Colleges and Universities A-Z Pitzer College

<p>D2, a HS junior, fell in love with Pitzer when we visited 3 years ago with D1 and it is still her dream school. Although her stats are good and I think she has a good chance, I don't want her to put all her eggs in one basket. </p>

<p>She loves the emphasis on community service, student activism, the liberal "hippie" vibe, and the weather. To me that translates into a warm weather LAC. I know a lot about LACs in the midwest and northeast, but not so much in the south/west.</p>

<p>We are going to visit New College of Florida later this month. We'll get back out to Pitzer, probably in the fall and plan to visit Occidental on the same trip. Other suggestions? TIA</p>

<p>My opinions for the leading liberal/hippie vibe colleges on the west coast: Evergreen State, Reed, and Pitzer.</p>

<p>I’d also recommend Lewis and Clark College in Portland, OR. Whitman College in Walla Walla, WA.</p>

<p>University of Redlands might be a contender as well, especially if considering their Johnston Center for Integrative Studies.</p>
