I've seen a number of them and I'd have to say Denison would be tough to top, but I'm willing to give others a chance.

Kenyon College. I'd say that Denison is a pretty close second.

I haven't been to very many of them but out of all the ones I've seen, I have to say Cincinnati for the architecture. I didn't really like BGSU, Ohio State is nice but its so big, it depends on what part of campus you're talking about. Miami's is beautiful.

Wittenburg.

Well, maybe.

Miami is beautiful and without any 60's crap, but the architecture isn't fantastic.

I have a conflict of interest on this topic, so I will recuse myself from the discussion.

Who doesn't have a conflict of interest? lol Your avatar is making me want skyline. The one in Columbus closes way too early!

Kenyon College.

Second place, Denison.

Third place, Glen Helen/Antioch...until next year

.

For large colleges, Miami University has the "prettiest," though OU has some nice areas too.

Tri-C's Metro Campus, of course! Brutalism is in again, afterall.

dmerkow · « **Reply #9 on:** August 12, 2007, 04:18:09 PM »

Toledo actually has a surprising nice campus, especially the core area along Bancroft near UHall.

mrnyc · « **Reply #10 on:** August 12, 2007, 04:54:52 PM »

if you want a campus starchitecture tour try oberlin for the old masters and cincinnati for the latest.

otherwise, if i had to choose just one i tend to agree with evryone else on kenyon.

if you want to see some live music on campus my fav place is wittenberg....sometimes they would bring out sandwiches and stuff after shows in the fieldhouse. very private school cute!

Miami and Dayton, everything is brick.

oakiehigh · « **Reply #12 on:** August 12, 2007, 11:31:20 PM »

AGREE WITH MIAMI!

LincolnKennedy · « **Reply #13 on:** August 13, 2007, 01:19:35 AM »

I really like the setting of OU. I can't say I've been to many other colleges in Ohio, aside from UC and OU. Xavier has one of the worst however. The brown and poorly executed medieval motif, coupled with the modest bungalows containing the finance office or the department of american studies or whatever makes for a pretty poor showing.

I've found that in general I enjoy the Brutalist style. Though would UC's Crosely Tower count as brutalist? I don't think so. I don't enjoy that building.

I think it depends more so on your tastes in architecture....beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I, for one, don't care for the ideallyic campus setting...blech.

To each their own

UC needs more trees, but so do a lot of other schools that are mostly new buildings.

CBC · « **Reply #16 on:** August 13, 2007, 04:02:53 AM »

I am biased but I am going with OU, the campus combined with uptown Athens and the hills can't be beat. The only downside are the South green buildings for the 70's that don't quite fit.

Matches · « **Reply #17 on:** August 13, 2007, 04:21:29 AM »

Progressive's Wilson Mills campus

Confiteordeo · « **Reply #18 on:** August 13, 2007, 04:29:58 AM »

I personally think Case has a very beautiful campus. I don't know how it compares to other ones in the state, though, because I haven't visited many.

3231 · « **Reply #19 on:** August 13, 2007, 04:42:25 AM »

I'd say that Case has a very unique campus. It has too many ugly buildings to really qualify as beautiful campus. But if you consider all the non-campus buildings in the area, then I see your point.

igon · « **Reply #20 on:** August 13, 2007, 08:44:44 AM »

I always thought Raymond Walters was special....

RiverViewer · « **Reply #21 on:** August 13, 2007, 02:32:49 PM »

If you forget that there are Northside dorms, Case has a wonderful campus...have they torn those dorms down yet?

But even as wonderful as it is, there are lots of prettier campuses in the state - lots of them...though toss in Severence Hall, the Lagoon and the Art Museum, and that's a tough trio to beat...

They have not torn them down yet. (its on one of those gosh darn master plans, which they just updated in the last year and I haven't looked at yet).

Have you seen the new Ones they built on E. 115th where the football fields used to be?

Case Mather Quad, Yay.
Case South Quad, 1960s monstrosities.

No...but then, I went there for two years and never saw the football fields...

Athens, OH

I've been to most colleges in Ohio at some point or another...Athens wins hands down...the trees and the hills are great.

I find Ohio State's Columbus campus to be very pretty and clean. I also really like the urban feel of it.

^The south side is nice; the north side is trash.
