Green Mountain College, 150 years old - closed.
Burlington College
Dowling College
The Boston Conservatory (students merged into Berklee Music)
Wheellock College (students merged to BU)
Numerous small "Catholic" (because really flaming Liberal) Schools
Mount Ida College (campus taken over by UMass Amherst, Boston Mayor Menino's Alma Matter)
Newbury College (From 5000+ students in the 90s to less than a few hundred today; Tuition = $33k + Room and Board = $15k)

@Rin for all the Mass Schools

And many, many others at risk, such as Hampshire College (in Amherst,MA).

This is the tip of the iceberg; many of these institutions had very few rich alumni or larger institutional support, and were very dependent on rich idiots to stupid to even get into Oberlin paying full tuition.

Well, pretty much everything else they touch. Islam was right about women.

Here's a bit about Hampshire College. No majors, no grades. Just watch the freakin' thing. It starts with a master's thesis about Breathing... by a guy wearing a shirt about smashing the Patriarchy who looks like he's a stoner who plays too much hackeysack. He's devised a dance called "Macho Milling", and has the energy level of JEB! on downers.

Facing a massive financial crisis, with the new President trying to find funding sources and allies - only to be protested by the Organic Farming Anti-Patriarchy Student Base. She only lasted 8 months. Then the graduation ceremony where nobody has a naturally occurring hair color.

The college has only one famous alumni, Ken Burns.

College of Free Shit and Anarchy need students at 60K per year What could possibly go wrong?

They provide no fucking value. Jordan Peterson said it well when he said that costs are up and quality is down. Social sciences are pure liberal indoctrination.

There aren't enough rich dumb kids to go with parents money to get stupid degrees in gender studies.

Perhaps not a coincidence that the next Vice video recommended in the (my?) feed is an interview with Bret Weinstein who was formerly employed by the Hampshire of the West. An acquaintance's daughter who was paired with a trans-women in her dorm room at a famously liberal institution (whose administration said there's nothing we can do about it) is now back home and attending a local state school.

I was under the impression that it was a simple community college, like a Bunker Hill, and could afford to pay its way but I guessed wrong.

Newbury College


Complete joke, didn't know how much it costed.

Bahahaha! Talk about a loser hippie park with some sort of Seven Sister (see Smith/Mt Holyoke) or Small Elite (see Amherst/Williams) College delusion that by smoking dope and navel gazing, that a bachelor's degree can be conferred. Too bad Al Gore Jr didn't attend this place because it may have given him the fake grades (letters which say that his work is a 4.0) to get into Harvard Law and then, he can get flunked out by Prof Kingsfield (see John Houseman in 'Paper Chase').

So now a college girl who does not want a male roommate is now a bigot, just because that male calls himself female?

The real craziness is that this progressive college, of course, has a gender inclusive housing option which you have to specifically request so this type of thing won't happen. Of course the trans-woman (who I presume believed in the gender binary) wanted no part the gender inclusive option and instead selected the singe gender, female option. From what I can tell, the non-binary and trans camps are now at war with each other (see Contrapoints gets cancelled).

How many Rep/Cons can't pay cash for their education at Right wing nut institutions?


I don't think we are all under impression that we all must go to a university. Fuck those places. One can learn more by just borrowing books from the library, buying them on amazon, or reading online. Education is just that, hand holding to read a book one can buy themselves perfectly easily. Access to information is not limited anymore. Universities are a dinosaur model that is dying and should die, they aren't solving a problem, and are not good at what they do.

I went to community college for $12/unit, transferred to university later to save money, while working full time. I'm not using anything I learned at school, realized that that information was nice, but completely useless.

If you need a loan for school, you are most likely making wrong choices in your life. And that's that.
