Reminds me of Pepperdine. Neither are my thing, but I'm sure they are amazing in their own way.

I will probably throw my vote at UVA.

my beloved alma mater, of course:

I second UCLA.

This thread is destined to become a "look at my campus" showcase.

Here is IU (sorry the pics are so small, I am computer illiterate):

^Probably true re: the look at my campus part.

However, IU Bloomington is one of the best looking campuses in the Midwest, hands down. Especially this time of year, when the leaves start turning. Absolutely beautiful.

Yale is a mish-mash of lovely old buildings and some modern masterpieces, and some REAL garbage. For that look I prefer Princeton or the U of C. Dartmouth and Williams are nice for colleges. Have we discussed Brown already? Ahh, all that Georgian architecture... and, otoh, List!

Michigan is ugly as sin, but the law school is beautiful.

There must have been some sort of brick-Beaux Arts movement, maybe emmanating from Pittsburgh, in the Ohio Valley.

I was at Princeton recently. A really cozy little campus with a great entrance.

Stanford, anyone?

By no means the prettiest campus, but here is a picture of Xavier University.

For sheer aesthetics of the locale and the view, I'd have to second the suggestion of Pepperdine University's Malibu campus. Gorgeous panoramas of the Pacific and the Channel Islands.

Back when I was a young thing, Pepperdine was dismal-looking establishment in South-Central Los Angeles.

University of Richmond's campus:

I like it even better when everything's covered in snow, like during the one time I visited:
