The Blue Board

Miami is a gorgeous campus. Just doesn't have the gameday, but everything else is top notch.

Northwestern is the same way.

College of Charleston was also nice(from what I remember between blurrs)

Totally agree about Miami U. Went on a campus visit and if I hadn't gotten into UW-Madison I would have gone to Miami. Absolutely gorgeous campus.

I didn't think UCLA was all that great. Love SoCal, but the campus was a little sterile, IMO.

ND is worth a game day visit. The Golden Dome and the Library are iconic buildings,
The grotto, Diag and march from the church to the stadium is a nice traditions. The stadium sucks ass though (j/k).

Pepperdine is ridiculous, overlooking the Pacific.

Duke is beautiful.

Of course, Saturday in Ann Arbor is the gold standard for which every school in the nation strives to imitate. No bias. None whatsoever.

As far as Wisconsin goes, I'm obviously going to be a bit biased. Nothing like the view from the Memorial Union Terrace in late April / early May with a pitcher of New Glarus beer. Tough choice between that and going to class or studying. I am not a man of great will power so you can guess where I usually was.

As far as other campuses / college towns go, I really like Michigan. Ann Arbor, like Madison, is about as good a college town there is. Also recently spent some time at UCLA and I liked the look of the campus. I've heard awesome things about UNC and Washington, but haven't gotten a chance to go and from the pictures I've seen Stanford looks awesome. I will say I think Michigan State is under rated. From what I could tell from my time there it could use a better bar scene, but if were just talking about the physical beauty of the campus MSU would be right up there.

For those that haven't been to Madison, here is the view from the Union Terrace. Just a great spot to have a beer in late spring, summer, and early fall.

Most of us were OSU or ND fans

Not even close to any other campus. This this this and then have your little debate. When MSU was in the Rosebowl 25 years ago, a high school friend was at Pepperdine so the side trip was necessary. I was dumbfounded and shocked and wondered how he could study there. Jebus.

ND's campus is great for a game day. I scored some Handicapp EE tickets once which parked us about 50 yards from the stadium for tailgating one year. Southbend sucks though

Love Ann Arbor the town, the golf course is epic fun, the stadium was one big suck until they built up the suites. It's loud now, and the stadium finally matches the saturday atmosphere. For years that was 100,000 people yelling straight up in the air and it never really got loud.

Come to Michigan State sometime, I'll get you a great tailgate spot and show you BY FAR the best looking girls in the big ten and where they hangout. I personally think MSU has a lot to work on as far as tailgate policies. The Admin sucks because after a ND night game years ago what happened. They really clamped down on tailgating.

Born in Milwaukee here, and if you have never been to Lambeau for a tailgate and game, you really aren't a football fan. It should be on everyone's bucket list.

Madison is the best big ten party town. Not even close to any other. Wisconsin native here which by the Grace of God I became a Spartan. But Madison is Madison and I don't think anyone understands that unless you have been there.

Duke would probably be the nicest one I've seen as well. I actually got married to my ex wife in their little flower plaza about five years ago. My ex wife was got all her degrees from Duke. Funny thing about Duke is that Durham is a fvcking junktown ghetto outside of the campus itself.

I do enjoy Franklin Street but I'm a nutjob anyway. I mean I grew up in Birmingham for god's sake. Durham does have it's issues though.

You're making my decision even harder man!

Out of Bama and AU, Bama wins easily. Campus was very nice, people not so much
