I love the UNC campus, but I don't know how it compares to these other schools.
I've visited all of them. Cornell has nicest scenery on good days, but the campus and architecture itself don't quite match it. Wake Forest and Notre Dame are probably the most consistent and best kept. Wake is kind of drab to my eye, though. UNC is best integrated into the town, and has some charm, but it has grown a lot and seems to have had a lot of its space filled in by construction. Duke has nice areas like the Gothic campus and the gardens, but it is too spread out (one part of campus is a bus ride away) and seems to have a lot of parking and construction as well. UVA has a nice central part around the Lawn, but is really inconsistent as you move away from it.
Not sure how I'd rank them. I think Wake is my least favorite of these (but it is nice).
Notre Dame is pristine.
Do you mean the grounds are well kept? The campus is nothing special, apart from Touchdown Jesus (the main buildings are certainly unexceptional).

I don't think you meant to use that word, Notre Dame mom. Clean and fresh are not words usually used to describe a campus
Oh, no, I did mean to use that word. Note: other definition for pristine: in its original condition; unspoiled. synonyms: immaculate, in perfect condition, perfect, in mint condition, as new, unspoiled, spotless, flawless, clean, fresh, new, virgin, pure, unused
Think Notre Dame vs. Georgetown. ND is "pristine."

Stanford University’s pristine campus is located in California’s Bay Area, about 30 miles from San Francisco. . .
Thanks PP. Obviously there is a poster that clearly despises The Notre Dame mom.

Yale dorm does look like an outhouse here. I guess a student shouldn’t believe in all the promo videos they put out.

Huh?
University of Cambridge
Which constituent college? Some are ugly.
They have 31. If you pick one at random, the odds are it will be very, very nice.
That’s not helpful.
Trinity, Kings, St. John's, Corpus Christi, Peterhouse, Gonville and Caius . . .
