What is Cottagecore?

Cottagecore on campus means soft aesthetics, nature nearby, and a slower, intentional social rhythm—less hustle culture, more community gardens and craft fairs.

Students often gravitate to environmental studies, design, literature, or studio arts in settings that feel human-scale.

The vibe is wholesome and grounded: study nooks, seasonal traditions, and schools where the outdoors is part of daily life.

What makes a Cottagecore school?

Green, walkable campuses with gardens, trails, or rural charm close by
Active arts, sustainability, or liberal arts communities with a cozy social scene
Smaller-town or suburban settings that feel peaceful, not overwhelming
