<p>i'm interested to know which public universities and private universities have the most school pride. this is subjective of course, but i just wanted to see the opinions out there, including how schools w/o D1 athletic programs (if any) compare with those who do have them. </p>
<p>please separate your lists and/or rankings by public schools and private schools please. thanks.</p>
<p>public - Texas a&m
private - USC</p>
<p>Public: UNC Chapel Hill </p>
<p>They bleed blue, and the sky is "Carolina blue." </p>
<p>Private: Duke </p>
<p>Watch the antics of the Cameron Crazies...they've got school spirit.</p>
<p>Dartmouth and Duke to me have the most positive, happy, proud student bodies.</p>
<p>Public: Texas A&M</p>
<p>Private: that's a hard one...I'll get back to you one that one</p>
<p>The women's colleges are usually extremely tight-knit.</p>
<p>public: well this is vague but I think all the big ten public schools apply here. I know here we have OSU and the pride for it is so large it's almost a state-wide thing</p>
<p>private: that's tough. but I think I agree with USC.</p>
<p>As Suze said....</p>
<p>Dartmouth and Duke. The two best schools in the country. I will add Stanford as well. GO CARDINALS!</p>
<p>Publics...</p>
<p>Texas A&M, UT, and UNC</p>
<p>most of the public state schools have pretty big school pride..especially division 1 sports</p>
<p>Women's colleges, is that a joke? Thet specialize in black clothing and communal depression!!</p>
<p>Really? Since when? None that I can think of are like that.</p>
<p>Yes, women's colleges. They typically have the strongest alum networks, highest donation rates, most long-term involvement with their colleges, and are otherwise extremely committed to their schools. There's a lot more to "school pride" than waving foam fingers at football games.</p>
<p>i think public: Michigan
Private: Stanford, Harvard, MIT</p>
<p>pretty much schools that are good, or known for athletics, i think school pride is overrated. It is nothing but giving in to peer pressure to seek a sense of belonging. Real School pride should come academics alone. having a great football program for a student to watch has nothing to do with the student or his/her future success.</p>
<p>Devil May Cry: Cardinal, not Cardinals.</p>
<p>You can't make it plural? Bah, whatever...I said my piece.</p>
<p>A plural color would sound silly. :)</p>
<p>public: Texas A&M, Michigan</p>
<p>private: USC, Notre Dame, Duke, Harvard, Stanford</p>
<p>Beginning, that may have been true before women could go to ivies and top LACs. Find me a women's college on the top list of giving today. Let's be honest, they are fine places if they are the best you can do. You will still face a high percentage of lesbians compared to the population and most no mainstream candidate who had it as a top choice. The more I looked at these schools, the less I could see applying unless I really couldn't get into another decent school.</p>
<p>I disagree. I don't think they have nearly as much school pride, but I do think they equal some elite colleges.</p>
<p>UCLA, UCB, Wisconsin, Michigan, Texas, UNC, Uva, TAMU, Florida.</p>
<p>the basics- Notre Dame, Fla, Va Tech, Fl St, UCLA, USC, MSU, Mich, Duke, UNC-CH, NCSU, Wake Forest, Stanford, Dartmouth, UPenn, Wisconsin, Texas</p>
<p>idk about public but from what I've heard students at Dartmouth are super-committed to and proud of their school</p>
