We have a love-hate relationship with school, but a couple clicks through these jaw-dropping campuses and we're packing our bags and stocking up on XL twin sheets. Read on to learn which universities and college campuses across the globe 

FLAGLER COLLEGE, FLORIDA

At Flager College, you can study where some get to vacation (literally).  This coastal campus is located in  St. Augustine, Florida, the oldest city in the United States.

TRINITY COLLEGE, DUBLIN

Modeled after the grand collegiate universities of Oxford and Cambridge, Trinity College was founded in 1592 and is one of the seven ancient universities of Britain and Ireland. The college features 25 different schools, so it makes sense that The Library of Trinity College holds more than 6.2 million printed volumes of manuscripts, maps and music.

THE UNIVERSITY OF THE SOUTH, TENNESSEE

This private, residential liberal arts college is owned by 28 southern dioceses of the Episcopal Church, hence the grandiose All Saints' Chapel. The university sits on atop sweeping 13,000 acres on the scenic Cumberland Plateau.

QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY, IRELAND

This university looks more like a palace fit for Irish royalty than a school for young 20-somethings. The Lanyon Building is noted as one of the most recognizable landmarks at Queen's University; however, the campus houses more than 250 buildings that resemble this gorgeous Gothic and Medieval style. 

PRINCETON UNIVERSITY, NEW JERSEY

Do colleges get better with age? It seems like that's the case with Princeton. The prestigious Ivy League university was founded in 1746 and is the fourth oldest higher-education institution in the U.S. The main campus sits on approximately 500 acres and incorporates a variety of architectural styles, ranging from High Victorian Gothic to Romanesque Revival. 

UNIVERSITY OF SALAMANCA, SPAIN

Founded in 1134, the school is the oldest university in Spain and the third oldest university in the world. The historic town is located west of Spain, between Castilla and León. Although modern renovations have occurred since, the majority of structures still mirror the 2,000-year-old style of Salmantica.
