Sure, I'd be happy to help you out with some college campuses known for their scenic beauty! Here are a few that could definitely be worth considering:

1. Dartmouth College (Hanover, New Hampshire): Located amidst the picturesque New England forests, Dartmouth offers a beautiful campus with ivy-covered buildings and a pristine natural setting.

2. Pepperdine University (Malibu, California): Overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Pepperdine's campus boasts some incredible views, with a stunning combination of ocean, mountain, and lush greenery.

3. Middlebury College (Middlebury, Vermont): Nestled in the Green Mountains, Middlebury's campus offers a beautiful rural setting with historic buildings, charming town surroundings, and abundant outdoor activities.

4. University of Colorado Boulder (Boulder, Colorado): This campus is set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Rocky Mountains and offers easy access to outdoor adventures and an active lifestyle.

5. Sewanee: The University of the South (Sewanee, Tennessee): Known as the "Domain," Sewanee's 13,000-acre campus includes forests, trails, lakes, and stunning views of the Cumberland Plateau.

6. University of Virginia (Charlottesville, Virginia): UVA's historic campus, designed by Thomas Jefferson, is not only architecturally beautiful, but also surrounded by the rolling hills of the Shenandoah Valley.

7. University of Notre Dame (South Bend, Indiana): With its iconic Golden Dome, historic architecture, and picturesque landscapes, Notre Dame offers a campus with a unique blend of tradition and natural beauty.

8. Princeton University (Princeton, New Jersey): Princeton's campus features impressive Gothic architecture and park-like grounds, with the tree-lined pathways and ivy-covered stone buildings making for a serene environment.

9. Cornell University (Ithaca, New York): Situated in the Finger Lakes region, Cornell's campus offers expansive views of Cayuga Lake, scenic waterfalls, and beautiful gardens.

10. Stanford University (Stanford, California): Stanford's sprawling campus, including its beautifully landscaped Main Quad and palm-tree-lined walks, offers a quintessential California setting.

Keep in mind that beauty is subjective, so I'd recommend visiting (either physically or virtually) any campuses you're interested in to get a sense of what appeals to you most. Good luck with your college search!
