Warren Wilson #1
I have known some WW students when I was back in NC; I used to go there to get kind buds and LSD. It did seem kinda crunchy

Antioch would be a good one to put on there. It was located in Yellowsprings OH, but it closed down last spring.
I think there is still a group of ex-Profs, and students that are doing an Antioch in exile thing. I visited a chick down there last year, and that whole town is amazing. Very comfy place.

There are two ways to get to the top of an oak tree: start climbing or sit on an acorn.
Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?

Okay I'm going to assume 'granola' means 'cool' or 'legit' or something along those lines. All this damn lingo confuses a person when they are fucked up.

Where's Northern Arizona University? Flagstaff is filled with Birkenstock-Wearing, Tree-Hugging, Clove-Smoking Vegetarians types. I think I might even be one of them.

Heh, I attended UC Santa Cruz (hippie school) and UC Santa Barbara (highly ranked party school @ the time)... no wonder I never got my degree! 
I always wanted to go to Reed College in Oregon, but the tuition seemed ridiculous - 'specially as I didn't have a solid focus.
Now I'm taking ceramics and guitar at the local community college here. Wouldn't have it any other way!

i'm surprised humbolt state isnt on there. however, i am not surprised at Hampshire. i visited there when i was still considering going to college. they let you create your own major for crissakes, one guy's major was ultimate frisbee, i think.

Why isn't App State up there? Every time I go to Boone I see hundreds of people biking along in tie dye shirts and dreads halfway down their back.
