<p>I understand what you want. I wouldn’t want to be around a lot of dumb drunks myself. On the other hand, your thinking seems to be so muddled but stereotypes and judgment. It is time to expand your world.</p>
<p>My cousin went to Bowdoin and there were plenty of idiot drinking types there, too. I sat next to two girls talking, who were going to go to Emory in the fall, and they were having the most inane conversation I have ever heard about frats and drinking and living their spoiled lives. Meanwhile, these “hippy” schools you are disparaging can include the most creative and intellectual people you would ever want to meet. I wonder why you think the students at Bowdoin or Emory are going to be any more “mature” than a school where some people score less well on the SAT.</p>
<p>Stop being so elitist! There are plenty of great schools for intellectuals that don’t suit your apparent need for status. I could make a long list. Maybe you should open your mind up to new possibilitites.</p>
