Being obsessed with architecture I love looking at college campuses around the USA. Theses campuses are my favorite in Texas. So, which college campus looks better architecturally and which has better landscaping?


THIS IS NOT A HOUSTON VS DALLAS THREAD!

Rice. SMUs architecture seems so cliche whereas Rices architecture gives off a more prestigious vibe.

I actually find SMU's Georgian Revival style architecture to be very pleasing to the eye.

One of the things I like about Rice is its many trees. SMU has a lot of trees too but not more than Rice.

But I prefer SMU's architecture over Rice's
