If you didn’t walk around campus on a sunny day and think to yourself, God, my school is so pretty, you did it wrong. Not that it’s what’s on the outside that counts or anything (it is), but beauty makes the world go round. Kidding! (I’m not.) It’s not just the vanity in me, or my mother’s influence speaking here, either. Graduates from universities with particularly beautiful campuses regularly reported higher levels of satisfaction with their college experiences. Suck on that, people who say “beauty isn’t everything!”
