<p>Which solid academic LACs have both some cultural diversity and a sizeable "hippie" population?</p>
<p>Pitzer, Lewis & Clark, Reed</p>
<p>UC Santa Cruz ok its not a LAC but might as well be</p>
<p>Bard, Hampshire</p>
<p>Vassar, Wesleyan, NYU to an extent</p>
<p>Swarthmore and Brown (tho not LAC)</p>
<p>BARD, HAMPSHIRE
and wesleyan and vassar.
hippie central. :)</p>
<p>Also heard that term thrown out for Colorado College but can not verify</p>
<p>Wesleyan University, man ;D</p>
<p>Oberlin. Whitman probably has hippies, but it isn't too culturally diverse.</p>
<p>Are you talking now or in the 60's and 70s? </p>
<p>Neither Brown nor Swarthmore is a "hippie" school today.</p>
<p>The "hippie" dorm in the 60's and 70's at Swat was Mary Lyons. In the late 50's it was the "beat" or "bohemian" dorm. Today it's popular with science fiction and role playing gamers.</p>
<p>geeks and rich white liberals</p>
<p>Which category do the 12% receiving Pell Grants fall into? Geeks or rich white liberals?</p>
<p>The 7% African American students? The 16% Asian American students? The 9% Latino students? The 6% International students? Are those all geeks? Or rich white liberals?</p>
<p>Prescott College (is it still around?) and Goddard College</p>
<p>Only 12% receive Pell Grants?!?!</p>
<p>Earlham, Evergreen, Bennington and Oberlin...and to a certain extent Beloit, Clark U and Skidmore. The Johnston Center at the University of Redlands is also a piece of Berkeley circa 1969 plunked down in 2005 Southern California.</p>
<p>Cal State Humboldt</p>
<p>I'll second Humboldt.</p>
<p>New College of Florida is a top ranked Public LAc, and extremely hippie-friendly. In fact, High Times Magazine has listed it in the top ten most "pot-friendly" campuses in the U.S. every year.</p>
<p>I slap my head. Of course Humboldt. It's on my daughter's list mainly because of its hippie-ness. :)</p>
<p>I think first you have to define what a "hippie" is.
I think of a hippie being relatively low- key- only becoming intense when discussing grateful dead riffs or reminiscing about their vintage glass bong.
Reedies are intense, but just because they don't shower during finals week doesn't mean they are hippies, it is more likely that they haven't left the library except to turn in papers. ;)</p>
