Hipster Colleges

College Search & Lists
1

<p>Hello, i am looking for some small colleges in cities.</p>

<p>I have already applied to
Emerson College
Drexel University - Accepted
University of Pittsburgh - Denied
Northeastern University
Roanoke College</p>

<p>I am planning to apply to
Boston University
University of Vermont
Syracuse
College of Charleston
University of Washington - Seattle
Temple University</p>

<p>I have a poor GPA- 2.85, but at a very prestigious private school, therefore it is unweighted.</p>

<p>my board scores are as follows-
SAT
Math: 580
Reading: 620
Writing: 640</p>

<p>ACT
Composite: 27</p>

<p>I am so confused, i feel like none of my colleges suit me or my grades. I knowthey are low, but i am better than them.</p>

<p>maybe you could possibly give Bard a shot, it’s not in a city, and your GPA may be a bit too low for them but check them out anyway</p>

<p>also look into Goucher College it’s in a suburban area of Baltimore</p>

<p>Well, I’m going to sound like a broken record, but—try UNC Asheville. It’s in a fantastic city (Asheville, NC) and pretty hipster, from what I’ve heard. Your SATs would be fine. (They are NOT that bad–all above average!)</p>

<p>Have you tried CC’s search engine? It’s amazing and - if you’re willing to broaden your search geographically to include the Midwest - I am confident it will provide you with many more options to consider.</p>

<p>Take a look at Clark University (MA). Good Luck!</p>

<p>I live near UVM - it’s a great town and the school is the best in vermont (that’s not saying a <em>whole</em> lot, but it’s saying something). You’ll get a pretty darn good education and there’s PLENTY of hipsters around, as well as concerts with ‘hipster bands’, etc.
My friend goes to Bard. It’s a lovely school and not <em>too</em> far away from the city. And, from what my friend says, very hipster.</p>

<p>Asheville is another great options (another friend of mine lives there. He keeps on telling me its one of the most young, fun, cities in the country, but I haven’t gotten around to visiting yet). At any rate, also very hipster.</p>

<p>I’m not so sure Syracuse is ‘hipster’. While there are certainly plenty of hipsters, it’s not the majority (in my experience. Then again, I don’t define ‘hipster’ by someone who is just distantly vaguely interested in the arts. Most people at syracuse are at least at that level). </p>

<p>Sarah Lawrence is very hipster, but very overpriced for the education you’re getting. Remember, hipsters you can find anywhere: a phenomenal education at a fair price, you can’t. It’s just my personal opinion, but I would only consider applying if money is absolutely no object. It’s just not worth it, but hey, it’s obviously worth it to some people.</p>

<p>There are a few other colleges around the country, such as University of Texas - Austin, MSU-Bozeman, Wesleyan, Oberlin, RISD, and basically all of Portland, OR, but I don’t know how far you’re willing to branch out.
Just another reminder: All of this is based off of my personal experiences and research, and the experiences of others I know who go to these schools. I’m sure there’s plenty of people who disagree with me, or agree with me for different reasons. Still, I hope this helps a bit!</p>

<p>The best thing for you to do here is to really shine in your essay. I feel like that would be fairly easy for you, as most “hipsters” claim to be in touch with the humanities and have an air about their creativity.</p>

<p>None the less, most of those schools are high matches or reaches, but you surely have a chance. Try Vassar College or honestly, anywhere in the northeast. Hipsters dont just congregate around cities, they like their own secluded bubble colleges where they can feel unique. But frankly, any school you choose to go to will most likely have somewhat of a hipster population, you just have to find them.</p>

<p>If you’re a ‘hipster’, you’ll hate College of Charleston.</p>
