Chaotic academia is probably the most realistic academia aesthetic. This aesthetic is all about the chaos and messiness of being a student. Banned literature, fun sweater vests, random knick knacks are all aspects you will find in chaotic academia. I love this aesthetic because it is fun and goofy but also very stylish at the same time. So if any of these things sound appealing to you then chaotic academia might be the aesthetic for you.
