  2. University of Chicago: Two thumbs way up. Modeled after Oxford, the campus is now a stunning mix of classic Gothic architecture and modern design, with some Frank LLoyd Wright thrown in. One of the largest university libraries in the world was built over the lab where the first nuclear reactor was created.
