<p>The ivies (not the entirety of them, but each of them has parts), Duke, Notre Dame, Boston College, U chicago, Bryn Mawr, hell I’m surprised there isn’t a “mattel bandai gothic architecture playset” at this point in time.</p>

<p>Rhodes College. Here’s a slideshow of photos one of the religious studies professors put together: [Rhodes</a> campus album | Tom Bremer | Fotki.com](<a href=“http://public.fotki.com/TomBremer/open_shots/rhodes_campus/]Rhodes”>http://public.fotki.com/TomBremer/open_shots/rhodes_campus/)</p>

<p>Also Trinity College in Connecticut, U of Toledo.</p>

<p>Well, there are all the well known ones (Princeton, ND, etc) but the pictures I’ve seen of Virginia Tech actually look like they’ve done a pretty good job with their neogothic buildings.</p>

<p>Fordham University in New York has some of the most beautiful Gothic architecture around:</p>

<p>…and much more.</p>

<p>I was very impressed with the gothic architecture at Kenyon.</p>

<p>You want Gothic, go to Oxford or Cambridge. Every example of “Gothic” in the United States is fake.</p>

10

<p>Um, this may sound like a crazy suggestion, but…Oxford? (duh?)</p>

11

<p>^ ilovebagels already mentioned Oxford</p>

12

<p>How about Washington St. Louis?</p>

13

<p>^^ Yes, Wash U’s buildings are designed in what they describe as “collegiate gothic.” [Washington</a> University in St. Louis](<a href=“http://www.wustl.edu%5DWashington”>http://www.wustl.edu)</p>

14

<p>Aside from Cambridge and Oxford, there’s Durham, St Andrews, Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow that are well endowed with Gothic architectural edifices. </p>

<p>In the US, Duke, Chicago, Yale, Princeton and the University of the South.</p>

15

<p>One school that’s been neglected: Swarthmore. Or parts of it at least.</p>

16

<p>Oh! And Lehigh.</p>

17

<p>u of Chicago</p>

18

<p>Notre Dame’s architecture is beautiful, but is it actually Gothic? Same with Kenyon?</p>

19

<p>Kenyon’s Gothic architecture is not fake. They brought English artisans/craftsmen to OH to put the buildings together. Almost all stayed and now their children are, in many cases, continuing maintenance of the college.</p>

<p>I’m not questioning whether it’s fake or not, just whether the style is Gothic. Isn’t it more some sort of French Renaissance Blah Blah or whatever?</p>
