Last week we learned what hipster kids eat. This week, we find out where they go to college after they're all grown up.

If you're too cool for school (but still need to go to school), College Magazine has complied a list of campuses that are rampant with flannel and PBR -- not that you care. 

It's no secret that NYC is home to the highest contingent of hipsters -- plenty of vintage shops and mandolins to go around in that city -- so we're not surprised to see several NYC schools make the list. We've got to ask though -- where is Pratt? That campus is filled with artsy iron-welding vegans wearing horn-rimmed glasses!

You tell us if you think the list is accurate -- or don't. Whatever. We're over it.

1. New York University, NYC.

2. Fashion Institute of Technology, NYC.

3.
Emerson, Boston.

4. The Rhode Island School of Design, Providence.

5. Parsons The New School for Design, NYC.

6.
University of California, Los Angeles.

7. University of California, Berkeley.

8.
Yale, New Haven, CT.

9.
Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA.

10. Georgetown University, Washington, D.C.
