on Under-grad schools.

Which is what this thread and most of GC is all about.

And just in from FOX News:

"It contrasts with U.S. News and World Report's annual guide to "America's Best Colleges," where UT-Austin tied with four other schools in 47th place."
"Despite those efforts, a freshman died of acute alcohol poisoning in December as a result of fraternity hazing.
Tests showed Phanta "Jack" Phoummarath's blood alcohol level was 0.50 percent, more than six times the legal limit. University officials canceled Lambda Phi Epsilon's status as a registered student organization until 2011 after an investigation found new members were expected to drink large amounts of liquor."

But Brother, you at least represent yourself.

What are you trying to prove? I really don't understand you. Are you trying to discredit the rankings of the university because a kid died?

Texas is a Top 50 National University. It has been for quite a while. Grad School....I would say Top 20.

Again, what is your point with all of these Princeton Review party, drug, alcohol statistics.

Frankly, I think US News is a much more reliable source....but whatever floats your boat.
