<p>What are some universities that really have it all? good Academics, traditional university environment, sports, smart/vibrant student body, ect...</p>
<p>Basically all around excellent universities.</p>
<p>First and foremost one that comes to mind is Stanford.
Stanford has incredible academics and is pretty much excellent in every discipline. Has an amazingly talented and diverse student body. A good, though not overwhelming sports life. Lovely weather, lovely location. An unrivaled level of student satisfaction all around that pretty much isn’t matched from any other university. A university with no weaknesses really.</p>
<p>Some runners up:</p>
<p>Northwestern
Duke
Umichigan
UCLA
UT Austin</p>
<p>I’m sure there are many others.</p>
<p>anyone else?? I’m curious about this too.</p>
<p>Princeton, Dartmouth, Stanford, Duke, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, Northwestern, Georgetown, Wake Forest, Boston College, Virginia, UNC, Michigan, Wisconsin, UCLA, USC, Lehigh, Colgate, Bucknell, UMiami, UT-Austin</p>
<p>Umiami is impressive in this front. Strong all around academics, with no blaring academic weaknesses. Diverse, smart student body. Good school spirit, and sports scene. Good party scene/local atmosphere, nice weather, traditional campus environment. Plus its a top 40 school.</p>
<p>UCONN, #21 in National Public Universities on USNWR rankings.
Beautiful campus in Storrs, CT, great academics, Division I sports such as basketball and football to cheer for. Greek Life does not impact the social scene.</p>
