Waukegan, Illinois

Has a “hippie college” in the least likely of places – Shimer College is one of THE most liberal of colleges and no one in the world seems to know about it. There are no lecture classes, we discuss books (actual sorces, no textbooks that have been biased by someone elses’ ideas) in groups of 12 or less. People here are allowed to live as they please and most importantly to think as they please. The education is as liberating as the lifestyle. The most kickass thing about Shimer is that its not just hippies, all kinds of wierd people hang out here and are accepting of each other. Its a hippie commune like you’ve never seen, I promise.
