What college campus out there do you think is best for runners? Like places to run on campus, scenery, etc., besides the typical CU, Stanford, NAU, or Oregon. I'm looking for lesser known schools out there.

Great, another "where do you go to school" thread...
It's great here at Adams College. I'll show you how to toss the javelin.
Nothing special at Purdue.
Pepperdine is pretty sweet. Did a workout on the track there a couple of times. Nice view.
Dartmouth...trails everywhere
I heard Berry College in Georgia is supposed to have a crazy big campus with trails all over the damn place.
Pepperdine's track is sweet. That being said, they are within like 10 minutes of some of the nicest running trails in So Cal but their school won't let them take vans off campus to get to them. Weird, but I wouldn't say Pepperdine is a great place for on campus running.
St. John's University in Minnesota
Duke, the locals are fun.
Syracuse University has some very dangerous neighborhoods right off campus. You better get through there fast or you could be dead. Plenty of traffic and pollution, too!
Binghamton University has miles of hilly country roads behind the campus. It's great, except in the winter when it could get a little snowy. This year was fine until mid-Feb. There are also plenty of areas around the Triple Cities where their local running club runs- the city is not crowded and you can be in the country within a mile or two from wherever you start. Otsinengo Park has a 3+ mile loop.
I spent a month there on business last fall. Very enthusiastic local high school XC seen. I was at a dual meet where there was TV and newspaper coverage and hundreds of spectators, very cool. Too bad the University couldn't get that support.
Cornell, monkey run is awesome
bump
Stanford
Berry College does have a big campus something like 28,000 acres. There are over 100 miles of trails on the mountain and the flats surrounding. The weather is also great for all but July and August in the afternoon.

Hahahaha....come on, it's in the middle of a cornfield. Oh wait no, that was 10 years ago, now it's in the middle of a field of identically ugly student apartment buildings.
Still, there is the river trail and the ravines are scenic. And the dirt roads are very runner-friendly....although they're disappearing as fast as the corn fields. The new 300m indoor track will make the campus MUCH nicer when that's done!
Plus GVSU should get bonus points for the fact that you get to do hill repeats next to a sewage plant. Well, maybe not.
