<p>Thought this would be a good idea for a thread, particularly because these are the schools that I'm interested in.</p>
<p>Anyone know of any schools like this?</p>
<p>Based on what I've heard of, schools that fit in this category seem to be schools like UMich, USC, UCLA, UNC, UVA, and UC Berkeley. Are there any others that can be considered very prestigious universities where people don't study 24/7?</p>
<p>It’s harder to find top colleges where you do find kids who study 24/7. Big party schools: Stanford, Dartmouth, Duke, Penn, Williams.</p>
<p>Stanford, Notre Dame</p>
<p>Add Vanderbilt, Wake Forest, and Rice to the list. :)</p>
<p>Don’t forget about Northwestern.</p>
<p>I believe Rice offers one of the best undergraduate experiences to be found.</p>
<p>People study at Harvard, but probably invest themselves even more in extracurricular campus life.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Sounds fun. 
</p>
<p>(No offense to Harvard. Students there have a fairly good mix of academics and fun, but as a great example of the typical college experience…hmm. For one thing, it lacks the major sports presence that nearly all of the OP’s schools have.)</p>
<p>throw Georgetown, Penn, Cornell (non engineering), and Northwestern there :)</p>
<p>i would put in my own school, but that will get a lot of people criticizing me for “bias”</p>
<p>Yeah, basically Penn, Cornell, Duke, Northwestern, Vandy.</p>
<p>I dont really think of stanford and williams as party schools.
I know williams is a heavy drinking school, but i wouldnt classify that as partying</p>
<p>harvard, princeton, yale</p>
<p>When a significant proportion of the student body at an institution takes performance-enhancing drugs to juggle a rigorous academic schedule and heavy extracurricular involvement, one is hard-pressed to suggest that the institution in question offers what we normally think of as the typical and satisfying college experience.</p>
<p>
Really? I didn’t know HGH and anabolic steroids were the new crazes at colleges. :)</p>
<p>Anyhow, one’s gotta be Vanderbilt for sure; every other top school’s females pale in comparison or so I’ve been told (no offense, ladies at other top schools), and as it often is, the hotter the ladies, the better the social scene.</p>
<p>there’s parties and stuff at HYPMS</p>
<p>Stanford, Duke, Northwestern</p>
<p>Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, Emory, UNC</p>
<p>Rice</p>
<p>what about Michigan?</p>
<p>Duke, Dartmouth, Penn.</p>
<p>Duke
Dartmouth
Notre Dame
Vanderbilt
Stanford
Michigan
Virginia
Northwestern
Georgetown
Boston College
North Carolina</p>
<p>i know that people take adderall and such at the top schools (and others too), but what is a “significant number” in terms of percentages. </p>
<p>Kids do it in my highschool for exams and I read a study that said over 1/3 of scientists use it w/o perscription</p>
