When I was applying to colleges I had to hear ad infinitem about how my dad was thisclose to attending Antioch. Then mom would chime in that grandpa threw a gigantic fit and made dad attend H (where he met mom.) The lesson? Follow the money, because none of grandpa's was going to Antioch.

Yellow Springs is definitely a quirky town. You have the hippie culture associated with Antioch and all the little coffee shops juxtaposed with Young's Dairy and its family atmosphere. Then you have cops quick to pull any speeders over (goes from 35 to 55 in one spot which is a cop favorite) while the marijuana culture lives strong.

I agree with the previous post. Antioch doesn't have the best reputation around culturally and socially conservative Ohioans. I know people who have gone there in the past, but not many, and I came from that area.

I don't really understand the animosity in this thread either. I'm very sad to see Antioch close, and I think it's rather wonderful and dedicated of the professors to carry on teaching.
