I went there for a year. I couldn't handle the weather (all overcast, all the time) but the school is great - provided that hippies don't give you hives (as they do me). The courses are taught by teams of instructors and are very, very good. You get written evaluations instead of grades and the emphasis is on learning, not performing well on tests. Anyway, they also have amazing amounts of fun stuff (ie computers, equipment, etc) available to all students. You can also design your own classes and if you can find a teacher who will sponsor you (not as hard as it sounds) you can get credit for doing absolutely anything (or nothing, even). --sharon solenoid wrote: > If you don't mind hippies, you might check out Evergreen State in Olympia > Washington (state).
