There are certain programs at schools not traditionally considered hotbeds for intellectualism where it’s obvious that students are passionate about their fields of study. My own school, the University of Oklahoma, has one of the most engaged geology programs out there and even a Harvard grad going for her second bachelors in engineering was astounded by how proudly nerdy we are. I’d assume that’s even more true at schools like Colorado School of Mines, Carleton, and a few other places.

If you’re into STEM, Cal Tech is THE school to go to as students live and breathe their subjects. I went to a party hosted by a friend’s house and was astounded by the ingenuity of students. They cooked a life sized gummy bear, build a dance floor that lit up upon detecting movement, and according to my friend spent hours deciding where to place the UV lights.
