Who hates SUNY schools? I haven’t seen that.

I do think the campus of SUNY Binghamton is fugly, but it’s still a great school.

They aren't hated, but a lot of the construction took place in the 1960s with modern architecture that hasn't held up well over time.

Villanova is a bunch of concrete. The church is beautiful and the bridge they just built, but that's the extent of it.

Well, one building is nice. But that certainly doesn't justify a #1 ranking or anything even close. With so many of these rankings I wonder if they have every even seen the campuses. They could just be dispatching an intern to do internet searches and come back with a list.

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


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."

Stanford University’s pristine campus is located in California’s Bay Area, about 30 miles from San Francisco. . .


LOL...ND is pristine both close up and from a distance...

Any place where you can check out a sailboat with a student ID sounds pretty amazing. And the price tag looks as good as the view. Gonna try to get my sophomore to take a closer look when the time comes.
