No one's been to Ohio State in Columbus? Although it doesn't have the amazing natural setting like BYU and the UC schools, it is rather beautiful. Will post some pics soon.

I guess I lied saying in the opening saying I'd only been to my own school, as I've also been to Kent State, Miami U, and Akron (I'm from ohio, have friends there). Miami was nice, but I can't agree with it being THAT great!

That was directed more towards the people who had listed 20 plus colleges.

I think Fort Lewis College in Durango, CO is the most beautifully located campus in the country...

I don't know how the students get anything done over there - it's like a beach resort. There are a number of colleges that have great architecture (University of Virginia, Duke), nice college town areas (University of Georgia, University of Wisconsin), access to mountains (University of Colorado, BYU), or vibrant urban neighborhood settings (NYU, Georgetown), but the setting for Pepperdine in the hills overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Malibu is unmatched.
