West Coast

Other (can be another country, a place that doesn't fit any category like Texas, etc)

West Coast: Pepperdine
East Coast: University of Maryland-College Park
Midwest: U of Chicago

UMD-College Park? You need to travel more. A lot more.

The quad is really beautiful and the buildings are a nice uniform brick. It’s an unexpected green oasis in a schlumpy suburban area.

It is easy for a campus to be beautiful when the have ivy endowments and nice locations by the beach and mountains. But UMd does unexpected beauty so well.

UMBC so ugly though

Agreed. It is a nice looking university. Definitely not ugly.

West: UCSC — agree with the PP that it is breathtaking and prettier than UCSB (although both campuses seem determined to destroy the natural beauty through horrific building decisions, so we will see how long that lasts).

Northwest: Hasn’t been mentioned as a region, but Lewis & Clark is spectacularly beautiful

East: Cornell

Midwest: Notre Dame

It is nice looking in parts but the density and constant construction are a negative. The biggest drag-College Park itself is a dump

West coast HAS to be Berkeley and UW-Seattle.

Both have the most incredible juxtapositions. UW has a beautiful Gothic architectural style and there are pictures online of the cherry blossoms, Drumheller fountain, and Mt. Rainer lining up perfectly. Berkeley's neoclassical core is also really nice and there's a beautiful view of the Golden Gate from Campanile Way on the campus. Since the campus is also on a hill, there are great views of the bell tower, San Francisco skyline, and Mt. Tamalpais (search up Grizzly Peak in the Berkeley hills).

Swarthmore (in season), felt like I was in a movie
Parts of Yale were beautiful
The quad at Chicago was surprisingly lovely too
The mountains behind Amherst and Williams were also gorgeous.
Have not been to S and West coast colleges

I’m sorry, but Berkeley is a huge dump.

Kenyon is beautiful but some of those old buildings look spooky as hell.
