UAS

On Auke Lake, overlooking the Mendenhall Glacier bordered by Auke Bay on the other side.




My idea of "cool" might not be yours though

Ole Miss and Michigan are really cool schools to visit.


I've been to Ole Miss many times, there is just nothing special about it. Drop someone new off in the middle and they would be ho hum. MSU is the same. UGA and UNC are both nice. TAMU is a city.

Stanford


You love LSU go out to Stanford thinking it won't have the it, find it interesting the buildings are very similar exterior construction materials wise, you keep going and going, and yeah in the end you feel like trash

I wouldn't call ours the best, but it's solid.

UNC Chapel Hill is also really nice.

I've only seen:

University of South Carolina
Clemson
College of Charleston
Ole Miss
USC

I have to say I really liked Southern Cal, but College of Charleston is up there. Hard to recall at the moment if I've seen more but think this is it.

How many campuses have a swamp with alligators next to the student union...?

Always thought ULL's Cypress Lake was pretty cool..

Notre Dame was beautiful.
Michigan and Michigan State were too. We toured all 3 in one day in 2019. Was fun side trip aka long arse detour from Grand Rapids back to Chicago.

My favorite besides LSU is Tennessee.

I've been to others that were great, including Michigan, UVA, Washington, and Colorado



UVa and Washington were both very nice.

I thought Michigan SUCKED. It seems like you'd have a series of buildings, then a McDonalds and a 7-11. Then another series of buildings, etc. The quads were nice, but other than that, I just didn't like the flow of the campus. I was only there for a day so maybe I just got the wrong "first impression" and you just need to get to know it better. But my first impression wasn't favorable.

I've never visited Colorado.

I thought Princeton was the nicest campus I've ever visited.

NYU was a lot like Michigan in that they just had school buildings intermixed with private buildings and the only way to tell if the building was an NYU building is if it had NYU flags adorning it. However, having said that, the whole Village vibe around Washington Square Park was pretty cool.

Columbia was just the opposite. The campus itself was pretty damn nice. However, the whole Washington Heights vibe was pretty dismal and scary.

Off the top of my head, other schools I've visited and liked were Duke, Brown, Cornell, and UCLA. I visited Cornell during the summer and it was extremely picturesque. There was a gorgeous stream running right behind the law school.

Schools I wasn't too impressed with include Penn/Drexel, Harvard, Yale, Fordham, Tennessee, Florida, Emory, and Johns Hopkins.

Yale's university gothic architecture was nice, but the surrounding area of New Haven was ghetto trash.

Harvard was a large campus with many different schools to visit. However, the entire place, especially Harvard Yard, seemed more like a tourist attraction than a college. I've been there during the Summer and during the school year and every time I've been there, it seems like Harvard Yard was just filled with tourists taking pictures.

My daughter went to St. Andrews in Scotland, and my son wet to Sewanee. I think they chose them because of how beautiful they are.





Sewanee

Sewanee. When my brother was there I went to visit and I found it very inpressive.
