Bigger bohemian schools

Among colleges that still have transfer openings and financial aid for fall, Knox College stands out to me as a likely fit. Not as much of the hippie-boho, but definitely a place for quirky intellectualism. If you want to hedge your bet on Bard, it’s worth a look. Shimer is also a possible fit.

And in general, the bigger the school, the more I would focus on intellectualism vs hippie-boho culture. At most sufficiently large schools you will find enough of those kids to have a peer group, even if they are not the dominant culture on campus. It is harder to find the intellectual challenge you are seeking this late in the game, which is why I recommended SMU in the other thread. Focus your search on schools that have openings AND have a higher median SAT/ACT (you can get that info from ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■) and you should be able to turn up some additional options for yourself.
