Exit from King's College (to the right) and entrance to Clare College (centre), Cambridge. When thinking about 'college architecture' - if there is such a thing - one thing becomes clear here in Cambridge: it is often the architecture of monuments (or even cemeteries) and castles. Heavy stone usually is the building material and the buildings themselves are meant to last and to be there long after the death of those who constructed them. A tombstone here and there would not feel out of place. But then, there are the students and others on their bicycles and the strange impression of a necropolis is washing away. Fuji X-E2.
Dusk over Marischal College, Aberdeen.
Marischal College is the second-largest granite building in the world, after the Escorial in Spain.
It blends two architectural styles: the ‘perpendicular gothic’ of A. Marshall Mackenzie (1890s) and the more austere design of Archibald Simpson (1837). The building combines various granite-working techniques, using Rubislaw stone for Simpson’s original structure and Kemnay granite for the later gothic addition.
Originally built for Aberdeen University, it underwent extensive restoration and has been the headquarters for Aberdeen City Council since 2011.

The second quadrangle at Jesus college. This part of the college was begun in 1640, the work was interrupted by the Civil war and resumed again in 1676, and it not completely finished until 1712. It's famous the Dutch gables (which is what that type of 'facade topping' is called).
The Collège de France, founded in 1530, is a renowned higher education and research establishment (grand établissement) in France and an affiliate college of PSL University. It is located in Paris, in the 5th arrondissement, or Latin Quarter, across the street from the historical campus of La Sorbonne. The Collège is considered to be France's most prestigious research university. As of 2017, 21 Nobel Prize winners and 8 Fields Medalists have been affiliated with the Collège.
This Cambridge college was founded (and this part of the college built) in the 1880s. The style is Victorian Late Perpendicular Gothic Revival (though to my untrained eyes it looks an awful lot like Tudor revival), designed by the architect Sir Arthur Blomfield.

Eton College is a 13–18 independent boarding school and sixth form for boys in the parish of Eton, near Windsor in Berkshire.
Oxford University. This college was closed to the public so I took the photo from the entrance arch over the gate. It was open doors weekend in Oxford. Some opened to the public on Saturday and some on Sunday. Our photowalk was on the Sunday so assume this was accessible the previous day.
Taken on a very foggy morning on the campus of Western Oregon University which is about four blocks from my house.

I like the way the small tree added to the rather elegant architecture of the cloister in Magdalen College in Oxford
The Cloister or Great Quad was built in 1474–80 by William Orchard and has been altered several times down the centuries it has though never lost is medieval charm

Le Collège franco-britannique est géré par la fondation nationale Cité internationale universitaire de Paris. Le bâtiment a Inauguré le 16 juillet 1937. Il a été créé par Pierre Martin et Maurice Vieu, deux architectes qui furent aussi les auteurs de la Maison des étudiants de l’Asie du Sud-Est. Ils ont imaginé un bâtiment sobre et harmonieux. Son style architectural est ancré dans la tradition britannique des « red brick universities » : brique rouge sombre, toitures à forte pente, pignons éclairés par des bow-windows, baies à meneaux, tourelles pour les escaliers, rappellent les collèges d’outre-Manche.

The Chapel was built in the eighteenth century. Three people were responsible for its diffent stages and lengthy construction.which took from 1720-91, Dr George Clarke, Henry Keane and James Wyatt. It took this long due to shortage of funds.Between 1864 and 1866 the chapel was re-decorated by Wiliam Burges in a highly unusual and decorative way being prodominantly pink , the pew ends are decorated with carved animals of all kinds including Rhino's and Elephants. The stained glasswere to have been designed by John Everett Milais, but the designs were rejected by Burges and later given Henry Holiday.Oscar Wilde said of the Chapel, 'As a piece of simple decorative and beautiful art it is perfect, and the windows very artistic.

Lancing College, Lancing, West Sussex
Situated on a hillside overlooking the River Adur, the chapel is an iconic landmark in the area.
The college itself was founded in 1848, and although the foundation stone for the chapel was laid in 1868, and the building mostly competed by 1911, the finishing touches were not completed until 2022!
