buildings dropped in the middle of a suburb, surrounded by parking lots.

^^^ Rollins in Winter Park FL is very beautiful. St. Augustine is also nice, but it's only the size of a postage stamp. Lots of people also like UM.

I agree with JEZ21's analysis.

Flagler is nice, but tiny.
