Most beautiful college campus?

[Anonymous]

Many of those schools that seem gorgeous in mid-October are positively dreary from late November through mid March. Since most academic years run September through April or early May, I'd prefer a campus that is beautiful throughout the year.

Which is why you'd need to choose Duke over the Ivies.

But Stanford over any Ivy - though weather is just one reason.

Just visited Stanford with D and I have to say it took my breath away. Just gorgeous and the weather didn't hurt

It would be a tough choice, but I'd still go with the Ivy. Their traditions would trump the beautiful weather for me. Attending a school that John Adams or JFK or Woodrow Wilson or Obama attended would mean more than going to the alma mater of Herbert Hoover.

You pick your schools based on where dead people went?

IMHO Stanford is head and shoulders above the Ivies because of it's location - not the weather though. Stanford is in the heart of Silicon Valley and an apex of the Pacific Triangle: Stanford Grads are creating the future. Only Harvard has produced grads that even approach those of Stanford in recent years - and it isn't really that close. Bill and Hillary knew enough to ignore their legacy and send Chelsea to Stanford.

And yet apparently it isn't producing grads, or fans, who can compose a grammatically correct sentence or two.

Another vote for the colleges at Oxford. Scripps, yes. Pomona, no. pepperdine, yes. Harvard & Yale, yes. Gettysburg = no (just flat and the old freshman cinderblock dorms stank!).
