Colleges That Feel Like a Harry Potter Setting?

This may sound kinda funny, but I am a big Harry Potter enthusiast and I'm just wondering. Are there colleges that have a Harry Potter vibe with their architecture or traditions? Maybe I could find a college where I can study and feel like I'm at Hogwarts!

Sure, it's not uncommon to hear students describe their colleges as "Hogwarts" because of their old-world architecture and traditions. There are a few colleges that might give off that vibe purely based on their architectural styles:

1. University of Chicago: Known for its Gothic architecture and cobblestone walkways, the University of Chicago transports its students to an entirely different world. The towering buildings, the ivy-covered walls, and the winding stairways all combine to create an atmosphere that's truly magical.

2. Princeton University: Princeton’s campus is beautifully designed with structures dating back to the late 18th century. The stone buildings and old trees throughout the campus make a perfect backdrop for an immersive study session.

3. Oxford University: The architecture itself at Oxford is probably the most reminiscent of Hogwarts because J.K. Rowling drew a lot of her inspiration from Oxford. While studying in the centuries-old stone halls or walking through the lush courtyards, you might feel like Harry Potter himself.

4. Duke University: The Duke Chapel, Gothic-style architecture, and the beautiful landscape of this campus are all contributing factors for it to make the list.

5. Yale University: Yale’s Collegiate Gothic architecture and historic residential colleges make the place steeped in traditional collegiate ambiance.

6. University of Toronto: While not in the US, the University of Toronto, especially University College, provides strong Hogwarts vibes with its castle-like building architecture.

Hope this list helps sort out some options!
