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...

Spectacular

Very nice. But I like IU campus better than ND.

Elon U. The joke was that the grass was spray painted but up was just so darn pretty.

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.

We met some of the nicest students from there one afternoon when we ended up in old St Mary’s City randomly. We were the only people there and the students were excavating a site of a colonial era house. They let my son help them and dig up some pieces of pottery. They were so knowledgeable and nice. It is a pretty campus too.

IU is very nice, but ND has much more to offer in terms of architecture and just pure aesthetics.

Notre Dame has Touchdown Jesus and that’s about it. Otherwise it is bland.

Huh? Catholics built beautiful churches in Europe and drab universities in the United States.

Many local Catholics prefer Chestnut Hill to South Bend Indiana for college.
