Look, I know the title will make you want to skip, but I do need help. The dark academia vibe of a campus helps me study better. I am having a hard time with this because of the favored modernism of today's time. Do you have any recommendations?
You might want to google Collegiate Gothic style. I found these campuses that seem after a quick look to have the right vibe (and weren't Ivy+ institutions that are impossible to get into):
Sewanee, Mount Berry, Salve Regina, and Rhodes.
Many universities in the New England region have a dark academia style, like Boston College. You could also go the international route and go to the UK.
