sounds like a cool place, actually. more like a conservatory than a college.

Yeah I'd agree with you there. Seems like they're really focusing on education, rankings be damned. It's a bit of a rebellion against the current educative norm isn't it? I'd be really interested in talking to a graduate or a teacher at Shimer to better understand what they're doing / trying to do.

There are other great books schools that aren't on the list. St. John's College does really well in the college rankings. Of course college rankings are bunk, but if this school has a problem, listening to Mortimer Adler is probably not it.
