Meh. That’s just a picture of a lake. The university building isn’t that special.

Wooster. There is a castle and the interior of the buildings/study books are interesting and beautiful. And the landscaping....so many trees and flowers (when it isn’t snow)

That is a good list, although I haven't seen Berry or Flagler. I think Princeton, Yale, Wellesley, Middlebury, and Richmond deserve mention.

Berry is beautiful. 2000+ acres, with main campus a combination of classic southern architecture and the old campus on the hill with a gothic castle. So many deer wandering about the place to be dangerous.

Sweet Briar is also quite beautiful.

Hood College in Frederick MD. Small little school, but beautiful campus. Really gorgeous in spring.

I have only seen Cornell once in the late fall, early winter, on a gray cloudy day, late in the afternoon. I thought it was dismal.

I did like Princeton.

Cornell is gorgeous in the early fall and late spring. Colby is quite nice as well.

For a lot of schools, it may depend on when you see them. You see pictures of University of Washington with blossoms an a view of Mount Rainier, but the blossoms aren't always blooming and you can't see Rainier on many days. UCLA on the other hand, doesn't have the greatest of architecture to my eye (the 1960s buildings, not the original buildings), but it usually gives a really pleasant vibe due to the nice weather.

Cornell has bad days, but it probably doesn't look quite as good on a dreary day when you are walking up a 20 degree incline in 30 degree weather to get a 40 on your engineering test.

Restate: Cornell <good> days, but it probably doesn't look quite as good on a dreary day when you are walking up a 20 degree incline in 30 degree weather to get a 40 on your engineering test.

I like West Point and Annapolis. CU Boulder is lovely. Washington University and Rice are very nice, organized campuses. Yale and Chicago have great architecture. Sewanee is a gem of a campus. William & Mary is lovely as well.

I don’t know anything about the school but whenever I’m in Newport and I do the cliff walk I think what a beautiful campus Salve Regina is.
