until i saw this:

jesus christ, those are their DORMS?! :eyespop:
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? |

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 :) |
