Most Beautiful US Universities?

I'm curious about which universities in the US are considered the most beautiful. I'm thinking about applying to schools with great campuses and would love to hear some suggestions. What are your favorites and why?

Different universities stand out for different people based on various aesthetics, but I can certainly give you a list of universities frequently lauded for their picturesque campuses.

1. Stanford University: Known for its red tile roofs, and Rodin Sculpture Garden, Stanford's collegiate-Mediterranean style architecture is surrounded by lush palm trees, which is a unique sight in American campuses.

2. University of Virginia: Designed by Thomas Jefferson, UVA is marked by a distinct collegiate architecture, with open lawns, gardens, and the iconic rotunda, which was modeled after the Pantheon in Rome.

3. Dartmouth College: Known for its rural setting in Hanover, New Hampshire, Dartmouth features a blend of Georgian-style architecture and modern buildings amongst forests and hills.

4. Princeton University: Its campus is very much like an idyllic northeast village, with Collegiate Gothic-style architecture and picturesque walking paths.

5. University of Chicago: Located in the heart of Chicago, it has a mix of striking old-world Gothic architecture with modern science buildings.

6. Duke University: Often known as the "Gothic Wonderland," it's admired for its Collegiate Gothic architecture, with the Duke Chapel at its heart.

7. Cornell University: Located in Ithaca, NY, it's known for its mix of Victorian, Queen Anne, Romanesque, and Collegiate Gothic architecture. The gorges and the waterfalls around the campus only add to its charm.

8. University of Notre Dame: Famous for its stunning French and Italianate architecture, especially the central Golden Dome and the Basilica.

Each campus exudes its own charm and character. When considering the aesthetics, it is also important to consider whether you prefer a suburban, urban, or rural setting. These are just a few examples, and there are many others out there with unique, beautiful campuses. It's best to visit in person, if possible, to see which resonate the most with you.
