Huh?

University of Cambridge

Which constituent college? Some are ugly.

They have 31. If you pick one at random, the odds are it will be very, very nice.

That’s not helpful.

Trinity, Kings, St. John's, Corpus Christi, Peterhouse, Gonville and Caius . . .

People hane said Yale is supposed to be gorgeous. Maybe so in Yale promotional brochures and videos. But not so in this random police video when the dorm was caught without the make up.

I love the UNC campus, but I don't know how it compares to these other schools.

I've visited all of them. Cornell has nicest scenery on good days, but the campus and architecture itself don't quite match it. Wake Forest and Notre Dame are probably the most consistent and best kept. Wake is kind of drab to my eye, though. UNC is best integrated into the town, and has some charm, but it has grown a lot and seems to have had a lot of its space filled in by construction. Duke has nice areas like the Gothic campus and the gardens, but it is too spread out (one part of campus is a bus ride away) and seems to have a lot of parking and construction as well. UVA has a nice central part around the Lawn, but is really inconsistent as you move away from it.

Not sure how I'd rank them. I think Wake is my least favorite of these (but it is nice).

Notre Dame is pristine.

I don't think you meant to use that word, Notre Dame mom. Clean and fresh are not words usually used to describe a campus

I agree. The colleges along the River Cam are pretty much all beautiful.

Oh, no, I did mean to use that word. Note: other definition for pristine: in its original condition; unspoiled. synonyms: immaculate, in perfect condition, perfect, in mint condition, as new, unspoiled, spotless, flawless, clean, fresh, new, virgin, pure, unused

Think Notre Dame vs. Georgetown. ND is "pristine."

Thanks PP. Obviously there is a poster that clearly despises The Notre Dame mom.

Who would want to go to a "pristine" campus?

Yale dorm does look like an outhouse here. I guess a student shouldn’t believe in all the promo videos they put out.

The exteriors are exquisite. But New Haven is dangerous.

Yes, this ND alum who finds her bragging posts embarrassing to the institution: "Ta ta now, have a nice day. I know I will!". I had hoped she would go away after her DS started there. Some parents know how to behave on this site. Others don't.

[Anonymous]

^^ I think she's the one who called Notre Dame "The Catholic Ivy" on another thread. So now we have big Ivies, lesser Ivies, public Ivies, Cornell as a separate entity and "Catholic Ivies". Ugh

[Anonymous]

^^There's that ND basher sock puppeting once again. And I doubt this is an ND alum...probably didn't even attend any college.

Notre Dame is pristine.

Do you mean the grounds are well kept? The campus is nothing special, apart from Touchdown Jesus (the main buildings are certainly unexceptional).

Clearly your only exposure to the Notre Dame campus is through watching the games on NBC.
