HuffPost names Grinnell #1 Hipster College

<p>The</a> Most Hipster Colleges</p>

<p>we alums are wondering if a) this means we are no longer cool enough for Grinnell, or b) we can consider ourselves hipsters-by-association? :D</p>

<p>My S was appalled at this listing, and hopes it won’t scare people away! If they designated Grinnell by virtue of its being socially progressive, then okay, but the description of how people dress is ridiculous and no way applicable here. There is no “uniform” by any means at Grinnell. Plus, hipsters are usually thought of as being pretentious, and that is certainly the opposite of the typical Grinnellian…</p>

<p>I am now considering transferring. JK, but I am not really surprised. About half of the current population are hipsters I feel like or maybe it’s just cause my activities attract hipsters. Nobody I know is surprised about this.</p>
