What is the ugliest building you've seen on a college campus?

All of Harvey Mudd is pretty ugly. Neo Classical Gothic.

The Social Sciences building at UC Davis, or as students call it the "Death Star". It is essentially a giant cement prison. I can't describe the shape, you just need to see for yourself.

I went there too, and it’s boring and generic brick buildings, but not notably ugly. Just standard-issue college campus.

Any academic library built in the 1970s.

Bryn Mawr’s Erdman. The only thing uglier and more depressing than the outside…


…is the inside:

UIC is notable for its brutalist architecture. It's extra special on a slushy, cloudy February day.

Frostburgs gym was heinous when I was there once in 2000. Very 70s orange and green.

I was just in Saratoga Springs and this is true. We drove around campus and couldn’t get over how ugly it was. Nice downtown, though.


Makes me feel better about my kid’s decision to go elsewhere (she got accepted but COVID mucked up our chances to visit, so we’ve never seen it in person). Thanks, PPs!

Are they really repurposed oatmeal silos or do they just look like that?
