Heinous

Anybody who wrote a post for Georgia and didn't include UGA under the "beautiful" section has obviously never seen UGA...

Johns Hopkins, U Maryland College Park, and U Maryland Baltimore County. These are pretty much the only 3 real colleges in my state.

Illinois
Beautiful:
Northwestern

Lake Forest College

Ugly:
UIC (although I read was looking at a book about college campuses once, and it actually praised UIC..)
Northeastern Illinois

I don't particularly like UIUC's campus, but I wouldn't call it ugly.
