Univ. of Illinois ranked as #1 party school

[lovespink88]

Duh.


We're also:

#1 in Biological/Agricultural Engineering
#1 in Civil Engineering
#1 in Engineering Science/Physics
#2 in Materials Engineering
#2 in Accounting
#4 in Electrical Engineering
#5 in Computer Engineering
#5 in Environmental Engineering
#6 in Engineering (General)
#6 in Mechanical Engineering
#7 in Aerospace/Aeronautical/Astronautical Engineering
#8 in Insurance
#10 in Real Estate
#11 Top Public School

(Per US News & World Report)

And that's just undergrad, we have many top 10 graduate programs as well.

For perspective, I am actually surprised to hear we were 1. Top ten, sure, no doubt about it, but I always assumed that schools where football is religion would always rank higher. I can't imagine what those tailgates must look like...and that's a whole semesters worth of huge parties!

I know we rank high because of Greek life, our 19+ bar entry age for the 10+ on campus bars and Unofficial...but still, I was actually a little surprised to be #1.

Is there no longer anything on the Urbana side? It's 18+ over there!

I was definitely not into the Urbana scene when I was an undergrad (although since I was back for my brother's graduation in May, I wish I would have given off-campus Urbana a chance!), so I completely forgot about that. The only thing on campus is Canopy Club, and I believe that is still 18+

And there are 23 Nobel Prize winners among the University of Illinois alumni and 20+ Pulitzer Prize winners.

Laughing to myself, as two strictly raised, home schooled men I know are SAEs there!
