BEST campus you've ever seen...

  • The Bloomberg Businessweek ranking is based on three elements: a survey of newly minted MBAs, a poll of corporate recruiters, and an evaluation of faculty research output. The MBA survey, which measures satisfaction with all aspects of the b-school experience, is combined with two previous MBA surveys. The corporate poll, which asks recruiters to identify the schools that produce the best graduates, is also combined with two previous recruiter surveys. Finally, Bloomberg Businessweek tallies the number of articles published by each school's faculty in 20 top journals and reviews of their books in three national publications. The total for faculty size is then adjusted and an intellectual-capital rating is assigned for each school. The MBA surveys and the recruiter polls each contribute 45% to the final ranking, with the intellectual-capital ranking contributing the final 10%.

    I was being facetious. Chicago is outstanding. But the fact remains very few would choose UC over a Harvard or Stanford MBA - unless it was being paid for or they wanted to stay local. You think the ND network is powerful? Harvard dwarfs it and UC's combined x1000. And it's global.

    Michigan State has a beautiful campus.

    Yale is amazing as well for the architecture, but my Harvard friends say it makes them want to puke.

    Princeton is better than both of them. Princeton is well, Princeton. You feel the ivy run through you....

    No question about that... and I've eaten in the Harvard Club in NYC and it's ridiculous the conversations you hear in that place. I'm like, "do these people control the world???" LOL...

    All nice schools, but Harvard's outreach like you said, is tremendous.

  • I've been to (in order from worst to best):
    NCST: ugly, huge
    VCU: spread out in the middle of Richmond, nuff said
    Radford: dumpy town, old buildings
    ODU: buildings are nice and new, but in the middle of Norfolk, surrounded by ghetto, also there is a lovely view of 7/11 at the quad
    ECU: average at best, some surrounding neighborhoods are ghetto
    Duke: nice old buildings that look mid-evil
    JMU: pretty good, little big though
    App State: ok campus, but great great town and area
    UVA: nice old look to it
    VT: use of "hokie stone" is nice and different, great area, nice buildings
    Chapel Hill: old look but very well kept up, nice foliage and trees, quiet town built around the school

  • Best overall campus I've seen was UVA. Just a beautiful place -- built and planned by Thomas Jefferson himself.

    I think the prettiest single spot on any campus, however, is Alabama's quad. Haven't seen a nicer one anywhere (including many of the Ivies I've visited).

  • Nicest campus I've ever seen in person is Washington University in St. Louis. I love the style of architecture and the plant life they have there. A close second is Northwestern. I haven't been to games at enough different schools to say which school has the best game day atmosphere.
