One of my daughters went to Kenyon. Beautiful small college campus. Paul Newman went there.I’ve been to many of these and they are nice but they left off the prettiest one- Kenyon College. Puts most of these to shame.
Plus the plug saying it has brutal winters...no mention for Wisconsin, Colgate, Cornell, etc...He's a tool bag, was just trying to get a rise from 'cuse alum.
I give major kudos to The Traveler for posting this without forcing people to click 50 times to see the entire list. Nicely done and great photos, except for Syracuse. Not sure why they show us buried in snow and then have Cornell pictured during the summer. The pic of Dartmouth also not so good. Other than that, great pics.

My husband went there and still hates brick because of it.One of my best friends went to RIT, which I believe was named the ugliest college campus in America at one point.

Bard and Cornell? Don't hear those campuses called beautiful too often.
Of course, they depicted the campus with an obligatory snow scene!
The 50 Most Beautiful College Campuses in America
As an alumnus (or alumnius if prefer the Kavanaugh spelling) of both Cornell and Syracuse, I have say Cornell's campus is like 20 times nicer than SU's campus. I remember spending a lot of time my first couple weeks of grad school exploring the SU campus and thinking, other than a few buildings, it was pretty lackluster compared to Cornell. I found the Cornell campus to be beautiful and inspiring.
Since CIL is slacking this place has to be in there, Hamilton college:

Having Brutalist buildings should automatically disqualify you from any discussions of Most Beautiful {anything}.I think Cornell's nice. All I hear about is those Brutalist buildings, though.

I like SU's campus. Probably not worthy of a top 50 rating and I am not fond of almost any building built after say 1920, but it is really nice. The thing that makes it fairly unique is the utter lack of conformity in the buildings. If you like diverse architecture, Syracuse is the campus for you!
I have often wished we standardized on Onondaga Limestone for all the major buildings on campus. But I really like Bowne, Lyman, Crouse, Carnegie and even the H of L. There is something to be said for diversity.
Have yours started to lose pieces of concrete yet? Apparently it's only a matter of time before they do.Ooh, I think this is the wrong crowd to try to convince of that...

UVA is the prettiest campus I’ve ever been to.
