That earlier one is definitely the Naval Academy--I've spent enough time on and around that campus to recognize it.

Not sure if anybody got the next (last) one yet and I don't know what it is.

I'm going to post a photo. You can hold off guessing until you get the last one if nobody has yet. And no fair looking at the photo source

I am going to guess with some degree of confidence that it's West Point. It has a very West Point-y feel.

No one has gotten mine yet.

BTinSF's looks like a Mid-Atlantic school (like U of Maryland or John Hopkins or something). That foreground street reminds me of Charles Street in Baltimore (which would mean it's John Hopkins).

You are 96% right. It's Johns Hopkins.

somebody still has to correctly guess ColDayMan's submission of a Northeastern Ohio university renowned for its fashion program.

Someone already said Kent State, even if it's the wrong regional campus. It's Kent State in Kent.

Here's an obscure one:

^ Looks like Bennington College was correct.

Here's a small, somewhat obscure university in the U.S. It was founded in 1974 and has a student population of around 1000.

That's the whole thing or are we supposed to guess it from 2 buildings?

That's the administrative building in the first photo, and the library in the second. The campus is tiny, there isn't a lot to it, but I'll give another clue. Here is a photo of the founder.

Remember every, PLEASE please please try to keep it to one photo at a time. Obviously, it becomes very confusing when we have multiple photos going.

I think my pick is killing the thread. Here, this is a photo of a famous landmark flanking the city the school is located in.

Famous? Jeez--that could be lots of places. It looks like it's in Wyoming or Montana or maybe Idaho. I suppose even possibly the Sierra, which means California or maybe Nevada. The building looks like something you might find in the old west too. But I don't recognize the guy.
