IU and UofM take the cake for me. Not only are the campuses themselves absolutely flawless,but Bloomington and Ann Arbor (the towns they are in) are exactly what you want in a college town; great bars, diverse resturaunts, and beautiful landscapes. IU has gorgeous limestone buildings, set on rolling hills and nestled under beatifully aged trees. Michigan is also pretty amazing...their academic buildings are pretty ridiculous, especially the Michigan Union (IU Memorial Union is as equally stunning). As for the two worst, I'd say Illinois and Purdue because they are both fairly similar to each other: they are dreary campuses with no uniformity, ugly ass towns, and are the type of schools you are glad you never went to (even though they are both are great, academically). The land Northwestern is on is easily the best in the BigTen, but the campus itself (buildings, layout) is just average. So #1 is a tie between Michigan and Indiana.
