<p>great list college2332!</p>
<p>University of Georgia
This is an awesome party school. It looks good to employers and grad schools, particularly the highly regarded honors program.</p>
<p>Yeah, the W&L president actually sent out a letter about how bad the PR rankings are in response to that because it is something that can hurt apps from serious students if they don't bother to find out more or if they don't visit the campus.</p>
<p>Wow, Tulane in the top 50? I had no idea . . . I was getting so many offers from them . . . oh well.</p>
<p>Penn State hands down.</p>
<p>Elite Party School=Georgetown</p>
<p>Firstly, Georgetown consistently is ranked as having one of the best college towns in the country. There are SO many bars, clubs, restaurants, shops, etc. within walking distance and a short cab ride. You won't believe how many people go out to bars and clubs weekly.</p>
<p>Then of course there's the on campus party scene, and you won't be disappointed. There are a good number of parties from Thursdays to Saturday nights(yes, we do have to study,lol). Sometimes there'll be a live band, which makes it SO awesome. Alcohol's there if you want(a campus group did a survey that found that at least 70% of Gtown students drink, so interpret that however you want). Some parties are held in more upscale bars, etc. especially after bball games, homecoming, etc. I'd say the experience is similar to at Penn, from what I know.</p>
<p>Almost any rural school with good academics - Dartmouth, UVA, W&L. Smart kids with nothing else to do.</p>
<p>Also, MIT kids party hard due to the high numbers of Greek students. </p>
<p>Hall of Shame addition:
Wellesley. They have to hop on a bus to get to parties.</p>
<p>what about UC Santa Barbara? Its a pretty good school and it has a rep for partying...</p>
<p>What about Cornell? It's a top school in the middle of nowhere. How are the parties in Ithaca?</p>
<p>And be nice to Wellesley, it is an all-girls school. But they're willing to get on a bus to party with Boston boys. That's a nice attitude.</p>
<p>i read cornell is very snobby and has ugly girls/pretty bad parties in another thread... this combined with its huge size really keeps me from wanting to go</p>
<p>Nobody mentions USC. I think it's a great school and it has decent parties right?</p>
<p>I was surprised at that. I also find it humurous that the person who started this is names TheDropout and no one said anything. I thought some belligerent CCer would catch that haha.</p>
<p>i hear the parties are hella crazy at stanford</p>
<p>Did I really see UCSC on this list? Maybe if a party is a bunch of people sitting around smoking weed, but that doesn't seem like a very wild time to me...</p>
<p>But UCSB is a pretty good party school. Like at any UC, you'll get a good education, and if you work hard, you can go anywhere from it.</p>
<p>Chico State was also mentioned earlier...it is one of the upper cal states (there's 23 remember...) and definitely a party school. But it has a great business program, journalism (with broadcast journalism, which with all the budget cuts has been getting cut around the state), a great credential program, and I hear it has a pretty good computer engineering program too. But I guess I'm just shamelessly promoting the school down the street from my house!</p>
<p>Dartmouth, Penn, Duke, Princeton of the top schools for sure.</p>
<p>cornell is crunk...</p>
<p>and out of 6000+ undergrad girls, plus ithaca college down the hill, there have got to be some hotties...</p>
<p>1) dartmouth</p>
<p>2) ______________, (2 doesn't matter)</p>
<p>"Cornell [ugly girls hinder the party scene]"</p>
<p>I'm getting SO tired of this. How shallow must people be that Cornell is known for ugly girls? Honestly, "ugly girls" do not all apply to the same school, aren't all admitted to the same school, and everyone's definition of "ugly" is different. So quite frankly, people really need to shut up about the ugly girls at Cornell - because obviously, you haven't been there.</p>

<p>If you would read the thread title closely, this isn't about academics, campus, research opportunities; this is about parties! And what is the biggest attraction at parties (besides alcohol)? Members of the opposite sex! So chill out about being "shallow" and remove yourself from your moral high horse. Everyone knows Cornell is a great school, but it's known for its ugly girls because that is part of this conversation!</p>

<p>"Everyone knows Cornell is a great school, but it's known for its ugly girls because that is part of this conversation!"</p>
<p>...maybe it's just me, but I'm having a really hard time making sense of that sentence. Are you saying Cornell is known for ugly girls...because...we say so? I'm sorry, I really don't understand.</p>
<p>Anyway, maybe you missed my point: It doesn't make any sense that there should be "ugly girl schools" and "pretty girl schools". Admissions are blind in that sense, so there's no reason for there to be a massive amount of either kind of girl. Statistically speaking. I take offense because I'm most likely going to be at Cornell next year, and I have a number of very intellegent, very pretty friends there already. So it's not some "moral high horse" so much as I find the people saying that stuff to be personally offensive, and I feel the need to say something. There's no reason to be offensive and mean to anyone, much less strangers. It's just something to think about when chatting on the internet.</p>
