If colleges sat together at lunch...

College Search & Selection
1

<p>this idea came to me one ngiht while I was laying in bed, it shows how bored I can truly be sometimes...</p>

<p>If colleges were high school students, which one's would sit at which lunch tables? here's my prediction</p>

<p>Brown, Columbia, University of Chicago, UC Berkeley, Swarthmore, Wesleyan...the intellectuals and political activists</p>

<p>Georgetown, Northwestern, Cornell, Penn, Johns Hopkins... the pre-professional, future lawyer/businessman types</p>

<p>Notre Dame, Duke, UNC, Michigan, Boston College...the spirited, jock/cheerleader types</p>

<p>Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT, Caltech... the cool, rich, sophisticated kids</p>

<p>Tufts, WUSTL, Emory, Carnegie Mellon, Vanderbilt... the wanna-be cool, rich, sophisticated kids</p>

<p>Dartmouth, Williams, Amherst, Bowdoin, Bates... the outdoorsy kids</p>

<p>Please feel free to add to this or simply to tell me I'm a loser and that it's stupid, but I'm so bored and I needed a reason to procrastinate while all my homework/studying continues to mount, peace.</p>

<p>where's UVA on ur list? :(</p>

3

<p>Very creative thread. =p</p>

<p>Caltech, Case Western, Carnegie Mellon, MIT, RIT, Rensselaer - The computer gurus.</p>

4

<p>Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Princeton = Cool, rich sophisticated Kids</p>

<p>MIT, Caltech = Super-nerdy, incredibly smart kids</p>

5

<p>Haverford, Middlebury, Carleton, Bryn Mawr, Wesleyan, Wellesley, Claremont McKenna, Swarthmore, Amherst, Williams - The incredibly intellectual, yet quiet group.</p>

6

<p>University of Minnesota, NYU, Carnegie Mellon, Julliard, USC, BU, University of Miami, UCLA, University of Michigan - The drama kids.</p>

7

<p>LOL This thread is hilarious.</p>

<p>Addendum:</p>

<p>Tufts, WUSTL, Emory, Carnegie Mellon, Vanderbilt... the wanna-be cool, rich, sophisticated kids who kick people out of their table if they think the kid is TOO cool, rich, and sophisticated</p>

9

<p>Reed, Hampshire, Wesleyan, Vassar, Sarah Lawrence, NYU...the wanna-be hippies</p>

<p>American, Washington&Lee, Duke, Princeton, Middlebury...the incredibly obnoxious preppy kids</p>

<p>This is a fun threat. I would personally put Stanford with Duke, Michigan, Notre Dame and UNC as a spirited jock/cheerleader type. And I would add USC, UTA, UVA and Wisconsin to that group. </p>

<p>Some schools belong to more than just one group. Schools like Stanford, Cornell, Michigan, Wisconsin, UVA and UTA. For example, most of those schools have very strong pre-professional groups, large "jock" populations and very large intellectual/activist populations.</p>

<p>"Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Princeton = Cool, rich sophisticated Kids"</p>

<p>my friends who are going to stanford and princetion are REALLY poor and pretend to be stupid to attract the other sex's attention</p>

12

<p>count Harvery Mudd in with Caltech & MIT, I'd say</p>

13

<p>Florida State, University of Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina all skipped lunch and went to eat off campus. ;)</p>

14

<p>Yeh..</p>

<p>Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Princeton - the popular kids</p>

15

<p>northwestern isnt nearly as pre-professional as this thread is making it look. Also, its just as peppy/athletics/frats type as Stanford or Duke (just because their sports teams arent as good doesnt disqualify them from the list)</p>

<p>I dont know that its the popular kids who go to HYPS, so much as the rich kids (they tend to be more popular, for the wrong reasons), mixed with hyper-nerds or intellectuals (not exactly beloved by everybody). If what you meant is that theyre the most Popular colleges, i guess youd be right, but youd have to also include caltech and a couple others. </p>

<p>And i wouldnt group U.Chicago anywhere near berkeley, or berkeley anywhere near a table full of intellectuals, for that matter. Berk is certainly a hotbed of political activism, but this is much different than than sincere, passionate learning that goes on at chicago. Berk is as much a frat school as Texas Tech when it comes down to it.</p>

<p>TheCity, I hope that was just some really, really dry humor about cal being as much of a frat school as texas tech. Walk down frat row at night and look into the windows, you'll see three of four guys playing PS2. If that's what they do at Texas Tech then your right, they're the same.</p>

<p>"Florida State, University of Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina all skipped lunch and went to eat off campus."</p>

<p>Haha, too cool for school, huh?</p>

<p>HAHAHA that was great</p>

19

<p>actually, no. Berkeley is known as Berzerkley for a reason.
Last night, a frat rented a boat to go out on the bay, the captain had to make an emergency stop because a few people were passed out and the guys were starting to vandalize the boat.
Your experience may be mostly of the engineering students, who are of a different ilk than the average berkeleyite. </p>

<p>and either way, we wouldnt classify PS2 as intellectual either.</p>

<p>Well, I could be wrong, but that's not what I've seen. You'll notice that I didn't disagree with what you said about intellectualism part of your post, just the frat part.</p>
