  • Paradise for Misfits
    6 paradise for misfits College towns, like the schools located in them, are tran-­ sient places. Young people come to them to pursue an education and leave once they earn their degrees. For most of the history of American higher education, this model held true for nearly all young people who attended college at residential universities. They went away to college naïve and irre-­ sponsible, and graduated four years later more mature and self-­confident. They moved to cities and suburbs, began careers, got married, and started families. If they ever returned to the college town of their youth, it was to attend football games or alumni gatherings, and remember their college years. You were not supposed to stay in a college town after you graduated. The dynamics of college town life began to change in the 1960s. Col-­ lege enrollments grew rapidly as the children of the baby boom reached college age. Colleges and universities were forced to expand their faculties, and many of the new professors were more liberal than their predeces-­ sors, having earned their degrees in an era of war protests and civil rights marches. They influenced their students. College students, meanwhile, looked around them and saw a world in the throes of convulsive change. Heroes were gunned down. Politicians were proven corrupt. Large corpo-­ rations began to shape life in profound ways. To some young people, the American dream began to look like a nightmare. They started to question the conventional path of career, marriage, and family. Some quit school. Others saw in college towns an opportunity to create alternative ways of life outside the American mainstream.
