Trigger warning: UVA does rank
Yale being on the list immediately discredits it. New Haven drags everything down.
Yale is lovely. Perhaps best architecture on any U.S. campus.
It looks great. But when I learned all the residential colleges were built in the early 30s - with the exteriors of some then even intentionally aged to look more historic - it diminished the appeal to me, made it seem a little like Epcot or something, with faithful but faux recreations.
Harvard's houses of the same period are neo-Georgian. You could say the same for so many other schools. Why pick on Yale?
