You think Cal is beautiful?  Are you nuts?  I live nearby and go there a lot.  It’s very gritty. There is a lot to love about it, but beautiful is not a word I would ever use.[/quote]

Cal is an honorable mention IMO.  Yes, the city of Berkeley is certainly very gritty, especially Telegraph, but the campus itself is not.  I think the area around Strawberry Creek is very serene and picturesque, along with the area leading up from University Ave, I believe it is the Eucalyptus grove.  The campus has a park-like setting and many of the buildings have architectural significance, i.e., obviously the Campanile and Doe Library.  The views from top of the campus afford amazing views of SF, the Golden Gate Bridge and the Marin headlands.  What is not to like!?  Compared to UCLA's campus, Cal's is much nicer.  The area above the stairs near Royce Hall at UCLA is the only part of that campus that is interesting and appealing.  [/quote]
