Schools With The Most “Pick Me” Energy

AKA The "We’re Not Like Other Schools” Award:

  1. St. John’s College: Makes everyone learn Ancient Greek and has no majors. Their idea of fun? The “Alternate Euclid Proofs Group”.

  2. Deep Springs College: Just 12-15 students living on a cattle ranch, working 20 hours a week. It’s like a really exclusive farm internship with homework.

  3. College of the Atlantic: Only offers one major (Human Ecology) and has a giant finback whale skull as their main campus landmark.

  4. Reed College: So anti-establishment they refuse to participate in rankings. Plus, they let students play with a nuclear reactor (supervised, hopefully).

  5. Evergreen State College: Their mascot is a geoduck (giant clam) named Speedy. You can’t make this stuff up.

  6. Maharishi University: Everyone meditates twice daily. It’s like yoga retreat meets college.

  7. Minerva University: No campus - just globe-trotting students taking online classes while living in different world cities.

  8. Colorado College: One class at a time, all day, every day, for 3.5 weeks. It’s like academic binge-watching.

  9. University of Austin: Brand new school where students “fearlessly pursue truth.” Started in 2024 because apparently all other universities were doing it wrong.

  10. Warren Wilson College: Students run the entire college, including the farm. It’s basically real-life SimCity.

Do you guys know any other "pick me" schools?
