32 Hidden College Campuses That Look Like Something Out of a Dream

20. Cranbrook Academy of Art (Michigan, USA): Total Design Immersion

This renowned graduate-only institution focuses intensely on art, design, and architecture. What makes it enigmatic is the campus itself – largely designed by Finnish architect Eliel Saarinen (father of Eero) in the Arts and Crafts/Art Deco style. It’s a cohesive, beautifully detailed environment where buildings, landscapes, sculptures, and even furniture feel part of a unified artistic vision. Students live and work immersed in this aesthetic legacy, fostering a unique, almost cult-like dedication to craft and design within a secluded, inspiring enclave.
