    Oberlin and Antioch are both in Ohio. I'm considering them both as possible schools, if I decide to take that route!

    Except Texas A&M. They're pretty hardcore nazis.

    I just got accepted to Portland State University, and from what I can tell it's not a bad place for hippies to go. At least I really hope I don't get there and find out it is.

    One that screams hippie at me and I'd love to go to if I could afford it is Northland College in northern Wisconsin. I've been looking at their website for years, drooling over it.

    I don't know if Antioch (Ohio) is necessarily Hippy - but it is definitely Radical Leftist, with a heavy feminist bend. They call it 'The Bootcamp for the Revolution' - [My ex GF went here]

    On the West Coast, I did 1 year at Cal (Berkeley), it is way more professionally oriented now than anything near Hippy.

    HSU (Humboldt State) is where I graduated from. This is a full on Hippy Haven as far as schools go - and the town is a nice Hippy / Libertarian zone. HSU would get my vote for the most steadfastly Hippy school.

    Santa Cruz (UCSC) is still a Hippy Haven but is more and more influenced by the Southern California Transplants. More make-up and less dreads these days. The town of Santa Cruz also is moving more and more from a sleepy hippy town to a standard beachside metro. But there is still a good counter culture there. (I was born & raised in SC)

    The Evergreen State College voted the number 1 school in the nation by High Times magazine when I went there, and the legalization of marijauna in Washington state probably hasn't hurt

    The University of Western Connecticut has a killer jazz program

    They're the ones the movement started from - I don't know if I would call them hippies, but they're definitely hip people to say the least. Jazz musicians are generally hip or downright weird - and more often than not both

    So I guess you have the smarts and money to go to any of these places, and you're just trying to find out which one is the "hippist"? That's your prime criterion for a college education? Rich daddy? Trust fund? What exactly do you mean by "hippie"? Herb/drug friendly? Environment conscious? Politically progressive? Laid back curriculum? Shaggy professors and students? Artsy? BTW, yes, Brandeis is Jewish and you wouldn't like it, because it's square as all get out. Great school though. The "notoriously hippie" Naropa U. (posst#7) is specifically Buddhist.

    Look no further than Burlington Vt. as someone else said. I can attest to that.
