This is a sarcastic response, right? It's a bunch of incongruent buildings, some old, some new, some ugly, with no sense of campus or together-ness. NYU holds their graduation at Yankees Stadium outside of the city because they literally don't have a great lawn or area on their co-called campus where they can hold a graduation ceremony or gathering of any size larger than 200 people


No, seriously it's perfectly integrated into the capital city of the world. With Washington Square Park serving as its central hub, the vibe is truly unmatched by schools stuck in the middle of nowhere with boredom.


The "vibe" of NYU is urban, concrete, and rats. Enjoy!


Sounds like Georgetown.


Some kids just aren’t vigilant enough to live in a city.

Seriously who prefers drinking in the middle of nowhere vibe.


My kid loved drinking around the Notre Dame campus....middle of nowhere, but vibrant and fun. He looked to places like Northeastern and didn't like how disjointed the campus was.

Obviously a lot of people, since Sewanee and Kenyon make nearly every one of these lists and NYU makes none of them.


Curiously, Sewanee and Kenyon don't make any lists of best urban universities in the US either. The college equivalent of comparing Arsenal to the San Antonio Spurs.

There are many beautiful smaller schools in the U.S.: Sewanee, Wellesley, Vassar, Mount Holyoke, Richmond, U San Diego, Scripps, Middlebury, etc.

For nice mid-size, I would say Princeton, Duke, Notre Dame, William and Mary, Dartmouth. (I haven't seen a number like WashU.)

Larger schools often have spectacular part, but are more likely to have more not-so-nice areas than smaller schools. The University of Washington, Indiana University, CU Boulder, UCLA, and Berkeley are quite nice in my opinion. I have heard other schools like Ole Miss and Kansas State are nice, but I haven't seen them.

My DS loves it. Even so, I’m not sure I would call it beautiful.

Not really. Just older and stuffier.


And more beautiful


Not really. Impressive, but less inviting and, to many, not as beautiful.


I think Cambridge and Oxford have the best architecture and landscaping/gardens and are in charming cities. One of the reasons they my appear less inviting is the colleges restrict visitors and may charge fees. But they would be absolutely overrun with tourists if they didn't, which should tell you something about how they are generally perceived.


The thread is really about college campuses in the United States.

Some of you always bring up Cambridge and Oxford, not necessarily because you think they are the most beautiful, but simply because you want to rebut any claim that a particular American campus stands out.


Toured Princeton recently - stunning campus/adorable adjacent town. At the time I thought - this reminds me of Cambridge. So - equivalent in attractiveness imo (except Cambridge has the nearby river)

Yale is the "most beautiful" campus.

I honestly don’t know how the heck Yale could be considered a beautiful campus when you have incidents like this going on:

Everyone of those students should have been expelled. Yale’s reputation and “beauty” has never recovered after this.


You seem dumb.

wow, good job. I just learned that most people don't know that dumb is spelled with a B.

I find this is bs from someone who’s never been. “Less inviting?” These colleges everyone’s calling beautiful are literally based off of Oxbridge. There’s nothing in the design of Trinity college, especially, that you wouldn’t also feel is less inviting at Yale or Princeton.

+1, also wouldn’t call Yale a very inviting place. Tours won’t even let you in a residential college and each one has massive gates to make sure you are not allowed in. How is that inviting?
