I asked my D, currently on a Beloit summer program whether her school is too ‘hippie’ She said not at all, and though it might have had more hippie tendencies at one time, it is perhaps becoming just a bit more conventional these days. She said there are students of all sorts. Though I’ve observed a great tolerance for diversity, which is part of the Wisconsin tradition. My D might be described as being a bit on the unconventional side, though has found plenty of venues for her wide range of interests. She did reject another school, not in the midwest, as ‘too hippie’ which was rather a surprise. Beloit is a fine and happy place for her.

And yes, the science classes are great. My previously non science oriented girl has found a dedication to science that I never would have thought possible.
