Maybe i toured the wrong residential college, but I didn’t find Saybrook or Pauli Murray nice. Just a difference in personal tastes I’m sure, not like the kids are suffering.
What have you seen that is nicer than Saybrook or Pauli Murray?
The other elite colleges DD toured at and enjoyed: Uchicago, Princeton, Berkeley

If a college wasn't founded in the 1800s or earlier, chances are it shouldn't be on this list. There are always exceptions but generally newer schools like JMU just don't have charm.
DP. Totally disagree. It’s a lovely campus.
Lovely like GMU or Christopher Newport, maybe. Not lovely like older schools. Have you toured LACs, even the ones in VA like Richmond and W&L? I guess it's a taste thing but there are places with much more classic looks.
Agree to disagree. I found W&L to be pretty, but wasn’t impressed with Richmond. A school doesn’t have to be old to be beautiful.
Agree

Agreed! Just look, for example, at their crappy libraries! 🙄
Are you willing to show the office park angles all across northwestern?
I don’t know how the other poster didn’t like Columbia, but god northwestern is super ugly if you don’t like glass everywhere.
