Pepperdine is beautiful. Univ of San Diego is definitely beautiful. OSU ...not so much. I have been there more times than I count and I found spots of attraction, but not overall. It also depends on what you are looking for....one taste may be different than another...some may prefer an rural campus in a small town or an urban campus is bordered by different things. At Tulane...its front door faces Audubon Park with the famous St. Charles streetcar. Our back door on the athletic side faces old businesses. Tulane is fortunate that its neighborhood is still more kept than upkept. You can have three different impressions of Tulane depending on when you spent your time on campus.
I have found that most of the campuses that I would prefer are Southern, because of the year-round vegetation that decorates many of the buildings.

Washington has an amazingly beautiful campus in Seattle. It was one of the prettiest sites I've ever seen at a university. Houston, while I love her, does not rank up there as #3, but I'll take it!

I would argue that most large school campuses do not belong on this list. When I think of beautiful campuses i Georgia and Atlanta I think Emory and Oglethorpe, not Georgia State and Georgia

I think UCF has a very nice campus with a lot of new, modern buildings with nice architecture. But I've never thought of it as particularly "beautiful." Some of the old buildings like the Education and Physics buildings that were built in the late 60's and early 70's are downright butt-ugly (although there's only a few). Now if it is factoring in the female population, then yeah, I can see that. :-)

I forget the name of the building but it's in between education and the Washington center, it's where all of my history and Spanish professor's offices were, that building is awful. The elevator hardly worked and would constantly trap people. Colburn Hall, that's it.
