I live close to Covenant and Berry, both a pretty legit. Covenant has an insanely nice view though.

Louisville? Are you kidding me? Really?
I'm pretty sure almost all of their 10 "points" came in the "on the Historic Registry" categories since a handful on campus are as well as the Civil War Monument on 3rd and the Speed Museum.
It certainly wasn't for aesthetics.

Georgia's campus is really beautiful.
I don't agree with Louisville being up there at all.

My brother went to Sewanee or the University of the South.
It is a very impressive campus. He will get a kick out of this so thanks for the link.

UVA has a fricking awesome campus. That is all I will add to this thread.
Nicest campus I've ever been on for sure
Helps that Charlottesville is incredible too

No College of Charleston? List is shite.
Pretty much the whole campus is on the National Registry

Have they ever been to Samford? I honestly can't take a list seriously that has Samford in the top 25. There is nothing bad about the campus, but it is extremely average.

No UGA? wtf
For the most part, I agree with the the majority of their list though. However, I'd replace a few

Totally agree. Beautiful campus. Beautiful City. And ho-lee-frick the ladies...

LSU, OM, and Bama are my 3 most beautiful/favorites along with UGA

And I like Emory and Mercer both just fine, but they're not better looking campuses than UGA. Agnes Scott maybe, but only because the campus is relatively tiny. But especially Mercer. It's got aspects that are pretty to drive or walk by, but most of the time you're just hoping to not get mugged for the third time that week.

I've been to 13 of the 30. I don't disagree with any of them, though I'd probably rank UNC higher and Duke a touch lower (depending on how much you like the severer sorts of Gothic architecture, I suppose.)
