Hip Intellectual Vibe Schools Unite!

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Which schools have that nerdy yet cool vibe? Schools that nobody has heard of? Urban schools? Small town schools? Nice campuses? Bookstore overload? Nearby concerts? Or whatever..</p>

2

<p>Wesleyan, Brown, Vassar, Smith, UChicago and more</p>

3

<p>Absolutely Carleton! Also Reed, Grinnell, Oberlin.</p>

4

<p>UChicago, for SURE. All that have been mentioned work.</p>

5

<p>Clark U., Worcester, MA. Earlham College, Indiana. New College, Florida.</p>

6

<p>Swarthmore and Haverford meet the critera, I believe. If you want to evaluate the most intellectual schools, you might want to take a look at what undergraduate LACs produce the highest proportional amount of PhDs.</p>

7

<p>Case Western. The college is on University Circle where the Cleveland Symphony plays.</p>

8

<p>I can't belive nobody's mentioned Reed yet!</p>

9

10

<p>I'm sure you meant, "Can't you reed?"</p>

<p>/lame</p>

<p>I'd mention Berkeley -- intellectual but cool with lots of bookstores (+ nice campus + urban + lots of concerts).</p>

12

<p>Bennington all the way! + Hampshire, Reed, Swarthmore and Bates</p>

13

<p>In the South, William & Mary and Davidson are intellectually cool.</p>

14

<p>MIT
hmmmm.</p>

15

<p>Are there any 'bigger' schools that come somewhat close?</p>

16

<p>^NYU is the closest I can think of. The students are really intelligent and ambitious, but also have an eclectic (often artsy) coolness to them.</p>

<p>And I don't think anyone's mentioned Rice yet, which is a perfect fit. Lots of nerds having lots of fun. ;)</p>

<p>Goucher (10 char).</p>
