The list is here: http://www.thebestcolleges.org/most-beautiful-campuses/.

The title of the article is rather misleading as Old Miss comes in 28th on the list.

The list itself is rather suspect, IMHO, as it ranks Harvard (11th) ahead of Mr. Jefferson's University(17th). William and Mary at #8 is also a bit of a surprise to me. (I don't have degrees from any of these, but I have walked their grounds more than once each. I have attended quite a few classes as an adult at UVa.)

If they're doing beautiful campuses, I would nominate Western Oregon University and the University of Puget Sound. Their campuses were immaculately maintained when I visited.

And where is California State University, Northridge? It should have gotten on the list for the simple fact that the Oviatt Library has to be one of the most recognized buildings on Earth. It's most recent major role was as Star Fleet Academy in the Star Trek movie.

it is misleading...it started with a Gannett org which I can’t paste here...their title and then repeated by others...I think it should have said leads SEC or maybe led in the aggregated overall given high placements on several scales

but you are right
