[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally don’t like Duke’s campus

Or Virginia Tech’s[/quote]

You're an outlier whose views are likely shaped by something other that any sense of design or aesthetics.  So give yourself a cookie and move on. [/quote]

No, I really just don't like the look of the buildings. Find them depressing.

I get that other people have a different taste in campus building/architecture/aesthetics, and that was why I said this was a personal thing.

FWIW, not sure what is so wrong with UMD. They apparently don't like the brick or something?[/quote]

Maybe a bad pic but doesn't look that great to me.

I grew up in NC and everyone always talked about how ugly the Duke campus was. Everyone.[/quote]

This is ridiculous.  I was heavily recruited for athletics by most ACC schools.  On my Maryland visit, which had a great athletic program, the coaches knew I was going to visit Duke (along with UNC and UVA) the next week.  They warned me not to be impressed by the beauty of Duke's campus, or the forested trails in Duke Forest about a third of the size of Fairfax County.  Duke Gardens is absurdly beautiful, and one can throw a baseball from the Allen Building (the admin center) to the Gardens.  There's a lot to both dislike and like about Duke, one of the most contradictory schools in the nation with one of the most fascinating histories in existence (and not all positive either) but the Duke campus is beautiful.  I actually did not find the Gothic west campus all that appealing as it was dark in a sense (I ended up matriculating there), but East Campus had a laid back Georgian vibe that was pleasant.  The City of Durham is not something to write home about, but then again, neither is College Park.  The best college town I have been in is Ann Arbor - just so much to do and a national power academically.  [/quote]
