Northwestern vs. Rice vs. CMU vs. UMich

<p>NU hardly trumps Michigan in most academic rankings by department.</p>

<p>Phead goes to Hopkins not Michigan so chillax. And it's a joke responded to a joke anyway.</p>

<p>Oh Ok. I see. So NU trumps Hopkins in every way. That i can accept. :-)</p>

Phead,
You clearly haven't followed FB closely. So far, the Wildcats have blanked opponents four times in the second half this season.

<p>At least I follow football teams that matter. Alabama, Florida, Texas Tech, Texas, Penn State, Ole Miss, and Oklahoma. These are the teams that I watch on ESPN. The only other time that I saw NU on ESPN was when they got thrashed by Ohio state 45-10? and Michigan when they broke their record of most losses in a season that was set back in 1962. </p>

:D I tripled checked and is simply not the case :-)</p>

<p>i was told Rice students are too nerdy, well known for social studies.
UMich has strong business and premed
CMU has strong business and engineering
Northwestern has good social studies.</p>

Not me! Honestly, though, that sounds like an unreliable source, as Rice is generally most renowned for its science and engineering, along with its smaller music and architecture schools.</p>

<p>Phead, I like how you mentioned Lacrosse and then just edited that part out from your post :) Yep, I saw that.
Did you just google and find out that our women's lacrosse team has been national champion for the past four years?</p>

<p>Just because you watched one of the three football games we lost amongst the eleven we've played this season, that doesn't mean everyone scores against Northwestern ;)</p>

<p>The ESPN joke was actually a spin off of Ball State fan's poster that read "Everyone Scores Points on Navy," which is quite unbelievable yet very true even to this day. :-)</p>

<p>Anyways, it was meant to be a joke against Hawkette. No harm intended. Oh yes, About that womens lacrosse team comment... I had to do a little research to double check if I made any mistakes. NU's womens lacrosse team went undefeated in 2005. Not bad. At least we have a mens lacrosse team, #1 in the country baby. Woot. Good Ol' Google.</p>

<p>"UMich has strong business and premed"</p>

<p>Umich is definitely one of the leaders and the best in most academic fields of study. Top ranked liberal arts education, business, engineering, pre-law, pre-med, kinesiology, education, arts, nursing, pharmacy pretty much sum up everything.</p>

<p>Congrats - so do do millions of other people (you must feel special).</p>

<p>Otoh, enjoy JHU FB - oh, wait...</p>

<p>I like Rice best, fit-wise. UMich last.</p>

<p>I went to the Carnegie Mellon pre college drama camp thing this past summer, and it made me never want to go to Carnegie Mellon.</p>

<p>I visited Rice, and it isn't particularly strong in the departments I am majoring in.</p>

<p>Northwestern is alright, good wresting team, and probably my top choice out of the 4 mentioned in the thread</p>

<p>I would never go to Michigan, it is way too big</p>

<p>If you don't mind me asking, what turned you off from CMU while spending time there?</p>
