<p>what are the schools with the most nerdy or geeky student body?</p>
<p>Tech schools tend to be nerdier. UChicago is also hella nerdy.</p>
<p>I second UChicago. My school valedictorian went there. Nerdfest, 100%. Great school though</p>
<p>DD2 looked for nerdy schools. Besides the obvious (MIT), Carleton and Reed. She also liked Lewis & Clark and Knox.</p>
<p>really? didn’t know uchicago was nerdy?</p>
<p>WPI is a nerdy school</p>
<p>This is an absurd question because the term “nerdy” can mean different things to different people.</p>
<p>I agree with noimagination, but if you wanted to know which are generally stereotyped as nerdy: U Chicago, Swarthmore, maybe Brandeis</p>
<p>At least no one’s said HYP yet. People seem to assume smart=nerdy.
Tech schools and schools with a heavy core curriculum tend to be nerdier.</p>
<p>“Great school though.” </p>
<p>First of all, that should have read, “great school, though.” Second of all, WHO SAID THAT A SCHOOL BEING NERDY WAS A BAD THING??? Nerds are fun…</p>
<p>Caltech x.x</p>
<p>Johns Hopkins University
Carnegie Mellon University
University of Chicago</p>
<p>Contrary to popular opinion, MIT is not very nerdy. MIT is notorious for having great parties.</p>
<p>
MIT seems pretty darned nerdy, fun, and creative to me. :D</p>

<p>MIT is full of nerds. They have more fun than nerds at comparable schools (CMU, Caltech, etc.) but are still hella nerdy compared to most colleges out there.</p>
<p>^Well obviously. “Most colleges out there” have academic standards significantly lower than MIT’s. I think the OP is mostly looking for a nerdiness comparison between top schools, not between all schools, because one would be hard-pressed to come up with an argument that the students at U of Arizona are nerdier than the students at MIT.</p>
<p>Seems like a whole lot of nerds apply to MIT, and MIT tries to accept the least nerdy of them.</p>

<p>Maybe not least nerdy, but least typical…27% admit rate for CR scores of 750 and above.</p>
<p>My S got into Carnegie Mellon. We did an accepted student visit and it was filled w/ students my S did not want to hang around. Why? Because they were like him.</p>
<p>He ended up at a very good school trying to be someone he is not.</p>
<p>His history isn’t something to go in to here. Just be true to yourself, whatever that self is.</p>
<p>RPI…I visited and they seemed to have no social lives whatsoever.</p>
<p>@Tzar09 Nothing is wrong with nerds actually I’m looking for schools to apply to and since I’m a nerd why not find schools filled with people like me? </p>
<p>And yea I saw RPI everyone there played WoW so I think I might try there :)</p>
