Traveling around the SEC. Prettiest campuses that you have visited overall?

[Brave Volunteer]

U T and Ole Mss top all others.

I love UT but...scenically its not exactly Berry College.

 

[Volfan1000]

I like Ole Miss
Alabama
Parts of LSU

How would you rank them?

I have seen the Florida campus and I took a writing course at Tennessee during my college years.

 

[Vol49er]

I’ve only been to a few, but
Vandy
South Carolina
Tennessee
Texas

 

[FLVOL_79]

UT
Fake UT
Ole Miss
Georgia
Auburn
Florida
Ellesshew
Kentucky
Vandy
Bama
A&M
South Carolina
State

Never visited:
Mizzou
Arkansas
Oklahoma

Admittedly this reflects a bias in favor of urban campuses. I love Knoxville and Austin.

Mizzou is a sh!thole. OU is actually nice...probably the nicest spot in all of OK.

 

[Volfan1000]

Just so y’all know, OP is a Bama troll who hates UT. He got caught spilling hate about us on other sites lol.
I’ve been to Columbia many times. It’s a concrete dumpster.

I went to Myrtle Beach numerous times for vacations and drove through Columbia once.

Not conference but UVA is on a different level

Not conference but UVA is on a different level

Yeah non SEC, I’ve been to both Notre Dame and UVA and both were very nice. Thomas Jefferson designed UVA. Notre Dame was nice too.

 

[CampbellCountyVolFan10]

I really liked the UK campus when I went to the game there last year. Would like to go to another game there.

Can I get a gif of Fred from scooby doo taking the hood off the criminal and it being an Alabama logo underneath?

RECEIPTS! The internet is undefeated! Be gone foul wench!

Auburn and UGA (sadly) have very nice campuses.

I was tempted to go old school and throw GT on there, but nobody with functional eyes will every call that concrete mess beautiful.

 

[Volizona]

I like Ole Miss
Alabama
Parts of LSU

How would you rank them?

I’m going to ignore any post that includes Bama, the whole state, Tuscaloosa, the campus is one giant commode.

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Not in the SEC, but I did post-Grad at Notre Dame. That is the most beautiful campus I've ever seen.

Have you ever been to Sewanee?

Yes. Per my previous post calling out listing Bama as a pretty campus was a dead give away. The whole state is a massive trailer park. Bama and Pretty shouldn’t be in the same sentence.

 

[Volizona]

Bama is by far the best I've seen. I've seen Vandy, Auburn, and UT; but we have them beat when it comes to the stadium.

Another troll?

UGA has a lot of potential, but it looked run down when I went, but that was years ago.

 

[volwindy]

@volwindy how do you rank them?

This is a good one to put thought into. Campuses vs. Stadiums would be ranked very differently for me. Ex: Ole Miss great campus, crappy stadium.

 

[volwindy]

Auburn, Bama, Ole Miss, and Texas A&M somewhere at the top

Mizzou, Florida, LSU, somewhere in the middle

Georgia, Kentucky, Arkansas, Vandy, SC somewhere at the bottom.

Haven't been to: Miss St, Texas and Oklahoma

Also been to: Clemson, California, and Virginia Tech. Virginia Tech is beautiful!

Thank you, doing God’s work here. Good job!!

 

[BADGER_VOL]

i toured 31 campuses with my son before he settled at OU.

I believe it is so subjective based on personal taste.

Example: I could see how someone would think UVA is amazing. I thought it looked like Washington DC extended. Seemed cold. All brick and white. Not my taste.

Wake Forest had such a colonial look that I loved but wouldn’t want to go to school there. UT was beautiful and the mountains. Indiana University was gorgeous if you like the limestone. Duke was breath taking but felt like I was in a musuem. Vandy? I don’t get it folks. I was so underwhelmed. Few gorgeous buildings and that’s it. Michigan was very pretty. I live in WI and idk why anyone would think UW would be gorgeous.

Anyway I could answer that question 19 different ways but for me and my son’s taste we felt the same that OU’s campus had a Harry Potter vibe going on. He isn’t there for the beauty of campus but we felt it was somewhat up there for the 30 schools we visited and just fit his taste well. He’s a frosh and doing well.

(PS he would’ve considered UT a lot more but he wants to be a surgeon and OU’s just was rated higher and checked more boxes…bummer. Hoping my daughter goes UT lol anyone knows if they’re dance team is good?)

UGA has a lot of potential, but it looked run down when I went, but that was years ago.

Been a while for me also.

Used to go there quite frequently in my undergrad days though. Was a nice break from the 4 to 1 ratio at Tech if you knowhutimean.

Things could have changed I guess.

Honestly, when you have so much space you can do some amazing things. UT, the fake UT, Vandy, etc, even poor old GT are pretty much built out by this point and a city built around them. To build something new, you pretty much have to build up or tear down something else. Makes it kind of hard to keep older buildings-which are what gives every campus their charm. Strange huh?

Bama is by far the best I've seen. I've seen Vandy, Auburn, and UT; but we have them beat when it comes to the stadium.

Been to Bama, its a reasonably nice campus but not as good as UT. Not particularly impressed by Kentucky or Vandy. Haven't been to GA, but they were on SEC nation one time this year and the building that they set up in front of was sort of dumpy looking, not anything close to Ayres Hall. Seems like they would have found a better looking place to set up.

 

[DaddyChad]

Mississippi State is a beautiful campus.

Starkville is a dump.

Starkville is awesome as far as their baseball facilities. As far as the surrounding activities yeah not much in comparison to others.

 

[kiddiedoc]

Ole Miss (side note, my wife is an alumna)
Georgia
Bama

The others I've visited are all just kind of jank.

 

[EasternVol]

South Carolina at #2 will baffle people that have never seen anything but the stadium 5 miles away in an industrial park.

It baffles me and I've driven around their campus. Maybe I missed the good parts.
