SUNY Oswego and "How to Get an Ivy league Education at a Public University"

<p>Anyone remember this book where the author comparred the entire college experience at Oswego to that of Dartmouth? I read it in 1990, looking for an old copy.</p>

<p>i need to read this book. </p>

<p>I have many many friends at Oswego. Not only were they idiots in high school, some are doing well at Oswego and call it 11th grade but with college credits. I'd looove to see how this plays out. </p>

<p>...perhaps try amazon.com?</p>

<p>well, on further thought, they were rather smart with good grades, but they could never put their priorities straight with school and this tradition continues at a huge party school.</p>

<p>I am guessing thast your friends are not math-physics majors. You can take easy classes at any school, that doesn't make those classes a reflection of the school as a whole. A good friend of mine transferred from 2 years at Oswego to Columbia and told me that Columbia was actually harder to get an A, but B's were a lot easier to get at Columbia than Oswego. In fact, he said the contemperary term at Columbia was "Gentlemen's B". Does this make Columbia not a great school?</p>

<p>By the way, you aren't totally wrong, if I remember right, the book did say that BOTH schools are party schools. I'm not sure about Dartmouth, but Oswego is deff. a fun school!</p>

<p>Not sure about Dartmouth being a party school?!?!? WHAT?!?!?</p>

<p>"Animal House" is based on DARTMOUTH!!! lol</p>

<p>Why would you think that students at Dartmouth are above partying?</p>

<p>Brown was listed above Ohio State and Dartmouth was honerable mention in the following list:</p>
