[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Harvard’s 1st year dining hall, Annenberg, is pretty magnificent - they aren’t taking you inside on the tours [/quote]

I've visited Harvard a few times and I am always underwhelmed with the campus. I did get to check out the renovated Museum which was very impressive and spectacular but the overall campus has never done it for me. [/quote]

It must be Cambridge, MA.  If you look at Harvard's closest global competitors, Stanford, MIT, Yale, Princeton, Oxford, and Cambridge University, all are generally renowned for campus beauty except for Harvard and MIT.[/quote]

And Harvard has only had about 400 years to do something about it. But its origins are as a Puritan school, which didn’t really value aesthetics. And no one subsequently wanted to change that. So it remains a very plain school.

I think generally, universities that did their most substantial building in the late 19th and early 20th centuries are the most pleasing to the eye today. [/quote]
