smart student looking for schools w/ strong reputations &social life! help with list!

<p>the dorms act as your quasi-fraternity… people like it there</p>

<p>Johns Hopkins is amazing, gorgeous and amazing programs across the board. Duke is pretty too, they have a ton of fun but it’s pretty hard. Georgetown is good, but that would be easier for you to get in. Good luck!</p>

<p>When did you visit Yale and conclude it was too studious?</p>

<p>@alyssamarazzo: Georgetown doesn’t recognize fraternities and sororities and its greek life is practically nonexistent.</p>

<p>Consider UCLA, Michigan, Duke, Notre Dame, and Vanderbilt.</p>

<p>^ why not USC?</p>

<p>are you a UCLA student?</p>

<p>Hahaha, yupp.</p>

<p>I actually visited Yale around 2 weeks ago. Arguably it was the first week of classes, and it was “shopping period” - a stressful time for many students so i understand that it may not have been the most accurate depiction of everyday Yale life. however, i got that inexplicable feeling just from wandering the dining halls and the campus that it wasnt the best fit for me</p>

<p>Duke is a great match.</p>

<p>Yeah, you did come at a bad time. But if you got that feel, I guess you shouldn’t ignore it.</p>

<p>Penn sounds perfect, but you already have it on your list :)</p>
