Only two SEC campuses made the Architectural Digest Top 64 most beautiful campuses in the nation. OLE MISS was ranked #24, first among SEC campuses (including UTa and OU); MISSOURI was the other campus.
The Lyceum Building at Ole Miss was the first academic building established on campus, built in 1848 by architect William Nichols. It’s easily one of the most beautiful college campuses in the US, and likely the most picturesque in Mississippi.
At #29 is the University of MISSOURI campus.....
The heart of Mizzou is the Francis Quadrangle, home to the six columns that are the only remaining part of the original Academic Hall, which burned down in 1892.
Congrats to Ole Miss & Mizzou!
Full List -- Univ of Hawaii@Manoa in Honolulu #1

Strong disagree with UPenn and Carnegie Mellon. Congested nightmares.
OM and Missouri are beautiful campuses- I would've picked at least 5 other SEC schools before I got to Vandy though (Bama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, LSU off the top of my head)
LSU absolutely deserves to be on this list

Glad to see the University of the South #12, well deserved (JMHO).

Why? What's wrong with the sentence?
(I'm not saying that nothing is wrong with the sentence. I really just mean that I can't find the problem, and I like such things. I would like to be shown the error!)

I'll give you Carnegie Mellon (great school, but fugly AF). UPenn is gorgeous, in spite of being in the city.
Many of those schools that were ranked, were ranked because the surrounding area is gorgeous, whereas the school is meh. UC-Boulder is gorgeous when you're looking around but the campus is sort bland.
IMHO, the surrounding area shouldn't be a factor in determining whether a campus is "pretty" or not. There are so many small colleges in the Northeast that are absolutely gorgeous, but they aren't on the list.

Ole Miss is a beautiful campus. And the scenery isn't too bad either.

Daym. My next thread was going to be about how ugly LSU aTM and TN are while calling TX a glorified homeless camp. Guess I’ll be thinking up another.

Also fun fact: the old administrative building was burned down by an electrical engineering blunder shortly after Thomas Edison founded their first EE program west of the Mississippi and arguably the first in the nation.

The only people here that are downplaying OM are butthurt MSU fans. OM is nice as is Bama, UGA, AU and LSU. All have highs and lows

Good to see Missouri up there. The quad is special.
