Bennington College: Creative, Self-Directed, Intellectually Serious Alternative
I recently spent a gorgeous spring afternoon on the campus of Bennington College in southern Vermont. The campus is a lovely mixture of colonial architecture and internationalist modern styles, and 650 students are proud to be known as a relatively off-beat, alternative, and artistic bunch. Like Marlboro, Bennington does not offer traditional majors, but requires students to develop their own plan of study that is closely supervised by the faculty.
This video offers a brief summary of my visit to Bennington.
