<p>I graduated from high school this year (going to Vandy in the fall), but I'm looking to help out some of my friends (rising seniors) with college apps by recommending some nice balanced schools. So basically, can you guys name and elaborate on some prestigious/selective schools that also have a great social scene (sports, party, overall friendliness/attractiveness of student body, etc)?</p>
<p>Wisconsin, Michigan, Texas, UVa, UnC.</p>
<p>Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Texas, Penn State</p>
<p>ditto ones listed adding Virginia Tech, Clemson, Maryland, Texas A&M</p>
<p>Duke, Wake, USC, UCLA, Stanford, Bucknell, Colgate, Dartmouth & Northwestern + all of the above</p>
