i never wanted to be a rich East-coast college kid...

until i saw this:

http://www.bennington.edu/campus_living.asp

jesus christ, those are their DORMS?!

it's pretty neat, actually... it's kind of a "choose your own curriculum" Bachelor of Arts school, where you basically are in charge of what classes you want to take instead of following a strict course outline for your major. they've got some really interesting sounding classes too, everything from Music to Visual Arts to Social Sciences to Drama to Literature and so on.

also, Bennington College is where Bret Easton Ellis went to school, and i was clicking around the site and you can totally see the similarities between that campus and the fictional Camden College campus from Rules of Attraction. they even call the common lawn "End of the World" - ok, just a random note that no one will find interesting unless they're a crazed Bret Easton Ellis fan like me.

but seriously, did anyone go to a school like that? or know anyone who did?

As you well know from dinner table discussions with my sister, I'm no fan of schools like these.

44k a year for tutition and living. Dammmmmmmmmmmn

Cost

it's like the artsy/creative version of RPI, and located only about 45 minutes away.

Goddamn, if there was ever one snooty thing I always wanted to be a part of, it was elite schools.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it's a fine school (much like RPI or St. Norberts), with solid academic credentials.

Just not my idea of what I'd like my University experience to be like.



At least it doesn't appear to have a "typical" curriculum - that's neat

wth???


i thought it was going to be like amherst college but that is on a whole OTHER level!

i bet their food is good...

^^Would not approve.

Exactly. Somebody get this kid a pint and a joint on me!

That guy is my role model for life.

Living in debt the rest of your life b/c you majored in fine arts: PRICELESS

that's why i referenced being a rich East-coast college kid in the thread title. obviously most of the kids who go to schools like this come from very wealthy families and don't have any debt once they're done.

...and probably didnt even need to go to college anyway since the can fly right into a high level position at their parents company.

but they all hate their parents and want to leave home and experiment with drugs and promiscuous sex. college is a good excuse for that.

And I was complaining about 7800 a quarter for BS in Software Engineering.

I should be getting spoiled like that for these prices.

price isnt too bad considering places like stanford are between 40-45k, maybe even more.

what a rip off... Considering Yale is "only" $42K (plus room and board). Looks like a school "For Metros by Metros" (aka fudge packing factory)


not that there's anything wrong with it

fuck that.

state schools ftw!!!

rules of attraction? damn that movie sucked.

and for the rest, all i can say is...

'damn it feels good to be a gangsta'

School's like this really help middle eastern colleges become accredited in the US.

However, I always wanted to splash paint all over my naked self, roll around on the floor and get an A.
