Left-Wing Artsy schools?

“although I would argue left-wing = mental disorder” – LOL!

OK, brief (I promise) anecdote: When I entered New College in 1969 (yes, I am older than dirt), I was the perfect fit – as hippie as can be. During my college years, though, I experienced a religious conversion (remember the Jesus Freaks?) and eventually found my way back to the Catholic Church. So, then I became kind of conservative (although not as conservative as I later became, around 1980). Soooo…now I was no longer a good fit with New College. But I still enjoyed my time there. I had a great Jewish roommate; our dorm room became the hub for our little social circle, and we had a total blast. (Yes, we studied, too.) I also got to spend a trimester in Italy, which was utterly magical and life-changing.

New College is still pretty hippie, but if I could survive there, anyone can. Especially a hippie! ;-)
