The MSU campus is sprawling. It can take an hour to walk between classes. My nephew complains because the buses are crowded. He bikes, even in the winter, because he has to. Not saying the CU campus isn’t also somewhat sprawling. Just that it makes it sound like things are close together and the weather is great for walking at MSU. Neither is true.
Also, “beautiful” isn’t really true for MSU, at least not compared to the setting of CU. There are certainly less attractive campuses than MSU, but it is no great shakes in terms of beauty. CU really is.
