I'm surprised Cambridge isn't on there, considering how similar it is to Oxford.

It's all a matter of opinion anyway. Personally, I think Cambridge is the nicest.

Very nice, but I still think Founders at Royal Holloway is really rather spectacular.
Damn, I shouldn't have thrown away the mailer Kenyon sent me.

edit: looking at pictures, it reminds me a lot of other pwetty LACs, like Bryn Mawr (which is said to have the nicest student accommodation)
I would argue Royal Holloway should be in there....even if it is a crappy school.

Very America-oriented :yep: They do have some pretty campuses.
The air academy looks like god's razor blade.

Failure to recognise the incredible scenery of Exeter university is probably some sort of crime.

This is very true - it doesn't seem to belong on the list? Cambrige, Bath, Exeter, Royal Holloway are all much more attaractive than that ugly building? I bet this list was written by an American :yep:

Oh, and I don't think that oriental university (can't spell the name) is all that either, although the one in Italy is nice.

I can vouch for Bologna. Beautiful city.
Nottingham's campus looks pretty damn nice!
Urgh I hate American architecture. These are nearly all Anglo countries though - seems a bit biased to me.

Agree with all the comments saying Exeter should have been included. Yale's amazing though..
Why is Cambridge not on there!?
Oxford & Cambridge are not "campus" universities. Both have colleges & wider university faculties dotted around their respective cities. Architecturally splendid? Yes. A campus? No.
