the winners:

Wellesley -- beautiful landscaping -- love the rhododendrons, Collegiate Gothic architecture, bell tower, stunning modern Science Center, the lake

Middlebury -- the contrast between the rolling green hills and limestone buildings is calming; the view from the dining hall is to die for

University of Chicago -- amazing architecture -- from Collegiate Gothic to Brutalist and Post-Modern, plus Lake Michigan

Stanford -- Palm Drive and the Main Quad, set against the foothills in the background are stunning (the rest is meh)

honorable mention:

Dartmouth -- the setting in the White Mountains and Connecticut River Valley is beautiful, but the campus itself is in dire need of maintenance and renovation

I'm going to second the vote for Salve Regina - in Newport, RI on the Cliff Walk, with numerous Gilded Age mansions as classroom buildings, administration buildings and dorms. It's a pretty spectacular setting.

I think there's a real distinction between a beautiful natural location (Wisconsin - Madison) and a campus with beautiful buildings (UNC Chapel Hill). It's landscape vs landscaping.

Cornell has both.

I did, for the buildings and residential colleges alone. The variety and quality of the architecture there is stunning.
