The main quad is a perfect example of awe-inspiring collegiate Neogothic. Some modern buildings such as the GSB look fantastic but others such as the Brutalist styled Regenstein library are hideous.

No matter how many times I walked across the quad, I couldn't get used to the incredible Gothic architecture. I took so many pictures. The seminary co-op, too, is how my house is going to look.

Amazing campus - large and busy. Many bldgs old, but in a good way; lots of atmosphere. Science bldgs newer than humanities. Grounds very nice, but Chicago winters may negate impact.

Ivy! But some construction. Quad! Modeled after Oxford? Somethign like that. Max Palevsky is more modern and orange and an eye sore, sure, but nobody cares because they all like it as a dorm.

Beautiful campus, great access to the city.What I really like was the way the desks were positioned in most rooms: in a rectangular alignment with empty space in the center. Perfect for discussions.

The campus is beautiful. Lots of green space, gothic architecture, spiffy new facilities, mature trees...everything I think of when I think "college." Very harry potter-ish.

So green! And so many little places to get lost in! Random towers and balconies everywhere! Gargoyles looking like they're about to eat you! Ducks in Botany Pond! And... the weather cooperated!

It's a beautiful campus in an urban environment. The old buildings are really lovely and there are more trees and other plants than I would have imagined.

Beautiful campus... Gothic architecture, apparently campus was designated a national botanical garden.

It's full of mostly gothic architecture with a few odd buildings like Max P. Random scaffolding is always around, emergency phone booths are everywhere.

Gourgeous Gothic buildings, lots of grass and space to study, and surprisingly large for a city school. This is what a university should look like!

Gothic buildings, other cool buildings. Green areas with cool architecture made a great feel altogether. Not what you expect of a city campus.

Everything was clean and in order, but it's no secret that Chicago is in a very poor neighborhood. Emergency phonebooths were everywhere, which i
