There are other campuses in Virginia that are prettier - UMW, JMU, and Virginia Tech come to mind.

I’ve never seen UMW but saying JMU (I-81 U) and VT are prettier than UVA is laughable.

No it isn't. Everyone is entitled to their view of what is pretty.

You clearly went to JMU to include it on any list of attractive campuses. It’s one of the ugliest I’ve ever seen. And no one thinks it’s attractive… I didn’t think JMU grads did until now.

Oh, yay - it's the usual JMU hating psycho. You've clearly never even been on campus. - DP

Here, let me help you with that:

JMU:


VT:

Conveniently not picturing the ugly dorms and other 70s and 80s architecture of JMU or the fact that an interstate highway cuts right through the middle of the campus.

Haven't been. Does Vassar have a lovely campus? I feel like the SLAC I've visited so far in Maine have been just okay.
We'll check out Vassar.

It’s the physical setting for several recent TV shows…Four Seasons on Netflix (Fall episode) and Sex Life of College Girls on Max.

I guess it’s the stand in for quintessential college campus.

+1
You'd think people could simply google, but I guess not.

The University of Arizona has a beautiful campus but it’s in Tucson.

Arizona State is in Tempe and it’s mostly concrete.

There's no correlation between anything you're saying.

You’ve never noticed that high priced schools generally have nice campuses?

Cause you ignore the low priced schools that also do.

Also, urban schools aren't ugly. Really nothing you said correlates. I'm not sure why you brought that $hit point up in the first place.

DP. They actually are.

No it isn't. Everyone is entitled to their view of what is pretty.

True! So many Americans very clearly find freeways pretty

They are still entitled. UVA is cut into quadrants by some busy roads and has train tracks. Duke has two campuses with a freeway dividing them. At Yale, you have to walk around a cemetery. Most schools have some flaws.

The campus is both small and massive...the actual campus students use is small and the buildings are just fine.

The campus is technically 27,000 acres but I don't get how it matters if there are rolling fields and beautiful lakes that are roughly 20,000 acres away from you that you will never visit.

The main campus is beautiful, but that acreage also includes mountain campus (and the nice scenery on the way there), not just woods. And students can certainly see the mill, the reservoir, Frost Chapel, wooded areas, etc.

Sewanee is similar. A pretty small campus sitting on a lot of scenic land.
