Texas Tech & Oklahoma State (surprisingly)

OMG! You did not just say Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas is a beautiful university!!! It has been rated as the most heinous Universities by several different publications including Sports Illustrated.

On a good day, the smell from the cattle feed lots sits on the ugliest campus in the US all day! Nothing quite like it in the US!!!!!

Go see it for yourself, dipshit.

I drove through Massachusetts as a teenager and stopped to drive around the campus of Mt. Holyoke. I was 18 and about to go away to college myself but I fell in love with the campus. I sent away for the brochure and looked at it all of the time. I didn't apply because it was way too expensive and I didn't want to burden my single parent mother.

Cornell is absolutlys stunning, Oddly, Penn State was there as one of the most attractive campuses we toured. Wake Forrest and UNC were also at the top of our kids beautiful campuses list. Texas was a wonderful place nut my kid found it to be a giant school. Loved the campus but just too much.

for reference, hated NC State and Syracuse. Whatever. To each their own!

Did you just call me "dipshit"? You are funny! I grew up in Texas and Texas Tech might be the armpit of America! Do you deny the fact that the smell of the the cattle feed Loys always rests on campus? Do you deny the fact that Texas Tech has continously has been named as one of the ugliest campuses in the US? Show me something otherwise!

Here’s some more on Texas Tech. A number of years ago, Sports Illustrated published a huge issue on college football and included such evaluations as “best band”, “best cheerleaders”, etc, etc . One item was “ugliest campus” and Texas Tech got the award. Of course, SI got a slew of letters from disgruntled Texas Texh supporters. In response, SI decided to revisit the matter of “ugliest campus” and, after it did that, stated once again that Texas Tech had the worst looking campus in the USA. It is hideous.

Rollins College in Winterpark, Florida

Just gorgeous. I don’t understand why this college isn’t more popular.

Actually the campus itself is not attractive at all, although the location is stunning and the “vibes” are carefree and happy.

It must be because UVA is one of the most unattractive campuses I’ve ever seen. I just don’t get the love for that one. Good school, but definitely not a beautiful campus.

If you just drive through UVA, it doesn't give the best impression. You have to walk around the Lawn area.

I was at UVA this week for orientation. Campus is beautiful.

My kid (OOS) adored UVA campus, and I thought it was quite beautiful. I see people on DCUM disparaging UVA; I can’t wrap my head around that.

It's bitterness because it is so difficult now to get into; it's relatively small compared to other flagships; and some parents (like us) are sad their kid isn't even a contender so there's no point in even applying. And sometimes the nasty comments are from students at rival schools: VT and UMD

For university campuses, UCLA is an easy winner for me.

For LACs, it's probably Williams.

For university environments, I'll join the chorus on UC Santa Cruz. Love the redwoods.

Yes, Princeton is absolutely gorgeous in the fall.

Princeton and Yale will always be my top two in terms of campus beauty: Yale for the beauty of individual buildings and Princeton for the overall campus appeal.
