I need to find a nice, prestigious University that not only is good but has a very nice campus and is in a very nice city or nice part of a city. Thanks :)

Stanford is in Palo Alto, California, undoubtedly the nicest, safest place to live, but also the most expensive area.
Harvard is in a nice section of Boston, but also quite expensive.
Dartmouth is in a beautiful rural area of New Hampshire, a very safe area, and a beautiful campus, but much too cold and snowy for me.
You also might consider some of the older liberal arts colleges like the College of William and Mary, in Williamsburg, Virginia or Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland. All beautiful campuses in nice safe attractive towns.

The University of Texas main campus is in Austin, Texas, and it is a prestigious school and Austin is an excellent place to live. Unfortunately, UT has also been named as one of the United States' top party schools. It is a paradox--that a great school can also be a party school.

Some campuses in cities that are nice are Fordham in NYC, American University in a nice part of D.C., Boston College in Boston, the University of Chicago. Some nice schools in smaller cities are Duke, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Wesleyan in Middletown CT, Miami University of Ohio.
Some rural schools in smaller towns are Middlebury in VT, Wesleyan in CT,
If you like hot places, the University of Arizona in Tucson is big, but interesting. If you like a small rural town in ski country, Dartmouth or University of New Hampshire, Amherst, Cornell...

Cornell University is among the best universities in the US and is located in Ithaca NY - which is absolutely beautiful. The school overlooks Cayuga Lake, one of the Finger Lakes (carved by glaciers), is in the heart of the NY wine country, is surrounded by awe-inspiring gorges and waterfalls.
Only 4 hours drive from New York City too.
Check it out.

Duke University and the University of Virginia both provide excellent educations and have beautiful campuses. I'd say that Princeton does, as does Harvard, both in their own way, and no doubt there are fine schools out in California that do (of which I'm not as familiar.)
Why does it have to be a "university?" What about one of the smaller liberal arts colleges in the northeast? (e.g. Williams, Amherst, Wesleyan, Middlebury.) They are beautiful and provide excellent educations to those who can get in.
Good luck
