<p>Im looking for collages with a large hippy type population. I was looking at Evergreen in wa. But was looking some others that are somewhat similar. Id like to major in sustainable agriculture or soil sciences or other related fields (etc. not set in stone by all means).
I tend to hand with the heads if you catch my drift, so a laid back atmosphere is preferred </p>
<p>Dude, like, Oregon State, Humboldt State, New Mexico State. Not a lot of colleges have “agriculture” per se…they’d all have botany via the bio dept, but if you’re lookin’ for straight-up agriculture schools, they usually have the word “state” in their name.</p>
<p>Colorado State University in Fort Collins – hippies galore and a good college of agriculture. I’m betting it’s a perfect fit. If you want a school with a relaxed atmosphere and some of the best agriculture programs in the country (but very few hippies), I would also strongly recommend Kansas State University – after Cornell CALS, probably the second best college of agriculture in the U.S.</p>
<p>Although Cornell does not have many hippies, it is a very liberal school where tree huggers are more than welcome. I second Cornell and UC-Davis. I would add Wisconsin-Madison to the list.</p>
<p>^Actually, I think that you could add most land grant universities to the list. Some other good “ag schools” that I can think of would include Texas A&M, Iowa State, the University of Illinois-Urbana/Champaign and the University of Minnesota. There are lots of others.</p>
<p>Oh wait! I complete forgot about the commons. Yes we actually do have a sizable hippy population. Five minutes in downtown Ithaca and you will see enough hippies, bums, and derelicts to make you a raging conservative.</p>
