The University of Kansas main campus (in Lawrence) is actually quite beautiful

I agree about Kansas. I had the opportunity to drive around campus while there for a meeting and was quite impressed. Nice hills, beautiful and interesting architecture.

So SMU has manicured lawns and Wisconsin has unmanicured armpits.

DC didn't like the “mismatched” and crowded architecture at Princeton. Quite a few newer (but not the newest) buildings were truly ugly and detracted from the more beautiful parts. And it felt like they were squeezed in haphazardly. But we loved having Nassau Street right there, and the art/sculptures on campus were fantastic!

DC thought Duke was much prettier. Same Gothic architecture but laid out in quads with a more spacious feel. The newer buildings seem to mirror the Gothic style in modern and interesting ways, and didn’t feel crammed in. And the gardens are gorgeous! Downside is no cute town within walking distance (except off of the Freshman campus on East - which also very pretty with completely different architecture than the main campus.)

Duke's campus is separated by a freeway.

We thought of them as two separate campuses. Each is self-contained and beautiful - and an easy shuttle bus ride to the other when needed.

It is not a freeway - I ran Campus Drive easily a thousand times and mostly it was bus traffic and I often ran on the road. How anyone could be so inaccurate is a mystery.

Any map will show you Duke East and West are separated by the Durham Freeway.

Again what a dumb comment. Campus Drive goes underneath the freeway. Have you ever been to Duke?

Why are you attempting to deflect something that is so readily apparent? There is a freeway that separates East and West campuses. Yes, there is a road that connects the campuses, but the campuses are not contiguous. This is not different from other schools like JMU, where there is an interstate dividing its east and west campus. I didn't claim you had to risk your life dodging cars and trucks to traverse from one to the other.

You can spend years on Campus Drive and never know the freeway exists. Again, don’t be stupid. I probably ran 1500 miles on Campus Drive - something you clearly did not do - and know every inch of it.
