USC Ranks As A Top 'Hipster College' in U.S.

Sex at USC.
USC has beaten UCLA in recent academic rankings, and you know the Trojans are a dominant force in football.

But did you know the students on the campus next to Exposition Park were cool kids, too?

A new ranking of "Hipster Colleges" by Unigo says ...


... USC is the fifth-ranked hipster school in the entire nation.

Maybe it's the proximity to the new downtown bar scene, the sex on the rooftop or just the fact that, as private school kids, Trojans can afford all that day-glow American Apparel.

Unigo notes that Silver Lake isn't that far, and says ...

USC wins this one.

... USC is a great school for all those sporty hipsters who want to get involved with skateboarding, ping pong, quidditch, climbing, and surfing.

(Wait, isn't UCLA a little closer to the skateboarding mecca of Venice and the waves of Malibu?).

Anyway, USC was beat out by New York University (number 4), Reed College (3), Oberlin College (2) and Bard College (1).

See the whole list here.

@LAWeekly how are they embodying the modern hippie culture if it costs $50,000 a year and most of them are supported by rich parents?

I think..the word "HIPSTER" is being used to describe only one type of style these days..when anyone in any type of under ground scene is a "Hipster" not part of the mainstream pop culture.

@JustinAbrotsky @laweekly Seriously. "Hipster" means nothing now. Also, that photo? "Hipsters" ride fixies, not big-box beach cruisers.

@audiographer Always thought the modern "hipster" is someone who lived or really wanted to live in Williamsburg circa 2000. Not quite USC.

@AGradualDescent @laweekly Fail. USC is the least hipster place on the planet. Prep central.

@cschweitz @LAWeekly I figured "hipster college" largely of kids ironically wearing Harvard and Cornell shirts.

I think rich people aren't hipsters, just Spoiled Children.
