<p>I think OP is looking for a looser definition here! So, for a hippie-crunchy-granola-activist vibe, then I’d say not so much Tufts and Middlebury, except in the sense that most liberal arts colleges in the east tend to be left-leaning. But if what you’re looking for is a high tolerance–even fostering–of quirky individuality, then i’d say definitely Hampshire, definitely Bennington, definitely Oberlin, definitely Brown, definitely Wesleyan!</p>
