<p>I don’t agree with your consensus at all. You completely left out UCB which is widely regarded as being one of the most beautiful campuses. I also wouldn’t rate the campus of UCSB over UCD. The beauty of the campus is one of UCD’s true high marks. The setting of UCSB is lovely as evidenced by the pictures you supplied. The campus not so much. There is a difference. Both UCSC and UCSD have very pretty settings too. You need to distinguish between setting and campus.</p>
