<p>Just wondering if there are any other colleges that have such a beautiful library as Vassar's? It looks like its straight out of Hogwarts. I feel like that type of library would make me want to go and study haha</p>

<p>Duke has a couple of very nice, gothic-style libraries (Bostock and Perkins). UNC-Chapel Hill also has a picturesque old-southern style library (Davis) that is beautiful on the inside as well.</p>

Davis has an excellent collection, but calling it picturesque is a stretch of the imagination by any definition. The decor belongs in the 70s, and the architecture would fit in at NC State. Wilson is far superior, in my opinion.</p>

<p>No thread would be complete without mention of the new Barret library at Rhodes. It’s absolutely gorgeous, inside and out.</p>
