There is no argument about that. Now whether a winding street is aesthetically more pleasing than one that is oriented to the campus, that's all simply subjective.

I live in a largely gridded city. We suck at land use and moving people. It's about governance and politics not so much the streets themselves. NYC and London, again, are examples of each style and do incredibly well in both instances. NY is extremely easy to navigate for tourists.
