Most beautiful college campus visited?

USC or William and Mary or UCSB. Ugliest? I've seen very few definitively "ugly" campuses. The UW campus during the winter tends to be muddy. I wasn't a fan of the WSU campus, either.

I haven't been to that many, but out of the ones I've seen (Clemson, South Carolina, Nebraska-Lincoln, Nebraska-Omaha, and maybe a few others), Clemson definitely takes the cake and that's not just because it's where I go. The others are all in urban areas where Clemson is in a small town. Just a better location in general.
I heard uni of washington got the best campus. smith is not bad either. cornell campus is good too, but too crowded
best: tie Ohio State & Mizzou (beautiful and spread out which is nice, MSU very nice too)
worst: U of Illinois - U/C (great school, run down buildings)
worst: U of Illinois - U/C (great school, run down buildings)
Please tell me you're joking... BU probably owns a total of ten square feet of grass. Maybe you're talking about Boston College...
The most beautiful campus I've visited is either Vanderbilt or Washington University in St. Louis. I like WashU's castle-like main building. Vanderbilt is a nationally designated arboretum.
It really depends on the time of year. In the spring and summer, there's nowhere like Rainier Vista at the University of Washington.

There are parts of lots of campuses I've liked; Berkeley has a cool feeling, Stanford is gorgeous. I've never been to any schools on the east coast, though, so I can't comment on those.

I have so far seen SUNY Old Westbury, SUNY Stony Brook, Columbia, and Rensselaer's campus's. If I had to rate them, Columbia would come first, then RPI's, and the two SUNY's are about equal.
Columbia technically isn't a city school. It has a gated campus, which just happens to be smack in the middle of New York City. NYU is a city school, which is very different then Columbia.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I also visitted Harvard, but this was back in the eighth grade on a school trip. From my memories, I guess it would go in between Columbia and RPI. Which would mean my final order is Columbia, Harvard, RPI, and then the two SUNY's.
dude RPI's campus sucks. could there be more square brick buildings and concrete. William and Mary is very nice, and I thought Cornell was pretty cool too.
RPI does sucks. too bad, the proof is 29mb video. RPI student made it and my buddy in RPI sent to me.
RPI was much better then the two SUNY's I've been too. I never said it was the best, but was definitely better than the SUNY one's.
I've only really visited three since I kinda didn't travel to visit that many colleges before choosing one(and the one I chose I never even went to).
But, I must say Columbia is very beautiful just from my short visit...
My own college, the University of Rochester looks like a ghetto version of it in many aspects, lol, but in the springtime it has it's own charm(during the winter it's too cold to care)
I've also visited Harvard in the past and part of MIT and Harvard from my memory wasn't all that great looking, and MIT I only saw like one building of so I won't judge it.
NYU was waaay too spread around and varied to really even be considered...it wasn't ugly, just random buildings around that neighborhood, the library was visually impressive from the bottom floor looking up though...many floors.
So anyway, from all the colleges I've visited I actually think my own college is decent. The academic quad can look very stunning, whether it's frozen as hell or blooming with flowers...it looks great.
And the front of our library was done by the same guy who did the Lincoln Memorial =)
