<p>Bern, when I went to Penn I got the feeling that a lot of kids there were bitter because they had to settle for a lower Ivy.</p>
<p>I also don’t think that students who could get into Georgetown would have a lot of difficulty getting into Penn; they are very similar.</p>
<p>California Maritime Academy comes to mind as being unique.</p>
<p>Pensacola Christian College is VERY unique.</p>
<p>There are some really unique ones you guys are leaving out. Like St. Johns of NM and MD (no professors, just moderators, every class is 100% discussion between students, no grades, no exams, only major is Liberal Arts). Also, University of Montana: Missoula is a granola town with some awesome hippy-earthy people, its dead in between Glacier and Yosemite National parks, its an unbelievably beautiful area. Evergreen State University in Washington is pretty unique as well.</p>
<p>Antioch is unique in a very 60s way.</p>

<li>Ellen</li>
</ul>
<p>I think being envious that you got rejected from an Ivy and had to ‘settle’ for a lesser school is just shallow and ridiculous.</p>
<p>If they had done their research and thoughfully contemplated the situation, they would realize that they could easily love any number of other schools without being so narrow minded.</p>
<p>Warren Wilson is unique</p>
<p>Kalamazoo is pretty unique – so are: Berea College in Kentucky, Antioch in Ohio, Hampshire in Mass.</p>
