[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only on DCUM can a campus be criticized for being nice looking. [/quote]

For me, the odd feeling at CNU comes from the fact that everything was either built or extensively renovated at the same time, so there’s an almost jarring uniformity that you don’t see on other campuses that were built up over centuries. It’s like someone really got into the college campus aesthetic and added a few too many cupolas and archways so that it feels like a theme park version of a campus.

Plus that it’s plopped down in Newport News, which is not exactly known for its uniform opulence. It’s just feels weird there.[/quote]

+1 my DD had a negative reaction to the CNU campus too. Overly pristine and manicured with no soul (in her opinion). She much preferred the UMW campus. [/quote]

We also visited the UMW campus and she liked it, but ultimately did not apply there.[/quote]

I have heard multiple people use the word creepy about the campus, but I have not been. In the pictures another PP shared, it looks similar to what I have seen in some buildings at UVA. I guess the difference being that that happened organically and not planned to look like an old southern campus. [/quote]

NP here. I'll get some hate for this but we liked UMW's campus better than UVA. Thought it was prettier. [/quote]

That's fine. No issues with that. I'm the PP who made the comment - intended to be about CNU being creepy but I see that the last response was about UMW, so it looks like I was talking about UMW.[/quote]
