<p>All the schools on your list that I have seen have a “distinct campus” … Amberst, Cornell, Georgetown, Georgia Tech, MIT, Bucknell, Stanford, Swarthmore, Tufts, Chicagao, Vasser, Williams, and Vanderbilt. UCLA, and Michigan. MIT is a bit of an outlier as it has a very defined campus but I would describe it as far from a classic campus … not a lot of places where you walk out of class onto the squad and sit under a tree and read a book and watch an ultimate frisbee game … there is a lot of green space but it tends to be on the edges of campus as opposed to the middle (it is a somewhat cramped urban campus). UCLA and Michigan stand out among the schools I’ve seen also … they definitely have wonderful campuses; they are just huge … especially compared to Amherst, Williams, and Swarthmore.</p>
