I’m surprised university of Washington wasn’t on this list. The amazing view of the mountain and the cherry blossom trees are so beautiful on the campus!
UW definitely deserves a spot in top 10 or even top 5. But as a huskie I might be biased :-). Dartmouth is ok, but to put it as number 1 is a little bit too much to me.
Duke, North Carolina, Wake Forest, Washington, John’s Hopkins, Chicago, UCLA. I mean you hit on Notre Dame and a few others, but you missed some of the best in the land.
@ I have not personally surveyed them all. My personal favorite…plenty of bias here because of family involvement…is UC Santa Cruz, which will certainly never be confused with Harvard.
With Gothic architecture so frequently a factor in the rankings, Georgetown University in Washington, DC should undoubtedly be in the Top Twenty somewhere. Healy Hall, the main building on the Georgetown campus, is a national historic landmark. It's a striking, imposing building that sits impressively on a perch overlooking the Potomac River.

Flagler College in Saint Augustine? Used to be a great little town but has become so overgrown and touristy. Furman always had a beautiful campus but small and is now a bit overgrown. Nowhere to expand. The others are hard to argue with.
UNC is prettier than Duke. When I went to Wake Forest I'm sure i got lost, as i don't think I saw the whole campus. So, I'll need to try again one day.
I graduated from university of Colorado boulder...the campus was beautiful...but i was so overwhelmed by classwork homework and exam and something like that... It was only after i found I had done well in the final for the graduation that I truly realized how beautiful the campus and the surrounding nature were.

Clearly you’ve never actually been to Ithaca New York. Cornell with it on campus waterfalls, bridges, landscapes, and beautiful campus architecture Has to be in the top five of any serious list of beautiful college campuses.
Cornell should definitely be in the Top 5. It's has the natural beauty given the lakes, waterfalls, suspension bridges, and gorges. The buildings have a nice mixture of old and modern, many with majestic views of the finger lakes. No other campus in American has this complete package of natural and architectural beauty especially given the size of the campus. Cornell not being in the top 5 and putting schools like Dartmouth and Harvard in the top makes this ranking lose credibility. Also, Duke deserves to be in the top 20 with Williams College.
Cornell DOES have a lovely campus, but hey, it DID make the list anyway, even if not Top 5. Yale didn't make the Top 5 either, which was surprising too, since both campuses are STUNNING. Ithaca is MUCH nicer than New Haven though, admittedly.
@@howarddamico1237 Yeah Howard you're getting EXACTLY what I meant. 😆 Ithaca (and the Cayuga Valley area) is MUCH MORE scenic than New Haven is however. I'm originally from NYC, and I went to undergrad college in Massachusetts, in the Amherst/Northampton Pioneer Valley area, which was VERY pretty, and a VERY nice place to live. The upstate NY/New England region is in and of itself very diverse scenically in terms of which state you're in. Vermont is overall my personal favorite inland, but I ❤️ the coasts of Cape Cod, New Hampshire and Maine too. Rhode Island is prettier than Connecticut, but Block Island and Mystic are both beautiful. New Haven is, pardon me a 💩🕳️, BUT, that's where I lived for three years during grad school. I couldn't move where Yale is unfortunately. 🤣
@@Timidor23 Ithaca is a dump. Depending on the season it exists under rain, snow, slush offset by a small, dull storefront town I worked at Ithaca's biggest mill - Cornell. It was one of the happiest days of my life when I quit outright and left for places where the sun can be seen.
Really? The University of Wisconsin-Madison is by far the most beautiful and exciting campus in the whole world, not just the USA. Pay a visit, you will stay there forever!
William and Mary, Vanderbilt, Bard, Northwestern, Williams, U of Washington, Bucknell, Duke, U. of Chicago, Columbia, Vassar, U. of Richmond, UC Berkeley, UC Santa Cruz, Tulane, Wake Forest, Georgetown, Lewis and Clark, Amherst, to name a few, are all equally worthy of most beautiful campuses. Moreover, there are a few, including Harvard, that should not be on your list.
I have visited many of these featured universities and many others, and I am surprised that Vanderbilt University is not on the list. The campus is an arboretum, has stunning buildings and views, and on top of all this, it is across the street from Centennial Park, which, as a nod to the many universities based in Nashville, has a full-sized replica of the Athenian Parthenon that houses a 40+ foot statue of the goddess Athena.
They visuals they chose for the video are terrible. It really is a beautiful campus, and the quintessential picturesque New England college campus, especially in the fall.
I agree with Dartmouth. While Baker-Berry library at the north end of the Green is the centerpiece, what really makes the campus stunning is the 4 white colonial buildings of "Dartmouth Row, " unfortunately not pictured. Also the grounds in general especially along the banks of the Connecticut River.
I was so surprised he spent so little time with Dartmouth. It's a gorgeous campus in a gorgeous area. It's a four-season campus with plenty to do all year. And if that weren't enough, I think the Appalachian Trail goes through Hanover. Nice school.
@@peterpicard4028 so university of Chicago. Don't act dense and I said Gotham university not Gotham city so try again dummy before you try to check something at least read the comment right...jeez
Plus it's known that Gotham city is a mix of both new York and Chicago. Trust me I know it sucks realizing that new York isn't the center of everything it's gonna be okay😂😂
U of Chicago, Duke, Johns Hopkin all belong on the list with honorable mentions to Wash U in St Louis, University of Washington in Seattle, Wake Forest and Chapel Hill
#1. The University Of Northwestern , #2. The University Of Chicago , #3. The University Of Michigan , #4. The University Of Stanford , #5. The University Of Yale are my top 5 favorites.
Some selections are suspicious but acceptable. Glad you included Berry College & Kenyon! But, Hawaii & Harvard--no. Having visited Rice, the University of Richmond, Colby, Boston College, Duke, Wake Forest, Rhodes College, Yale & Washington U in StL, I don't know how they missed getting on this list. Southern Methodist?? How did you miss that?
Very nice Campuses... Princeton is quite an electrifying name for me, because of the Mathematics Faculty and the majestic organ in the University Chapel
I've been on a college tour for my child recently, all on the East coast. Princeton is quite beautiful (14th on this list). But the fact that Duke is not included on this list makes the list invalid, right away. Personally, I didn't even attend Duke but it is THE most beautiful campus I've ever seen. It's stunningly beautiful. It's landscaped and manicured like freaking Disney World. I kid you not. The gothic architecture is jaw dropping. The entire campus is intoxicatingly beautiful.
You may want to visit the University of Kansas at Lawrence. I've been to so many campuses. KU has such a beautiful campus's that offers so many opportunities for diversity of student life.
Not a great list overall imo. University of Washington, Washinton University, UCLA, and likely some others I'm missing certainly deserve to be here. UH Manoah is an awful campus and shouldn't be anywhere near the top 20. Sure it's a nice location but the campus itself is extremely outdated, dirty, and just not visually appealing. Also, Harvard has a nice campus, but it isn't close to top 2 in the nation. If it wasn't so highly regarded for its education I doubt it would even be top 10.
All these are a more or less traditional campus design. But here's a vote for a breathtakingly beautiful, definitely futuristic design (and not traditional) nestled high in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado- the Air Force Academy
I went to a meeting there and the officer’s bathrooms (female) are the most luxurious in the world. They beat that hotel in New Orleans that is always rated number one by a mile
Salve Regina University should absolutely be on this list, it's on every other list of beautiful college campuses! Plus, this guy needs to learn how to pronounce "Ithaca" where Cornell is.
I might be biased cause i work there but I think Pepperdine should be up the list about 19 spaces. haha. Also, Im from near Ithica... (Ithh - ee- kah).
The isolation of Dartmouth adds to her allure, in my perhaps biased opinion. The sacrifice of my life produced the first college graduate of my blood line. When the time comes, I will be attired in Dartmouth gear. My daughter put up with my madness, I assured her it would payoff.
Plus, he mispronounced the name of the town that Kenyon College is in, even though it was named after a British lord. He gave Gambier a French pronunciation rather than an ordinary English one.
@@johnpepple3456Just wait until you see the video where he rates the top restaurants in Los Angeles. You can get your Mexican “tack-hoss” and “ka-vee-chess” from the lorry, or eat at Wolfgang Puck’s “Spay-go.”
Berry College, Rice University, & Furman University all stand out to me on this list. Immaculate year round. Any schools in the north or midwest tend to look like desolate depressing trash from December - May, due to harsh winter conditions. Not worth it to me. They should do a list specifically for public funded state universities & colleges. I've seen some absolutely amazing looking state schools that run circles around the old outdated looking private schools. They are newer, innovative, and cleaner looking in my opinion.
Modern “architecture” is ugly, boring, cheaply constructed and an insult to humanity. Modern buildings look dystopian and communistic, which is probably why young people love that garbage.
My daughter is on a recruiting visit to Dartmouth right now, and she seems impressed. She was at Harvard last week and didn't love it. Rankings like this are fun but generally useless. Individual preference will make all the difference.
This was a very f'd up list. He would show colleges like Bryn Mawr ranked high that didn't look anything great but colleges like Pepperdine 19th which may have been the nicest. My top 3 from this video..1. Pepperdine...2. Colorado...3. Hawaii
Number 2 in the US in my book (although I have not been all the ones mentioned in the video). Number one is a university not far from Indiana...Miami of Ohio.
Just HOW is the beautiful University of Montana NOT on this list ! For the beauty of its campus, the river, the mountains and the city of Missoula, it very well deserves to be included.
Most campuses have been developed over decades, if not centuries. I don't think having aging buildings, with out of date facilities surrounded by dead grass and dirt fields would attract students or help with advancing education and research.
@@GoGreen1977 New buildings and green grass are not necessary to promote learning. As we see they have new buildings and green grass and people come out of college with useless degrees
@@GoGreen1977 You’re missing the entire point, which is to be in a place where you can focus on learning, new experiences… Yes, you can do that in a warehouse on the south side of Chicago, or by enrolling at Trump U. But you’ll be sorry.
You missed the University of Pittsburgh with its Cathedral of Learning. Many rural campeuses are more beautiful than many on your list. As for Harvard, not sure its campus is more beautiful than that of the little Sister Boston College!
Doesn't Washington University in St.Louis also come under one of the most beautiful University campus ?? The WASHU the breath takingly beautiful I feel.
Brown Baby! It's Benefit St. Architecture and neo Georgian motif is breathtaking 18th Century. You totally missed it..its American history revealed. A must go!
Surprised, too, that the nation's first state public university...the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (also "history and beauty in one!" and just "down the road a few miles from Duke) ...was left out, too. Go, Blue Devils. Go, Tar Heels. ;.)
USC your joking right ever been there I lived here u take your life into your own hands just trying to get on that campus its location is horrible u walk a 100 feet in any direction off that campus and your sacred to death
I thought it was a bit odd when I went to college how they had all these big beautiful buildings yet in many cases a lot of your classes were in classrooms that weren't really any different than your high school classroom. Big beautiful campuses are nice but they're not really necessary.
University of Utah with its view of the mountains and the wonderful blend of new modern buildings like Lassonde Studios (named one of top 10 university buildings in the world by Architectural Digest)

So "routinely" is a stretch, at best. It is nowhere close to, say, Mount Holyoke...I even prefer BC or Wellesley. BTW, assuming you're an alum, and want to represent, it's "feat." :)
@@peterpicard4028 Like everyone - I blame the spell checker. But thank you. As for Holy Cross winning once in a blue moon - simply not accurate. When I was there in the 1980's it won every four years (It won before I was there, during, and shortly afterwards). The best in Massachusetts was just a year or so ago. I also went to BC. LOL. Doesn't come close. Lots of campuses have a pretty building or two - or one particularly nice vista. But when thinking about an entire campus, I have never seen better than HC both in how it looks and how well it is maintained.

The campus is an arboretum, has stunning buildings and views, and on top of all this, it is across the street from Centennial Park, which, as a nod to the many universities based in Nashville, has a full-sized replica of the Athenian Parthenon that houses a 40+ foot statue of the goddess Athena.
Clearly you've never been to The Yard of the Naval Academy in Annapolis. Talk about breathtaking!
Actually, I think West Point is more impressive, esp. its situation overlooking the Hudson River. Beautiful buildings as well.
Dartmouth number 1? Are you blind? Looks llike half the campus is parking lot. Real beautiful!
They visuals they chose for the video are terrible. It really is a beautiful campus, and the quintessential picturesque New England college campus, especially in the fall.
Parking lot? When I went to Dartmouth i had to walk about a half mile to get to parking. There are no large parking lots on the campus.
The United States Naval Academy campus is Annapolis, MD is gorgeous. Missed that one.
And West Point-on-the-Hudson.
I have been to stanford, and right now i am at cal state long beach, and the architecture here is way more beautiful than standord
I agree with Dartmouth. While Baker-Berry library at the north end of the Green is the centerpiece, what really makes the campus stunning is the 4 white colonial buildings of "Dartmouth Row, " unfortunately not pictured. Also the grounds in general especially along the banks of the Connecticut River.
I was so surprised he spent so little time with Dartmouth.
It's a gorgeous campus in a gorgeous area. It's a four-season campus with plenty to do all year.
And if that weren't enough, I think the Appalachian Trail goes through Hanover.
Nice school.
I've lived in Boulder and I've lived in Princeton . Princeton is MUCH more beautiful . Go back and take a second look .
The University of Oklahoma-Norman campus is absolutely gorgeous and deserves to be on the list!
Chicago University is the most beautiful University in the us for architecture and has some of the best landscape. A real life Gotham city University
Northwestern
do u know which one is great fpr product designing
there is no such thing. as Chicago University...and Gotham City is New York...jeez
@@peterpicard4028 so university of Chicago. Don't act dense and I said Gotham university not Gotham city so try again dummy before you try to check something at least read the comment right...jeez
Plus it's known that Gotham city is a mix of both new York and Chicago. Trust me I know it sucks realizing that new York isn't the center of everything it's gonna be okay😂😂
U of Chicago, Duke, Johns Hopkin all belong on the list with honorable mentions to Wash U in St Louis, University of Washington in Seattle, Wake Forest and Chapel Hill
#1. The University Of Northwestern , #2. The University Of Chicago , #3. The University Of Michigan , #4. The University Of Stanford , #5. The University Of Yale are my top 5 favorites.
It's Northwestern University, Yale University and Stanford University.
Thank you for giving us such a beautiful experience
Some selections are suspicious but acceptable. Glad you included Berry College & Kenyon! But, Hawaii & Harvard--no. Having visited Rice, the University of Richmond, Colby, Boston College, Duke, Wake Forest, Rhodes College, Yale & Washington U in StL, I don't know how they missed getting on this list. Southern Methodist?? How did you miss that?
Rhodes College represent!
So many great and beautiful schools and campuses all over America. What a country!
Excellent.. a follow up presentation comparing your list with their academic rankings would be interesting
Sure, please stay tuned for the follow-up video.
I wish I could get admission in any one ..education is like light.
Very nice Campuses... Princeton is quite an electrifying name for me, because of the Mathematics Faculty and the majestic organ in the University Chapel
You must be watched "a beautiful mind movie"
Yes... but not only...
I've been on a college tour for my child recently, all on the East coast. Princeton is quite beautiful (14th on this list). But the fact that Duke is not included on this list makes the list invalid, right away. Personally, I didn't even attend Duke but it is THE most beautiful campus I've ever seen. It's stunningly beautiful. It's landscaped and manicured like freaking Disney World. I kid you not. The gothic architecture is jaw dropping. The entire campus is intoxicatingly beautiful.
This is all true.
You’re missing UCLA, the most beautiful urban campus around.
1.Stanford
2.UCLA
3.Michigan
4.Washington
5.Harvard
@@michaeln.2383 nope
Stanford isn’t beautiful
You may want to visit the University of Kansas at Lawrence. I've been to so many campuses. KU has such a beautiful campus's that offers so many opportunities for diversity of student life.
Diversity isn’t everything, very overrated.
Virginia Tech should've made it
Not a great list overall imo. University of Washington, Washinton University, UCLA, and likely some others I'm missing certainly deserve to be here. UH Manoah is an awful campus and shouldn't be anywhere near the top 20. Sure it's a nice location but the campus itself is extremely outdated, dirty, and just not visually appealing. Also, Harvard has a nice campus, but it isn't close to top 2 in the nation. If it wasn't so highly regarded for its education I doubt it would even be top 10.
All these are a more or less traditional campus design. But here's a vote for a breathtakingly beautiful, definitely futuristic design (and not traditional) nestled high in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado- the Air Force Academy
I went to a meeting there and the officer’s bathrooms (female) are the most luxurious in the world. They beat that hotel in New Orleans that is always rated number one by a mile
Is it as good as University of Colorado Boulder campus?
@@lettermines Yes, it is.
Salve Regina University should absolutely be on this list, it's on every other list of beautiful college campuses! Plus, this guy needs to learn how to pronounce "Ithaca" where Cornell is.
Hi Teresa 👋🏻 😊
I might be biased cause i work there but I think Pepperdine should be up the list about 19 spaces. haha. Also, Im from near Ithica... (Ithh - ee- kah).
Princeton/Stanford my favorites. Surprisingly Duke wasn’t on your list. Trouble with Cornell & Dartmouth are both in no man’s land.
The isolation of Dartmouth adds to her allure, in my perhaps biased opinion. The sacrifice of my life produced the first college graduate of my blood line.
When the time comes, I will be attired in Dartmouth gear. My daughter put up with my madness, I assured her it would payoff.
Good points.
Duke and West Point should have made the list, certainly above UVA and Furman.
Just wondering why Loyola University in New Orleans is shown in the introduction but not listed in the top 20...
Because this video is B.S.
I love how a british guy who has probably never set foot on any of these campuses is the one ranking
Plus, he mispronounced the name of the town that Kenyon College is in, even though it was named after a British lord. He gave Gambier a French pronunciation rather than an ordinary English one.
@@johnpepple3456Just wait until you see the video where he rates the top restaurants in Los Angeles. You can get your Mexican “tack-hoss” and “ka-vee-chess” from the lorry, or eat at Wolfgang Puck’s “Spay-go.”
isnt pepperdine where they shot zoey101? it has to be the same campus
Yes it is
Berry College, Rice University, & Furman University all stand out to me on this list. Immaculate year round. Any schools in the north or midwest tend to look like desolate depressing trash from December - May, due to harsh winter conditions. Not worth it to me. They should do a list specifically for public funded state universities & colleges. I've seen some absolutely amazing looking state schools that run circles around the old outdated looking private schools. They are newer, innovative, and cleaner looking in my opinion.
Your opinion is trash. Few things are more beautiful than a New England campus in the fall or after a deep snowfall.
Modern “architecture” is ugly, boring, cheaply constructed and an insult to humanity. Modern buildings look dystopian and communistic, which is probably why young people love that garbage.
My daughter is on a recruiting visit to Dartmouth right now, and she seems impressed. She was at Harvard last week and didn't love it. Rankings like this are fun but generally useless. Individual preference will make all the difference.
This was a very f'd up list. He would show colleges like Bryn Mawr ranked high that didn't look anything great but colleges like Pepperdine 19th which may have been the nicest. My top 3 from this video..1. Pepperdine...2. Colorado...3. Hawaii
#20 is Pomona College, NOT Scripps. Surprised that University of Chicago didn't make the list.
Scripps Institute is in San Diego.
Some parts of shots were from Scripps college.
@@kathleenhudson8429he was not talking about Scrpips institute but Scripps college in LA area.
Cornell should be up there. Also William and Mary is beautiful
they both are listed
BYU deserves the number one spot hands down. Im not mormon but that school is gorgeous
Syracuse University should be on the top 10!
I like Syracuse but the buildings are too eclectic to make a list like this.
You are missing Indiana University in Bloomington.
The old part -- yeah, as good as any -- but not the Bauhaus dreck on the perimeter.
@@gsjackson34 right I was expecting the old part of campus to be on the list. It is breathtaking
Number 2 in the US in my book (although I have not been all the ones mentioned in the video). Number one is a university not far from Indiana...Miami of Ohio.
I.U. is half good and half horrible.
@@lorannamoody7011 Difficult to ignore that new part.
At least you made it to Charlottesville, VA. Good job.
Just HOW is the beautiful University of Montana NOT on this list ! For the beauty of its campus, the river, the mountains and the city of Missoula, it very well deserves to be included.
Everything is beautiful except the campus.
Maybe they could reduce tuition instead of making their colleges beautiful.
Most campuses have been developed over decades, if not centuries. I don't think having aging buildings, with out of date facilities surrounded by dead grass and dirt fields would attract students or help with advancing education and research.
@@GoGreen1977 New buildings and green grass are not necessary to promote learning. As we see they have new buildings and green grass and people come out of college with useless degrees
@@GoGreen1977 You’re missing the entire point, which is to be in a place where you can focus on learning, new experiences…
Yes, you can do that in a warehouse on the south side of Chicago, or by enrolling at Trump U. But you’ll be sorry.
I'm surprised the University of Toronto moved to the US. 3rd campus is the opening 5 seconds.
Hi Dan 👋🏻
????????????????????????????????????
Flagler’s buildings were part of a hotel built in the 1800’s, not 1968. It became a college in 1968
GO SAINTS!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Richard Boone taught acting there.
You missed the University of Pittsburgh with its Cathedral of Learning.
Many rural campeuses are more beautiful than many on your list.
As for Harvard, not sure its campus is more beautiful than that of the little Sister Boston College!
Need to check out Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama. Way more beautiful than many of these
Your missing Purdue university. Now thats a nice school. Especially the beautiful buildings
Yeah... I totally agree with you cuz I also graduated the same school as you mentioned.
I did a masters and doctorate (ABD) at Purdue and I love it but it is more practical than beautiful. Lots of red brick.
@@jcghim You mean Slow Poke Junior High?
@@lorannamoody7011 Lots. But very practical red brick.
@@roberthenry9319 say that to all the astronauts and engineers and pilots from there.
Doesn't Washington University in St.Louis also come under one of the most beautiful University campus ?? The WASHU the breath takingly beautiful I feel.
I agree. Personally, I believe WashU is prettier than Dartmouth and Harvard.
Beautiful report . However I am surprised that you did not include the Claremont Colleges Oher than Scripps College - a women's only college
well, the fact that it is a women's college shouldn't be a problem, numb nuts
Brown University should be on the list
Looks like Harvard, but up the hill.
Brown Baby! It's Benefit St. Architecture and neo Georgian motif is breathtaking 18th Century. You totally missed it..its American history revealed. A must go!
Surprised that Duke, UCLA, USC is not on your beauty list.They are history and beauty in one!
Surprised, too, that the nation's first state public university...the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (also "history and beauty in one!" and just "down the road a few miles from Duke) ...was left out, too. Go, Blue Devils. Go, Tar Heels. ;.)
USC your joking right ever been there I lived here u take your life into your own hands just trying to get on that campus its location is horrible u walk a 100 feet in any direction off that campus and your sacred to death
@@tomm.6265 the location around usc is bad but the actual campus is beautiful
@@notsyco I grew up there it is not Beautiful far from it sorry
@@tomm.6265 i live right next to it ☠️ the campus is beautiful but the streets around it is not. “beautiful college campus” not the area
I’m surprised the PAC-12 didn’t take 11 of the 20 spots.
Questionable top 2. Where is Duke
Bates College has one of the most beautiful campuses. It should have been part of the list .
yuck
I thought it was a bit odd when I went to college how they had all these big beautiful buildings yet in many cases a lot of your classes were in classrooms that weren't really any different than your high school classroom. Big beautiful campuses are nice but they're not really necessary.
I knew it! I knew it! the Big Green reigns Supreme. That school made an impression on my soul, when I laid eyes upon it.
The Big Green?
@@roberthenry9319 A heavenly place!
University of Utah with its view of the mountains and the wonderful blend of new modern buildings like Lassonde Studios (named one of top 10 university buildings in the world by Architectural Digest)
Views don't count. Its the ambiance and architecture that matter
@@wendelswerk The architecture of the UofU is top notch all around in my opinion - very modern, sleek, yet not unfeeling in that "corporate" way.
Georgetown has a VERY disappointing campus for such an old, prestigious university. There seems to be only one "stand out" building
What about Fordham University in the Bronx, New York? I guess you have never been there. 🧐
Chicago, gerogetown, UC Berkeley must be on the list.
Hobart & William Smith, Salve Regina, Wake Forest, Middlebury, Amherst College, you’ve missed a bunch
You missed Salve Regina University in Newport, Rhode Island. Also Westmont College in Santa Barbara.
The Claremont Colleges including Scripps should be on the list. And where is Duke?
I thought Duke was too full of skinny pines, or did I miss something
@@chrisr326 Pine trees and 2 nice buildings.
William & Mary! Go Tribe!
Vanderbilt should be on the list
Yale’s Beinecke Library should have been mentioned and illustrated. It is a famous example of modern architecture.
It is ugly as hell.
To say this is subjective is the understatement of the year......
Not even close. Where are Berry College, the University of Chicago, Princeton University?
ITH-i-ka (New York)
HEW-stun (Texas)
(your welcome).
University of Kentucky and University of Louisville has nice campuses
Had a chuckle how he pronounced "Ithaca"! *Not* "It-Ha-Ka"... it's "Ith-a-ka."
Better than his pronunciation of Houston.
College of the Holy Cross - routinely voted among the top 5 most beautiful campuses in the U.S. Often chosen as the #1 by the U.S. professional grounds maintenance society.
delusional
Holy Cross is nice, but your "routinely voted" claims are wishful thinking at best
@@peterpicard4028 Nope - very accurate. It's also been voted the most beautiful college campus in Massachusetts - no small feet given the number of beautiful campuses in Massachusetts.
@@ScottA2345 I have a soft spot for Holy Cross, and I have spent lots of time on campus. But it only makes most beautiful lists once in a blue moon - the Brit-narrated list you offered, for example. So "routinely" is a stretch, at best. It is nowhere close to, say, Mount Holyoke...I even prefer BC or Wellesley. BTW, assuming you're an alum, and want to represent, it's "feat." :)
@@peterpicard4028 Like everyone - I blame the spell checker. But thank you.
As for Holy Cross winning once in a blue moon - simply not accurate. When I was there in the 1980's it won every four years (It won before I was there, during, and shortly afterwards). The best in Massachusetts was just a year or so ago.
I also went to BC. LOL. Doesn't come close.
Lots of campuses have a pretty building or two - or one particularly nice vista. But when thinking about an entire campus, I have never seen better than HC both in how it looks and how well it is maintained.
Boston College’s campus is so so underrated.
Honorable mentions that should be on the list:
UC Santa Barbara
UC Santa Cruz
University of Miami
I don't have any idea how you get to rank these spaces.
Yall those are all opinions, he did well on this video ❤
You should try the Northwestern
