<p>Can I ask what Notre Dame scored in the quality of life section? Very curious.</p>
<p>Agree with Erin’s Dad on Texas A & M being left off. It is so similar to VT in terms of selectivity and school spirit/supposed happiness of students. (not that this is totally related to that last fact, but I just received some ring paperwork this past week stating that Texas A & M and VT have the continual top two spots for university class ring sales in the country).</p>
<p>I’m surprised that Clemson isn’t on the list. It often makes other lists of colleges with the happiest students. The quality of life seems to be very high there – lots of school spirit, small town friendliness, good academics.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Actually, very little correlation with Princeton Review’s list of “top party schools.” Georgia, Penn State, and UT-Austin are the only 3 schools that make both lists.</p>
<p>Huh? NC State? Acceptance rate over 50% and lots of smokers. Perhaps North Carolinians are just happier in general.</p>
<p>gadad,</p>
<p>Could you please explain to me Villanova “choosing” to stay as a Regional University? I thought schools were categorized based on Carnegie Classification.</p>
<p>I believe Carnegie classification only applies to LACs and Universities, not Regional vs. National. I am interested in whether it is the schools that choose that or USNews, though.</p>
<p>Tulane? Oh really? My brother was in Tulane and he said it “consists of many international students that are bastards”.</p>
<p>Your brother sounds like a real winner.</p>
<p>I like how people go straight to bashing the schools on the list simply because theirs isn’t on there. This is a survey based on a combination of living, academic experience, and stress level. It’s not that big of a deal if your Top 10 or 20 elite school isn’t on here, you can’t win at everything.</p>
<p>Being from NC, I know exactly why Duke isn’t on there. Only 1/3 of their dorms have AC.</p>
<p>*1/3 of the freshmen dorm</p>
<p>Dorian_Mode:
lol. Well, Tulane has a very high tuition that is even higher than Yale and Harvard, so this school end up many rich people. </p>
<p>But the fact that many rich kids in Tulane never face obsticles and became arrogant.
I am sorry if anyone feel insulted.</p>
<p>I agree with GaDad about Stevens. I am very familiar with the school and despite its attributes, I don’t see how it would make a list like this one. I don’t necessarily agree with all of the schools on the list and could come up with other schools I think belong in their spots, but they don’t stand out like Stevens does.</p>
