The old Ivys are very pretty

Harvard, Princeton, Penn etc.

Peperdine has a georgeous location.

UM and UVA are also very pretty campuses

I have never been to U of W or Stnaford but the pitures look very nice

I think there is setting, campus and even urban type campuses that have different allures

This is U Penn, not bad at all for an urban setting

Penn State is actually a beautiful campus as well. Probably not the prettiest but very pretty all the same

I'm biased, but I think Northwestern has the most beautiful campus in Illinois. It is probably UW-Madison in Wisconsin.

In addition to Clemson in South Carolina, a private college, Furman University, is considered the nicest campus in the state.

North Carolina : Elon, Davidson (private colleges)

Georgia: Mercer, Berry (largest campus in acres in the world or so they claim, hundreds of acres per student)

I thought UC San Diego was pretty nice also. I attended a graduation there, many years ago and loved the "beach-like" environment.

UC Santa Barbara is also nice in a Pepperdine kind of way

UPenn is nice for an urban campus - IMO Phillys best

In NY I think it is difficult to top Cornell - especially when you wind into the gorges. West Point is magnificent as well.

I absolutely love a lot of the southern style school - College of William & Mary is a favorite

Although small I also really like the way that Davis & Elkins in WV is set into the hills with some really interesting buildings & structures

Unfortunately in AZ we don't have that many options - Embry Riddle & Prescott college have nice locations in Prescott, but not much of a campus

ASU is massive with some iconic structures, but not exactly beautiful across the campus (unless you count the co-eds)

UofA feels a little more "collegiate" and also has a couple notable buildings, but on the whole doesn't belong in the discussion

NAU I think has the best college feel and best - probably would take top prize in the state, but falls short of what I grew up around in the north east

Thunderbird School of Global Management is small, contained and fairly well landscaped

The nicest campuses in the Pac-12 are Colorado, Stanford, and Washington.

In Ohio, I'd say Ohio University and Miami.

Anything but Bowling Green State University where I grew up. Hideous.
