22. Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore, Maryland)

Johns Hopkins University, renowned for its medical and research excellence, often serves as a backdrop for dramas focusing on science, medicine, or intellectual pursuits. Its Homewood campus, characterized by Collegiate Gothic architecture and picturesque green spaces, provides a dignified and serious academic setting. While perhaps less overtly "Hollywood" than some, its authentic scholarly ambiance made it a fitting location for scenes in The Social Network (doubling as Harvard again) and for medical dramas, lending credibility to stories set in cutting-edge research environments. Its serene campus subtly conveys a world of serious study and groundbreaking discovery.
