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

And vice-versa.

For LACs, it's probably Williams.

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

Seriously for the LAC. Williams is just in such a gorgeous location. If the population was more 8-10k it’d be the top of DC’s list

Wellesley (heavily wooded—felt like Robin Hood would drop out of a tree at any moment)

Richmond (very clean and well-maintained; spouse said “This is what a college SHOULD look like”)

Indiana (trees perfectly interspersed with nice buildings)

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.

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!

You are from Tx but apparently never went there. I heard bad things about TTU and Lubbock, but the photos of TTU that I saw all looked nice. So a few months ago I was driving across the country & decided to take a look for myself.

The city is nice, no bad smell. Nice bars & restaurants adjacent to campus. The campus is very pretty, as nice as any large campus I’ve seen, and I’ve seen many. Beautiful architecture, nice landscaping etc. Just do a Google search & look at the photos if you don’t believe me.

You are a gullible lemming & let others do your thinking.

Missouri is pretty awesome. The people are very kind and friendly.

Maybe that is why you don't like the state?

You definitely are paying $$$$$$ for the view, but Northwestern U is one of the most beautiful universities we have ever visited.

The campus on the town side is gorgeous. Old, imposing, ivy covered stone buildings, beautiful landscape, expansive green space. Everything you think of when you picture a beautiful, traditional university.

But then, you get to the lakefront portion of the campus. Beachfront, running trails, grassy parks, and a million dollar view across the water of the Chicago skyline.

It was the only campus we visited where we could see why they were charging nearly 100K per year. The campus is just that nice.

DCUM just hates the insane UVA boosters. The school itself is fine.

On the LAC side, loved Kenyon. Gorgeous.

I really wonder if these people have been to many universities. DH went to Yale and I also thought New Haven and the Yale campus was a pretty awful place.

I can’t get over how ugly it is the second you step off campus.

My daughter applied to one school in MO. And that was only because it was close to the IL state line (Stl burbs) There was a second one that we liked (NOT near STL), and even though it was right on the river, the part of IL it was close to was very rural.

Thankfully, her best fit was in MA.
