+1! |
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 |
Cornell. |
Williams, Yale and Princeton. |
University of the South - Sewanee |
UNC Chapel Hill
Princeton 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. |
Who said Yale? Gross! |

I stand by my earlier post about Scripps. Just stunning. |

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. |
University of Richmond |
I did, for the buildings and residential colleges alone. The variety and quality of the architecture there is stunning. |
YOu have got to see Washington & Lee....its breathtaking. |
