New College of Florida Reviews
2014 New College was akin to Willy Wonka's chocolate factory: drug addled savants in STEM fields mingled with writers, artists, and historians. Punk wall, wisest wizard wall, underwear wall, kiss your crush wall, fetish bowl, Rocky Horror, Great Gatsby, Easter Keg Hunt, Disorientation. I know I'm romanticizing.
For all our racial equality rhetoric NCF was as diverse as Sweden. Unwoke students (usually CIS white males) were one gaffe away from being ostracized. And after the drug deaths everything changed. Students retreated to their rooms. Parties were policed. Streakers kept their clothes on. Four Winds closed down. The pressure to sanitize the school won out. Enrollment plummeted despite shiny new buildings.
For a brief time, though, the 70's lived on. Ask a jaded 4th year.
