Rowan U: One of the 10 Ugliest Campus in America?

Three New Jersey colleges are among the ugliest campuses in the nation, according to a list recently published by Complex.com.

The website believes Rowan University, in Glassboro, is the ugliest campus in the entire state, and tenth-ugliest in the country. New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) in Newark was 14th.

The New Brunswick campus of Rutgers University ranked 26, with criticisms of its reliance on a bus service that “leaves little room for a proper college experience.”

The website praises Rutgers’ older buildings as “university gems,” but calls the newer structures “eyesores” by comparison.

Complex hammers the NJIT campus as comprising a “dizzying variety of building styles” that form “haphazard, ugly” grounds.

Complex saved its most scathing review for Rowan University, however, calling it a “campus in need of a lot of love,” with water-stained buildings surrounded by “ill-placed technical equipment and dumpsters.”

Complex named Ava Maria University, in Ava Maria Florida, as the ugliest college campus in the country: its buildings form a horseshoe around a church.
