Hey everyone! As someone who's a huge fan of unique architecture, I'm looking for universities that offer a fairytale-like experience with buildings that look like castles. It's not the most important factor, but it's definitely something that could sway my decision. Does anyone know of any colleges that have this kind of cool, old-world architecture?
Hello there! My kiddo is also a huge fan of dreamy architecture, and during our college tours, we discovered a few campuses that might just be what you're looking for.
One that stands out is Princeton University; its collegiate gothic architecture is simply stunning and feels like you've stepped back in time. Another one to consider is Yale University - its gothic style with the stone buildings, courtyards, and towers are really something else. I remember the first time we visited; it truly felt like something out of a storybook. Duke University and the University of Chicago also have some impressive gothic architecture that imparts an old-world charm to the campuses.
While architecture is indeed captivating, I would encourage you to also consider the academic programs and campus culture at schools you are researching, ensuring they align with your goals and personality. Good luck on your search - I hope you find that perfect, inspiring campus!
