<p>As per your identical post elsewhere-UNC Asheville</p>
<p>Wake Forest? Gay Rights? Ha ha ha ha!</p>
<p>Sorry. Just had to get that out of my system.</p>

<p>Honey, do you realize why there are Red states and Blue states? </p>
<p>You arenât going to find a lot of hippie loving schools down in Dixie!</p>
<p>The schools on your list are also really hard to get into, and I hope you are at the top of your class. </p>
<p>If you are hellbent on gay friendly vegans, is Brown good enough for you? Oops, itâs not in the south â but itâs in southern N England!</p>
<p>If your idea of a hippie is one who shops at American Apparel, you probably can go to any of the schools on your list.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Thatâs not true if you consider North Carolina to be Dixie. UNC Asheville and Warren Wilson College (in Asheville) - make you feel like youâre back in the Haight in 1967!</p>
<p>Yes, Iâm still stuck on the concept of neo-hippyâŠwhat the heck is a neo-hippy? Is it a hippy who likes to shop?</p>
<p>No self respecting hippie - neo or not - shops at Urban Outfitters. </p>
<p>Oberlin certainly comes to mind. In the 70s, I considered Chapel Hill to be the hippie nirvana of the south. Recently, I visited Boone NC and that is where the hippies went to retire.</p>
<p>Asheville is pretty much the center of the hippie universe, such as I can tell, at least east of the Rockies.</p>
<p>The OP is profoundly out of step with the mainstream of students at the schools she mentioned, including Davidson. (I hope the OP is female. If the OP is male, he really ought to be re-thinking things, and looking much, much harder at Wesleyan.) For that reason, if she is a good student, I would think that she would have a pretty good chance to get accepted at any of them. NYC hipsters may be functional URMs in the Southern Preppy Belt.</p>
<p>Yurtle â isnât that a bit harsh?</p>
<p>OP: Are you sure youâre not a â â â â â ? These schools fit your criteria less than a random list of schools.</p>
<p>These are among the least feminist, hippie schools you could make a list of.</p>
<p>If you want to be in the South I would suggest GW, University of MDCP, University of Delaware (not technically south I know), Wash U., University of Texas at Austin, and maybe Rice. Of your original list I would go with Emory.</p>
<p>Brown good enough for you? Oops, itâs not in the south â but itâs in southern N England!</p>
<p>Soundâs suthern to me ;)</p>
<p>If it has to be a research U and out of the north, isnât Berkeley an obvious choice?</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Also having lived in NY all my life, I would like to leave the north <<<</p>
<p>many national universities have pockets of hippies. But generally that is not the overall culture of the school.</p>
<p>Save the âbetter research opportunitilesâ for grad school.
Seriously check out Warren Wilson College. Itâs tiny but 95% of the student body is just like you. Most student come from the Northeast and Asheville is not really a âsouthernâ city. Itâs more like a NE city located in North Carolina. My first visit and I thought I was back in the 70âs</p>
<p>[Warren</a> Wilson College](<a href=âhttp://www.warren-wilson.edu%5DWarrenâ>http://www.warren-wilson.edu)</p>
<p>As an undergrad, you can often get the best research opportunities, or at least the MOST research opportunities, at an LAC with a strong science program, rather than a national university where youâll be competing with grad students and other undergrads for spots on the best projects. LACs with well funded science programs produce compelling research as well, often in excellent facilities, albeit on a smaller scale. </p>
<p>But in general, i think this is a â â â â â post.</p>
<p>

<p>You posted this a few days ago, Skater Girl. Iâm not sure how this fits with the current question youâre posing. Have you already been admitted to the schools on your list? What kind of financial aid did they give you, and why did these two schools drop off your list?</p>
<p>Cross posted with above^^^
Agree- â â â â â post.</p>
<p>Inthebizâ</p>
<p>Dixie to me is Ala, Miss, etc. I was going for alliteration!</p>
<p>I think OP is a â â â â â . </p>
<p>As far as where hippies shop goes, all the teenage hippies I know shop in thrift stores, or their parentsâ attics.</p>
<p>According to urban dictionary, a neo-hippie is: [Urban</a> Dictionary: Neo-Hippie](<a href=âhttp://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?defid=49251&term=Neo-Hippie]Urbanâ>Urban Dictionary: Neo-Hippie)</p>
<p>Neo-Hippie 221 up, 78 down</p>
<p>buy neo-hippie mugs, tshirts and magnets
neo-hippie is not anything of the above. it is not simply a vegeatarian, a pothead, a tie-dye wearer, someone who does not shower regularly, a rights activist, a person interested in spirituality or a person concerned with nature. a neo-hippy can not be defined or categorized, but may be someone who wants to take a stand for what they believe, whether political or otherwise, someone who believes in peace and love, or someone who can identify with the values of other people labeled as âneo-hippiesâ</p>
<p>So, not quite the hippies that we knew or grew up with, and Iâm not sure if itâs how the OP would categorize herself either. I think of Salvation Army and Goodwill as the go-to store for hippies myself.</p>
<p>The post is hilarious. Is OP a hippie or a hipster? A real hippie would spell it correctly and NOT shop at American Apparel.</p>
<p>so what is wrong with american Apparel?
My D used to like it, because the clothing is supposedly made in US-( she isnât a hippie though) although I donât have the impression it is made for 50 yr old bodies- I do have a couple things though.</p>
<p>I donât have a problem with American Apparel at all, but no self-respecting, self-proclaimed hippie I know would shop there. Itâs Goodwill and Thrifttown and the guy on the street selling tie-dye.</p>
<p>Oh puke.
Tie dye?
Well Reed has the " bins" ( free bins in front of the thrift store)
But I suppose " real hippies" would go to Evergreen and party at the Oregon Country Fair in Eugene.</p>
<p>( And would hippies even go to college? Sounds like a lot of work)
