Question

Which campus from this list is the most beautiful? You can select 2 options.

Tarmac · Answer

Appearance doesn't mean much, but appearance is best at Stanford.

ko · Answer

I think you should add Cornell to the list. That campus is awesome.

jasonc · Answer

I vote to put Cornell up there!
Cornell has a gorgeous campus! ... in the summer

agold · Answer

If we're talking only the B-School campuses, and not the whole campus of the university, my vote goes to HBS and Chicago. I haven't seen Stanford though.

Is this in relation to the scenery, or the scenery ? :wink:

bherronp · Answer

I toured Stanford, Harvard, UCLA, Berkeley, Chicago and Michigan last fall. Of those, no question that Stanford has the best overall campus. If you are rating just the bschool parts though, that is a different story.

agold · Answer

If we're talking about the  scenery , then Kellogg hands down.

sam77sam7 · Answer

Really, I would have guessed Stanford or Haas!

agold · Answer

Actually they're up there as well, as is UCLA.

No debate...Tuck in October is the most gorgeous place to be.

I dont see how anyone could consider, Columbia, Yale, Chicago, MIT, or NYU attractive over all (ignoring individual buildings) Some are in terrible areas so besides the schools the areas are far from beautiful and others really dont have much of "campus" feels.

Raabend · Answer

I could vacation on Stanford's campus and pretend Im in Spain 8-)

Tarmac · Answer

Stanford campus looks great. The  SCENERY  at Stanford is dead last. Trust me

And Cornell is under snow for more than half of the school year.

kryzak · Answer

I think this poll needs to be clarified, or split into two. One is which school has the nice overall campus, and the other one is which school has the best B-school campus. HUGE difference. For example, Stanford has one of the nicest university campuses, but the b-school campus is one of the worst in the nation.

Harvard's campus is nice on both counts, but the B-school "campus" is quite impressive.

UofC's B-school building is amazing, but the campus is ok.

Berkeley/Haas actually has a good university and b-school campus, probably among the top 5 for both in those schools listed.

UCLA has an AMAZING campus and b-school, especially for a public school. I would say I generally prefer UCLA's campus (the university) more than Stanford's (which I find very nice, but kind of boring).

Northwestern has a great campus, but Kellogg is only so-so.

MIT... um... no comment on both counts

Cornell has a breathtaking campus with waterfalls and stuff, but I didn't check out their b-school building, so I don't know how good it is.

NYU doesn't really have much of a "campus" to speak of.

I would love to visit Tuck sometime in October, but in other times, probably not a good idea (especially in the winter)

cougarblue · Answer

I'd take Stanford (Palo Alto is gorgeous year round) but Tuck would be second.

Tarmac · Answer

It is pretty difficult for other schools to compete with Stanford on looks. It was designed with a massive budget at a time when there was almost nothing else in the area. It is sprawled over some of the finest land in america.

Other schools usually were built into an existing city or with far less relative budget, or both.

riverripper · Answer

Hmmm how many of those GSB votes are soon to be students?

I didnt even say NW and its location on the lake is really beautiful.

westsider · Answer

I am a norcal native, so I have seen plenty of the stanford/berkeley campuses.. no one is seriously suggesting haas for natural beauty (surroundins)?! I love the city of berkeley, don't get me wrong, but it is.. whats they word... fugly? haha... As for stanford (where my wife attended).. It is the worlds largest Taco Bell. OK, fine - maybe just "the worlds largest mexican restaurant" :-D

Theres nothing really wrong with it, but not inspiring by any means. UW seattle has a beautiful campus/surroundings AND surroundings . For everything to look nice, just stand with your BACK AGAINST the b-school buildings and look in any direction...

terry12 · Answer

Went with Stanford (admittedly biased) and Harvard, though I'm still a bit confused about whether we're voting on overall campus or just the B-school. If it's the latter, Stanford drops precipitously, though it'll spring back up when the Knight Center's finished in 2 years.

MGOBLUE2 · Answer

There is some major bias. I voted for Stanford and to me its not even close. That place is paradise.

Chicago has a great campus? Really? They have a great building, but I don't think that is the definition of campus.
