I think a lot of high school students who have worked hard academically and have maintained a social life will be very interested in the following ranking. Please copy and paste my list in your reply if you would care to voice any changes.
It’s naught but a list. Are there criteria, or a source? Or did you just create it from random perceptions?
@petrichor11 Sources include various websites review including factors such as student happiness, alcohol scene, greek presence, nightlife, etc. I have also visited 14 of the 20 schools and therefore included a touch of my own rankings. Thats why I would like to hear others’ opinions.
Didn’t you already start another thread with the same exact thing? Why two?
Unfortunately, stuff like this is very subjective because party scene to many students probably is not the same thing. Kinda surprised that ivies are amongst the top.
It appears that top students who attend elite public universities aren’t worthy of any consideration.
^ I know right. Almost every school in this list is a private. What about UCSB’s party scene… It is know for that. To some extent, UCLA is similar.
I think he just used USNews’s top 20 schools as his base for this list, which might explain why none of the top public schools are on this list (as far as I remember, UMich appears at 29 and UNC appears at 30. I’m sure UVA is in the mid 20s as well.)
By the way OP, “a lot of high school students that have worked hard academically” don’t go to top 20 schools. Some don’t go to top 50, some don’t even go to top 100. You can work hard in high school and choose not to go to one of these schools, even if you could have gotten in (or even if you did get in.) If you really wanted a list of work hard/play hard schools for students that worked hard and achieved academic success in high school, you’d honestly have to include a LOT more schools than these 20.
I would think having a party featured on the O’Reilly Factor as “pure debauchery” would earn the #1 spot but what do I know. <:-P

It seems to me that wherever you end up going, there will be no shortage of parties.
Fox News probably thinks having rainbow colored streamers at your toddler’s birthday party is “pure debauchery.” Lol.
I like the idea of a pretty much arbitrary list created by the perceptions of a single person. It shows how much we here on CC like to pick apart such lists. My only comment is that there is no way that Harvard is more “fun” than Yale.
@CollegeGuy21 : I see. That wasn’t really clear; thanks for the explanation.
"My only comment is that there is no way that Harvard is more “fun” than Yale. "
Right but is it not the case that you guys object to seeing Harvard more anything than you? Except unabomber et al.
If there was a list “more close to Boston” you’d probably object to that too.
[ Source: from the other side, shared an office with a guy soliciting money for Harvard. You think they give $ because they liked their school? No. It’s so they can beat Yale. At the most trivial little thing. I now know this, for a fact.]
I’m closing this pointless thread.
