#10 Their Students (Almost) Never Study
#4 Lots of Beer
#7 Lots of Hard Liquor
#6 Party Schools

Ohio University-Athens Appears on These Lists.

I'm so proud of my Alma Mater.

Last year we were number 2 on the Party Schools list.

Is that good or bad?

Of course, as I point out every year, there's very little scientific about this survey. It's a joke.

Now, being number 7 (I think) on the Playboy Party School list...

Thank you for correcting my rather poor postin. I had forgotten that I had registered for sign.

Which is free and you can control if you get anything sent to you.

Several different lists posted-all rather interesting to read.

This thread is not going where I thought it would ( In truth, I do not believe I had a direction).

But I love where it is going.......

#11 Best College radio station ( We had two Brothers DJ's and almost caused station to lose FCC licence due to repeated requests and playing of Rolling Stone's ".... Star")
One of the 123 best western colleges.

No question. There is actually some method to their decisions, and some logic to their categories.

The Princeton Review is cute for causing discussion in/between the named schools, and probably not much else.

[AlphaFrog]

WIU

Best in Midwest
Best Value College

[Scandia]

University of Florida:

Rank List Category
#6 Teaching Assistants Teach Too Many Upper-Level Courses - guidance counselor in HS did not want me to go to UF strictly because of this. I did not have any issues with this matter.

#17 Their Students (Almost) Never Study - I disagree. Tough school.

#17 Everyone Plays Intramural Sports- even I did. I was in the basketball team of Newman Club in my freshman year.

#3 Students Pack the Stadiums- true

#9 Lots of Beer- but you don't have to drink it.

#16 Lots of Hard Liquor- ditto

#11 Party Schools- but you don't have to go.

#7 Dorms Like Dungeons- I lived at home so N/A.

#1 Jock Schools- ???


University of South Florida

#18 Diverse Student Population- though I do wish we could have gotten more Spanish speaking and/or children's librarians.

Also in the list of "Best Southeastern Colleges" and "America's Best Value College".

SDSU isn't on there at all.

Although we did have the #2 spot and cover girl on the latest Playboy Party Schools list.. wooo.

#12 Is it food?

#20 Students Dissatisfied with Financial Aid
#15 Alternative Lifestyles Not an Alternative
