[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I honestly think its peer schools having much nicer campuses has an effect. Vassar is probably its closest peer and while Poughkeepsie is no great shakes either, that campus is gorgeous. Amherst is picturesque and in a lovely area, etc.[/quote]
Amherst is not a great example, and picturesque...really? It has some ugly buildings spread throughout campus, and I'd look at Smith for a central mass beautiful campus.

Wesleyan does suffer in that it has a very wonky campus layout- they really should move the baseball field and develop a nice quad there. They should find a way to tie together the buildings on top of the hill, and the ones below the hill, because the current design just feels like walking across various buildings from different campuses. Wesleyan actually has a few spectacular buildings and the occasional oddball that would be interesting on any other campus (their arts buildings for example, some may find them ugly, but they are pretty interesting and the theater is quite beautiful). Wesleyan isn't designed like most colleges, and that takes points off, because we don't expect to just have buildings sporadically thrown about.[/quote]
