The development of today’s technology and science make it compulsory to adapt the teaching environment to the needs of the period. This research aims to determine what real actors of education students’ dream of studying in a scientific learning environment. 266 5th grade secondary school students selected from metropolitan (N = 134) and rural (N = 132) areas were participants in the research designed in the descriptive survey study. Student drawings were used as a data collection tool. Chi-Square tests were applied in the comparison of the obtained data. In the light of the findings obtained from the research, the scientific learning environments of rural and metropolitan students' dreams are very different from the existing educational environments; they are related to the environment they live in, intertwined with nature, integrating fun and comfortable environments that meet the requirements of today's technology. Additionally, at the end of the research, an architect turned patterns consisting of student drawings into an ideal science learning environment design. Furthermore, the checklist used in the analysis of the drawings and whose validity and reliability studies were carried out was presented for the use of the researchers.
