[quote=Anonymous]This is really about architecture and buildings, rather than campuses. It's largely an indictment of architecture in the 60s. Most schools have a building or two added during that period that doesn't really fit with the rest of campus and isn't considered attractive today, so it's not surprising that schools founded during that era or that underwent a significant expansion during then are prominent on the list. Frankly, if you complain about the rising costs of college, then you should want campuses that don't worry so much about aesthetics. It's little surprise that many of these were built as satellite campuses of state schools designed to serve a rapidly growing baby boom student population as cheaply as possible. Including a community college is particularly egregious, since the last thing a CC student should care about is the beauty of a campus they won't live on and won't stay at very long.[/quote]
