<p>What schools do you think have the best collegiate experience? </p>
<p>In other words, which schools most fit the stereotypical perception you think a college should have?</p>
<p>I think USC is very classic-college-experience.</p>
<p>Penn State seems like the epitome of college life to me.</p>
<p>That’s Penn State, not the University of Pennsylvania (though Penn is also great for collegiate experience, I wouldn’t quite call it stereotypical)</p>
<p>I’ve only been a student at one college, so I can’t really compare it to other places, but I’d say undergrad life at Dartmouth is just about ideal.</p>
<p>Hmmm… how about Duke?</p>
<p>People really love Duke. Beautiful campus, great sports and all that, fabulous academics and much more diverse and interesting than the old stereotype…</p>
<p>I thought Princeton had the best undergraduate experience.</p>
<p>UNC-Chapel Hill. Awesome college town, great at pretty much every sport, amazing academics, and great weather. Honestly its hard to beat as far as overall collegiate experiences go.</p>
<p>Duke has a beautiful campus and a vibe that some people like, but it is located in an absolutely terrible city (Durham).</p>
<p>Stanford, Notre Dame, others.</p>
<p>MY SCHOOL.</p>
<p>Any more questions?</p>
<p>UNC
Duke
Michigan
Wisconsin
Florida
Texas</p>
<p>Rice, Yale and William and Mary. they’re copy cats of Oxbridge :D</p>
<p>Duke, Stanford, Notre Dame, Rice.</p>
<p>Florida (I would particularly hate it)</p>
<p>UCLA</p>
<p>It depends what you mean by classic. If you mean the 1950s style studious prep school, I’d say Amherst. If you mean teen-movie classic, although I don’t know much about the party scene, Penn State sounds like a winner (the fact that University Park has 40,000 students makes this pretty inevitable). If you mean all-around classic - lots of school spirit, high but reasonably achieving students, good sports team, college town feel, nice campus - I’d say UNC Chapel Hill.</p>
<p>^^^ “MY SCHOOL. Any more questions?”</p>
<p>Nice. 
As it should be!</p>
