Clearly, they have only "graded" the schools that they publish "guides" for. Hard to take that kind of thing seriously.

I'm surprised that the University of Central Florida and the University of South Florida weren't mentioned. Those schools are really big.

Marquette got a D in diversity - and granted there isn't too much on the campus, but hello! Look at where it is located...in a very diverse area.

Platteville wasn't listed, not at all shocked by that. :p

Oklahoma got a D in parking! Wow I'm not shocked at all!!!

As far as the Greek program getting a B+, I figured it would be higher than that.

ASU might not be on there, but U of A is. We got:

A+ for girls (the comments at the bottom had someone saying there are a bunch of "blonde hair, blue eyed, tan girls" here. "Very Baywatch." Great :rolleyes: )
A- for guys (pretty accurate I'd say)
B+ for Greek Life
D for parking (should be WAY lower)
B for academics (possibly because of our B+ rank for Drug scene?)
C+ for diversity (which I don't understand at all, they've obviously never set foot on campus)

I'd really like to see their criteria for these rankings. I would think that the girls/guys/weather/atmosphere rankings are pretty subjective.

This is a pretty site. I like.

Um, I think we all understand that. Looking at this stuff is just entertaining. For example, I would never have given my school an A for athletics and an A- for athletics, let alone a B in Greek Life.

haha My school wasnt mentioned lol figures its not that big YET but we keep getting bigger and bigger every year. its getting harder and harder to get in too!


Nichole

i dunno how you can have a hottest girls poll and put USD on it and not san diego state...thats BS in my opinion

EXACTLY!

In ( ) is what I think we should have gotten.

Academics B+ (A-)
Greek Life B+
Athletics A+
Guys B+
Campus Dining B+
Local Atmosphere B- (B)
Campus Housing C+ (B)
Nightlife B
Campus Strictness A-
Off-Campus Dining B (A)
Computers A
Off-Campus Housing D (F)
Diversity B+
Parking D+ (F...football saturdays are a mess)
Drug Scene C+ (I dont do them, but even I have to day about a B)
Safety and Security C+ (B)
Facilities A (B-... 2 words, Dennison Bldg.)
Transportation B-
Girls A-
Weather D+ (B-/C+...maybe its because I'm from upstate NY and its wayy colder here, and I liked the weather in MI)

AZPinkkittie, I'm gonna have to differ with you here. I think the rankings were pretty fair. I mean damn it we should get an A+ in girls. Seriously, I know so many women who kill themselves to look perfect year round and they do! And a D for parking, ABSOLUTELY! Though with all the new parking garages it's getting better. Oh and the drug scene actually got a B-, not +.
And we got an A+ for athletics. All due to our basketball team (GO CATS!) of course since our football team couldn't beat a Pee Wee Football team. And I just wanted to take the oppertunty to say take that SCUM Devils you aren't even listed! (jk, of course :D )

Here's how we (Purdue) ranked... ( ) is what I think we should've gotten, if I disagree at all...but most of the rankings are right on.
Academics B+ (eh, could be higher or lower, depends on program)
Greek Life A-
Athletics A
Guys A
Girls B (Come on now! But to be fair, with a heavily Ag/Sci school, I guess I'd expect to see this ranking...from a guy)
Campus Dining B
Local Atmosphere C+ (true. not much else in town but the school)
Campus Housing B+
Nightlife B+
Campus Strictness B- (if you were a liberal arts major you might rank it lower than this...the school definitely tries to screw those kind of majors a lot, unfortunately)
Off-Campus Dining B-
Computers B+
Off-Campus Housing A
Diversity C- (B, not really sure where this is coming from, but then again this is Indiana)
Parking B (whatEV! D, definitely)
Drug Scene B+ (um...not my thing, so ooooook then...)
Safety and Security A
Facilities A
Transportation A-
Weather C (D! The weather blows for most of the year, let's just be honest here)

Interesting site. LOL I like the guy's quote at the end: "West Lafayette is basically just Purdue, so the population is mostly us college kids. You don’t really have to worry about offending older people with music or college stuff because you rarely see people above the age of 23."

I agree.
I noticed that the moment I stepped onto
the campus. There are beautiful people
everywhere. I suppose it's befitting since
it's such a beautiful campus.:)
