How Does Your School Rank in the Princeton Review?
 

So the Princeton Review is out, as we all know, and while it's fun to look at the top 20 lists, it's more fun to look up my alma mater and see which lists it made.

Go here and look up your particular college or university. Which lists did it make?

Hillsdale is pretty boring:
#19 Professors Get High Marks
#19 Homogeneous Student Population
#7 Students Pray On A Regular Basis
#19 Don't Inhale
#1 Students Most Nostalgic For Reagan
#4 Future Rotarians And Daughters Of The American Revolution

HAHA now y'all can see why I love my Iowa so much:

#8 Lots Of Beer
#7 Lots Of Hard Liquor
#8 Party Schools

Indiana University - Bloomington:

#9 Best College Newspaper
#1 Lots Of Beer
#15 Lots Of Hard Liquor
#6 Party Schools

However, IU is also a Best Midwestern College.


:D

Marquette is on Best 361 Colleges, Best Midwestern Colleges, and Colleges with a Conscience. I'm glad to see we made it off of the "students never stop studying" list and hope I had something to do with that. ;)

Ok, SDSU isn't on there, but USD and UCSD are?

Sorry, I know we're a shitty state school, but we've got to be in at least the top 361.......

Mine's is just listed as a best Western University to attend.

Auburn

#14 Best College Library
#10 Their Students (Almost) Never Study
#19 Students Pray On A Regular Basis
#11 Students Pack The Stadiums
#16 Students Most Nostalgic For Reagan
#17 Jock Schools
#9 Town-Gown Relations Are Great

Best Southeastern Colleges

University of Wisconsin

#1 Party Schools
#3 Lots of Beer
#3 Lots of Hard Liquor
#7 Reefer Madness
. . . and finally, one serious category
#20 Best College Newspapers

It's also a Best Midwestern University and a College with a Conscience, whatever that entails.

I think it means that you guys are full of hippies. Not so sure how we got on it. ;)

If Hillsdale is boring, then Emory is far worse:

#18 Best College Library

*yawn*

It is one of the 140 Best Southeastern Colleges, though that is a very long list.

Florida Institute of Technology is one of the Best Southeastern Colleges. That's all.

#19 Long Lines And Red Tape Academics ---closer to target :(


#2 Best College Newspaper Extracurriculars--definitely #1!!! :)


#14 Best College Radio Station Extracurriculars -- #14...QUESTIONABLE...we have 2 radio stations...one commercial and one student run...HU has broken many hot acts!


#10 Got Milk? Parties -- beer is not and has never been the drink of choice ...


#16 Town-Gown Relations Are Strained Social -- probably closer to mark.


* I am willing to debate some of these numbers do NOT reflect the sentiments of Howard University students or the community surrounding.

The University of Akron- a state school in Ohio- did not make any of the lists either!!!! But I would not expect us too!! We can make our own list-- "The schools that did not make the list" list!! hahaha

The University of Georgia
 

#20 - Best Campus Food

#18 - Their Students (Almost) Never Study

#12 - Party School

#11 - Jock School

#8 - Lots of Hard Liquor

#6 - Students Pack the Stadiums

#6 - Best College Newspaper

Best Southeastern Colleges

kind of sad, we always been in the young teens for best radio station, but we are not off the list... and I thought me being a DJ would boost it, lol


all we got is

#20- Best Finicial Aide Satisfaction Rating
Best Midwestern College
Colleges with a conscience

(but the school is uber small)

University of Rhode Island

#15 Professors Get Low Marks
#10 Professors Make Themselves Scarce
#11 Their Students (Almost) Never Study

Boy am I proud. Not surprised in the least though.

My alma mater: Valparaiso University (Valparaiso, IN)

#12 Alternative Lifestyles Not An Alternative (I had to look up what this one meant :o - Is there very little discrimination against homosexuals?)
#17 Students Pray On A Regular Basis

**Also a Best Midwestern school**

Grad school: Azusa Pacific University (Azusa, CA) - not ranked :(

Washington University in St. Louis (Missouri...duh!)


#16 School Runs Like Butter
#11 The Toughest To Get Into
#8 Best Campus Food
#6 Best Quality Of Life
#13 Dorms Like Palaces

ETA: We're also on the "Best of the Midwestern Colleges" list


Not too shabby...although I remember when we were top-ranked for food. I was always grossed out when I went to visit friends at public universities because their food was NASTY compared to ours!

University of Houston

We don't...

Elon University--

#7 School Runs Like Butter
#13 Students Dissatisfied by Financial Aid (yeah, student loans BLOW)
#5 Major Frat & Sorority Scene
Best Southeastern Colleges
College With a Conscience

We had #2 most beautiful campus and a high ranking for great profs last year, but we didn't even make the list this year :(

University of Central Florida:

#16 Their Students (Almost) Never Study

It is one of the Best Southeastern Colleges.

No 'fun' list for Western Michigan. It did make the Best in the Mid-west list, though...

LOL I know this is a little off-topic, but this is what some anonymous people said about our student body:

UNCG is a big school with "many people from all walks of life, social/cultural backgrounds, etc. The university promotes cultural diversity and acceptance and tolerance of people of different backgrounds." One student reports, "One minute you see a bunch of music majors talking about how much Bach has affected their life and the next minute, you see a bunch of sorority girls discussing the Gap. Mainly, I have observed that sorority girls stick together, jocks stick together, etc." Two in three students are female, and there is a widespread perception that "many of the males are either married or gay. The straight young chill male is a minority here." As at many state schools, "about half of the students at UNCG came here to party. The other half consists of hard working students who are generally frustrated with the slacker mentality in a lot of our classes. This is less of a problem once you get past the intro-level lectures."

To me, this does not seem like a well thought-out response and certainly not worthy of being on the Princeton Review site... but oh well. I've got to go talk about the Gap now and look for that elusive straight young CHILL male.

"The Elon 'bubble' is a bit like Beverly Hills: 90210, only in North Carolina," jokes one student. "It's not uncommon to see kids driving around in BMWs and Lexuses" or donning wardrobes that leave some feeling that they are "living in an Abercrombie and Fitch" catalog. While "diversity may be lacking," there's a "feeling of camaraderie" at Elon that everyone notices "when they visit for the first time." "I guess it's just that good southern hospitality kicking in!" exclaims an undergrad. Much of Elon's student body hails from mid-atlantic and southern states, though some come from "as far away as Japan and Yugoslavia." Students describe their peers in a variety of ways, ranging from "very religious" to "liberally biased." "Most are also smart and come from good families," according to one student, while another adds, "courteous, intelligent, caring, and generous" to the list of appropriate adjectives describing his classmates. And, without question, the student population is "very Greek oriented."


Every time I read this I crack up :) I <3 my school

#19 Best College Library Academics

#10 Best College Newspaper Extracurriculars: Our paper is not worthy to be toliet paper. Biased and not worth reading. The crossword is about the only thing good on it.

#16 Lots Of Beer Parties: See Party school

#19 Lots Of Hard Liquor Parties: See Party School

#14 Party Schools Parties: I find this sort of hard to believe. We were rated #5 in Playboy in 2002, and #1 in Stuff this past month...

#19 Reefer Madness Parties. Yeah, how about a cocaine ranking.

I was pretty surprised by our rankins, too. I thought we might be ranked way higher for party schools, considering we were ranked #4 by Princeton Review last year.

I agree about the DA.. some of it is interesting, but the Opinion page is 100% liberal opinions. It was horrible around election time last year.

MIT: #1 toughest to get into.

Also: Best in the Northeast, Diverse Student Population, Their Students Never Stop Studying. I can believe this last one: During my admissions interview, I was told: "Classes, sleep, friends... pick any two." I picked classes, friends, and lots of coffee ;)

Not that I expected much... BUT San Francisco State University is a "school with a conscience" Who knew ??

University of Missouri isn't even ON there, how pathetic....

Yet UMR is on there, stupid.

GEORGETOWN!

GO HOYAS!

#15 The Toughest To Get Into
#20 Most Politically Active
#14 Great College Town

Also one of the best Northeastern Colleges and a College with a Conscience.

Ohio University:

#2 Party School
#14 Lots of Beer
#16 Lots of Hard Liquor
#2 Almost Never Study

I'm so proud.
