Most beautiful state college campuses ....... (graduated, start, medicine, Colorado)

[caution]

The United States Military Academy, West Point, NY

This place wins. No contest.

Everything is so immaculate. The views and buildings are spectacular.

Grove City University, Grove City PA. I knew on my first visit that I couldn't go anywhere else. It is what every movie college wants to be.

I forgot a few weeks ago to add William & Mary and West Point to my list (I knew I'd forget a few I've experienced). I saw those mentioned recently. Rutgers though? Maybe I missed something?

It has what no other campus I've been to has: stunning architecture AND stunning setting. No other has both in the quantities as Washington. I've NEVER spoken to a single person who's been there who has ever disagreed with that statement, seriously.

Suzallo library and the grad reading room is like being in an ancient Eurpopean Gothic cathedral. In fact, most of the campus is in the traditional neogothic style, complete with the ivy, the stained glass windows and the gargoyles, etc.

Couple that with Lake Washington, the Montlake Cut, Old bridges, gorgeous mountain views (real mountains, not rolling hills called mountains by Easterners) and a stunning view of Mount Rainier from Red Square.

Serious, I've been to each Ivy (I attended law school at U Penn; whoever said that place was gorgeous needs to get out more), I've been to Michigan, UVa, U. of Florida, Stanford, University of Oregon (not even close to UW in beauty) and just about every other Pac 10 school, Lewis and Clark (mentioned), etc. etc. None that I've seen in person or in pictures touches Washington. Go there, and I promise you'll agree.

Although I chose Case Western Reserve (yes, we've changed our name once again) because I liked the atmosphere, I'd have to say either Reed College or Kalamazoo College are absolutely gorgeous.
CWRU has a broader variety of architecture, but because the Peter B. Lewis Building is an absolute eyesore, I have to rank CWRU far lower in its attractiveness.

University of Iowa campus is exceptional in the Big Ten. Duke is classic old school charm.

The University of Iowa in Iowa City is exceptional. Duke University has that classic "Old School" character and charm.

In my opinion, Michigan State University has the most beautiful campus... with the gorgeous trees and the ivy covered halls, it simply can't be beat!

NYU. Urban campus, Washington Square Park, excellent restaurant and music scene, Village Vanguard is close by, Greenwich Village, SoHo, excellent jazz, art, culture, parks, monunments, and museums...

My bad. Not a state college campus. I'm and idiot!

Ok, as for state college campus, I would say that UVA is very pretty, but I also really like West Virginia University for the scenery and KU, actually...I think University of Kansas campus and the Lawrence area is VERY nice.

The Michigan State Spartans campus is beautiful, lots of red brick covered by beautiful Ivy. Just stunning when you walk around the school.

I also liked Pepperdine, but that is right in Malibu so that is a no brainer.
