Cornell has both.


So does Colgate.

Yes!! Everytime I walk onto that campus, I get a sense of peace and beauty.

Notre Dame and St. Mary's in Southbend - just gorgeous. Too much snow, though.


OP back. Yes, I do absolutely agree with you on that (too much snow). Belgh. After graduation, back to Northern VA I came.

Really? The highway cuts the campus in 2 and the buildings are very blah. My DC went to soccer camp there for a couple of years and I thought it was really an unattractive campus.

Miami of Ohio is pretty, but I liked UVA and UNC Chapel Hill better.

Sounds like Virginia has lots of nice campuses, unlike Maryland state schools. Anyone have a Maryland state or private school to add to the list?


Someone already mentioned St Mary's.

Radford University, Radford, Virginia.

Specifically, the central, older part of campus is picturesque; mature magnolia trees, original (circa 1910) campus buildings (library, alumni house, science building) well integrated with newer buildings that parallel the university's growth from a small, two-year normal (teacher training) school to the coed university it is today.

Easily-walkable campus, too.
