Vassar is such a a pretty campus.

I like the person in the comments who accused the video of which college campuses is prettier of being biased 🤣. Of course it’s literally what one person think.

My favorite is Elon. But I’m entirely biased.

I like campuses that are unique and do not generally look like others. Note I am leaving out the college town aspects, just the campuses:

Stanford - the architecture, frescoes and color scheme are unique
Miami (FL) - landscaping, light-colored buildings, water in the center of campus and rows of palm trees
Princeton/Duke/Vassar/other SLACS - for the old school semi-gothic appearance of the halls and chapels
CU Boulder - the sandstone used for the buildings is unique

Be consistent.

East and West are a mile or so apart. I don't think the freshman campus is great. The gardens are pretty.

Looks nice. But too spread out to be convenient. Campuses with sprawl (or excessive hills or excessive crime) should have points deducted because they aren’t user friendly.

For a university of its size, Princeton isn't spread out at all, apart from the graduate college and the research center. It's an ideal college campus for undergraduates.

What a bunch of subjective nonsense. Princeton is tiny compared to schools like Stanford. You either like it or don't. Nothing "ideal" to do with anything.

You certainly worked yourself up into a tizzy quickly. Maybe step back and realize that every single post on this thread is an opinion.

Pepperdine is California glam.
Princeton is Ivy preppy.
Mount Holyoke oozes New England charm.

Glam? The campus sucks. I'd put Berkeley, UCLA, and the Claremont Colleges above pepperdine. It's pretty clear that it is mediocre, if you can get over Malibu.
