<p>University of Minnesota- If lunch must be eaten outside, all students are wearing parkas and scarfs and are unable to communicate.</p>
<p>Michigan, Wisconsin, Uva, UNC, UCLA, Berkeley, Texas, and Illinois. The total college experience table-3,000,000 alumni can't be wrong.</p>
<p>barrons - I chose Northwestern because of Total College experience (if by total experience you mean great academics plus great athletics and activities), and doubtless, tehre are other colleges that belong on that list. One could make a point that any of the top or second-tier UCs would (davis, san diego, santa barbara) although they lack athletics, theres nothing more like college than life at a UC</p>
<p>A few college stereotypes on a previous thread:</p>
<p>TheCity, I don't think one could really make the argument that a school without top-notch athletics like the UC's you mentioned can offer the "total" college experience. Berkeley, La? Yes. Other UC's? No. </p>
<p>It's like saying "yeah, that ice cream shop offers the full range of ice cream flavors, though it lacks vanilla." Sorry, it's finals time and I couldn't come up with a better analogy than that. But you get my point. Congrats on NW though.</p>
<p>As a Vanderbilt student, I was insulted when you put Carnegie Mellon at our table. Vandy's campus is socially active and gregarious while Carnegie Mellon has the stereotype of being awkward engineers. Also Vandy's stereotype is having rich kids, pastels (w/popped collars), and BMWs (if they crash them, daddy will get a new Range Rover in return) not to mention the flawless girls.</p>
<p>Needless to say, Vanderbilt's best friends would be Washington and Lee and University of Virginia. These three schools are known to frat hard in their Polo and Vineyard Vine attire while living a country club lifestyle. At lunch they would sit with other schools such as Colby, Colgate, Dartmouth, Davidson, Georgetown, Haverford, Middlebury, Princeton, and Hamilton. Duke can eat with us too if they talk about lacrosse or squash and not basketball.</p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon can go sit with MIT, Caltech, Rice, and University of Chicago and talk about Star Wars or Magic the Gathering tournaments.</p>
<p>btw, this thread is hilarious</p>
<p>Pastel polos with popped collars? Count USC in!</p>

I must say that Vanderbilt's facebook Anti Popped Collar Club has a strong 891 members :)</p>
<p>this is unfortuantely true. there seems to be some sort of backlash against popped collars. however, even fratty kids think they are lame now because MTV has popularized them so much. obviously, people with any style of dress can fit in well at vanderbilt. but the fraternities still frat hard with pastels, madras, and seersucker. </p>
<p>nevertheless, i still believe our lunch table with UVA and Washington and Lee is the coolest</p>

<p>HELL YEAh</p>
<p>The rests (unknown colleges) are the kids who eat lunch in the toilet stalls. LOL... They need to make more stalls in the school.</p>
<p>Ewwwwwwwwwwww!</p>
<p>Just like Katie in Mean Girls...</p>
<p>Who are those punks in the back corner with the cobalt blue mohawks and all the piercings?</p>
<p>gadad: thats reed, oberlin, UCSC, a large segment of berkeley, and probably a few others that im forgetting. </p>
<p>actually, thats just the description of a typical student, those colleges themselves have much more traditional attitudes towards the academics.</p>
<p>Nurm-- Cady. ;)</p>
<p>Brown, Columbia, University of Chicago, UC Berkeley, Swarthmore, Wesleyan...the intellectuals and political activists</p>
<p>the only "sitting" being done by these political activist schools would be organized sitins demanding the lunchroom workers get higher pay :P</p>
<p>Colgate, Bucknell,Holy Cross,Davidson,Dartmouth,Lafayette-very good LAC's with Division 1 sports.</p>
<p><em>imagines Lafayette, a girl, walking up and fluttering her eyelashes at Dartmouth</em> <em>high, giggly voice</em> Hey Dartmouth, we're both very good LAC's with Division 1 sports.</p>
<p>??? Hehe, the point is to talk about them as though they were people.</p>
