Most Unique and Unconventional Colleges?

[marvin100]

1. has a curriculum with classes that you wouldn’t usually see at other colleges (classes where the name would catch your eye in a list and surprise you but also make you want to take that class)
2. an environment and community that encourages students to always try new things and respectively challenge ideas (sounds like every college’s mission statement, but I’m looking for people who’ve been to this kind of college and can proudly say that this is what their college did)
3. policies for students and staff that bring everybody together, rather than creating separation (a college that allows the students and administration to work together in a good relationship)
4. a college that knows the value of hard work, but never ever forgets a sense of humor or personality (again, vague, but if anybody has felt that their college exemplified this, please recommend a name)

I went to Williams, and while it’s no Deep Springs, Evergreen, Hampshire, or Bennington, it fulfilled all of those requirements for me (and then some!).

1. Oxford-style tutorials. Amazing.
2. Yup.
3. I felt like it, yeah. Not like Hampshire, where students are involved in virtually every decision at every time, but a good spirit of cooperation, imo.
4. Definitely.
