Swarthmore
Princeton is the prettiest of the Ivies I think (and, no, it's not the one I went to
)
UVA has a lovely quad, but the look is very specific and its gets pretty generic once you get past the heart of campus
U-Md, no, sorry. I do like St. Mary's tho.
Have never seen the Cali schools...

For large schools, I think Indiana and Colorado are quite nice. I agree that Chicago is really nice for an urban setting. There are a lot of nice small schools that have been mentioned. My favorites, though, are Cambridge and Oxford. They can be looked at as a collection of small colleges competing with each other on attractiveness.

I visited UNC a long time ago and thought it was beautiful. But the last time I was there I got the distinct impression it had been overbuilt. Someone mentioned Stanford earlier, and I got the same impression there. Obviously schools need to expand, but it can come at a price.

Sewanee, Kenyon, Vassar, Richmond, Wellesley, Mount Holyoke, Swarthmore, and William and Mary have been nice to visit.
I think Chicago is the nicest urban campus I've seen.

W&M. The blending into colonial Williamsburg makes it amazing and one of a kind.
The prettiest school I have visited with my kid: St. Olaf. Not as much the grounds and the building. All the Norwegian/Scandinavian buildings with the beautiful wood and high ceilings and light filled spaces make the architecture and indoor spaces beautiful. It’s very unique.
* grounds as the buildings. And the inside of the buildings should be gorgeous. The MN winter means there are several months kids are not hanging out outside.

University of Chicago- this is the perfect urban campus. So many other urban schools are just plunked into a city without any sense of cohesion, but University of Chicago has beautiful buildings and a great campus
Flagler College- it used to be a hotel and the main building is just gorgeous. The cafeteria is incredible.
Chicago really has an amazing variety of architecture — from traditional Collegiate Gothic in the quad to Brutalist — Regenstein Library to IM Pei’s stinning law school building to a Frank Lloyd Wright house — an extraordinary collection of buildings that hangs together through the street grid, paths and Midway Plaisance. It’s a modern version of Jefferson’s “academic village”.

Yes — the rose garden, the arboretum, the amphitheater — just beautiful
Maybe, but don’t step foot off campus.

I’m a Stanford alum and I agree that Palm Drive and the quad are stunning. Beyond that, not so much.
