Plus Duke law is actually a relatively attractive building. Or at least not a negative.

Haters gonna hate.

And as much as it pains me to say as a Duke alum, UNC is a nice campus. Not as nice as Duke but well above average.

Looks nice. But too spread out to be convenient. Campuses with sprawl (or excessive hills or excessive crime) should have points deducted because they aren’t user friendly.

It’s just some video naming a bunch of colleges someone has visited (over 200) not a statistically valid methodology lol

+1. Really like this campus. It's charming and cohesive and compact. It's funny to hear the students complain about having to walk to the "dark side" which is the modern side and is so very close to the older campus.

One half was nice enough but not nicer than anywhere else. The other half was god awful. There are far better campuses!

I completely disagree. The dark side has the great theater and arts building and the root glen trails. The modern dorms are popular with upperclassmen for suites with common space and small kitchens. But different strokes for different folks. Whether you like the modern side or dislike the modern side it is just across a small road from the classical side with all those handsome buildings.

Do you mean they aren't American colleges, because most people would look at Oxbridge and go "that's a college campus"

Oxford and Cambridge are collections of numerous constituent colleges with their own buildings and grounds. There are some shared facilities like libraries and museums, but the majority of the campus is the colleges.

That's still a university. Sure, it's rare we have that (claremont colleges may be the only successful model), but a university is a collection of various colleges.

It is a university comprised of colleges, each with their own "campus". From the Oxford website: Our University has no central campus but is made up of over 30 colleges and halls spread across the city centre and beyond. These colleges are at the heart of Oxford's reputation as one of the best universities in the world and make it a very special place to study and live.
