Best party schools academically???

a trojan is a condom wrote:

Wisconsin [without] a doubt. Consistently a top 10 party school and the academics are top notch. Most Fortune 500 [CEOs] out of any plebby public university in the U.S.

Fixed.

I looked at the World Rankings

http://www.arwu.org/ARWU2010.jsp

for the schools mentioned in this thread.

Nice Rank

---------

Colorado

North Carolina

Arizona State

Duke

Florida

Wisconsin

Texas

Wisconsin

Southern California

Stanford

UCSB

Too Low to be ranked, but listed anyways

----------------------------------------

Georgetown

Vermont

Syracuse

Georgia

Georgia Tech

Dartmouth

Tulane

Villanova

Norte Dame

This is a better list:

Times Higher is a UK company that sells surveys to UK clients.

USNWR sells magazines on newstands in the US and biased towards Ivy.

arwu.org is an international conference of universities.

CU public ivy

Very true. I shudder to think of how many brain cells I destroyed in Boulder. And now I make 6 figures....yes, it depends upon your major and experience.

The University of Western Ontario.

Another vote for Tulane. I almost ended up there and some days I have a lingering wish to have gone there for undergrad. This is a party school on top of a party city.

Also, the academics aren't too shabby either. Really great med schol/public health program.

Emory

Putting schools like Arizona State, Florida, and Colorado with those other schools is an insult to the other schools

Someone listed GT as a party school??? What are you smoking?

Duke - amazing academics, but everybody knows how to have fun

everyone from Duke parties at UNC...

Was only at UNC maybe 5-6 times during my four years at Duke - almost all of those to run at the indoor track. Most Duke students don't party at UNC.

What is that list supposed to be ranking? It looks all screwed up.

IUP!!!!!

I can't believe someone thinks Florida has strong academics. Next he'll be telling us Ohio State is a top academic program. HAHA!

Um, I remember the priests pumping the keg at freshman orientation at Georgetown, so religion isn't the biggest thing going. Excellent academics, good sports, a fine city and a party hard attitude made it a great 4 years for me. Hoya Saxa!

Ya right.... wrote:

90% of those schools are dumb redneck schools

Duke is probably the best choice with the basketball and stuff

Georgetown is to religious

Stanford is to over-achiever like

Agree with the people who say Dartmouth.

Obviously one of the best schools academically in the nation, but because it is so isolated what else can students do other than drink and study?

Both of you are freaking morons. First, it's "you're crazy" as you mean "you are." Secondly, the plural of university (more than one) is "universities". You both obviously went to crappy public schools. And F*** the BrosJo for putting a filter on, thus making me retype my posts.

Yes, I know. I also know the "no one" to whom you refer almost always means some turd who writes like the two previously quoted posters. Poor grammar and spelling indicates a laziness and carlessness that shouldn't be tolerated in any venue. And before you use the "it's only a discussion board, so lighten up" line, keep in mind that if you are careless with the unimportant things, then you are likely to make similarly careless mistakes on those things that are "more important."
