<p>No way is there too much drinking at Northwestern -- it's very balanced. The idea that anyone would put NU on a list like this is ridiculous.</p>
<p>Spongebob, I doubt anyone intelligent (like those harmless Asian guys) would ever want to 'attack' you. They probably 'attack' people who know how to spell.</p>

<p>PSU cant be everyones Safety because Its still a great school
Just not "good enough" on CC :P
besides even if a safety for you...wat a great safety to have</p>
<p>PSU is a fine place, im not saying it's not, but we have at least 50 ppl accepted every year, of which about 25 go, and we only have a 200 some person class..</p>
<p>and it is a great safety to have.. i just found other ones..</p>
<p>I actually don't understand the community college hatred here. Granted, I would prefer to be at a more prestigious four-year university, but I've taken courses at my local CC, and it isnt a bad place. I had small classes and the professors knew me and would talk to me for thirty minutes after class. One of my professors at my CC was also a professor at one of our big state universities. Overall I got the feeling that they were teaching because they loved teaching, and they'd do anything to help a student understand the material. I didn't feel like I was slumming at all at my CC.</p>
<p>It sounds like you have a nice community college where you come from. In my town, the community college is where everyone goes who didn't try in high school and thus couldn't make it into any other college. I've taken classes there (normal freshman college courses), and they reminded me of middle school. The teachers weren't personal. I got the feeling that they were teaching there because they couldn't get a job anywhere else.</p>
<p>I'm glad you had a good cc experience. I think, however, that most people here have had an experience similar to mine at their cc.</p>
<p>not to be elitist or anything i would never go to UVA. it's just that too many people go there(well like 20) and i don't think my school's challenging, well most of the kids rn't. So i don't think UVA would be that challenging well at least to my perception.</p>
<p>MY CC is actually kinda good its part of suny and its not the school: u Fail in hs its cc for u...its actually not a bad college one of the top CCs in the country: GO NASSAU COMMUNITY! jkjk</p>
<p>what jackjackson said
"Anywhere with religious affiliation or in the middle of nowhere."</p>
<p>also this is dumb, but i dont want to go to a college that has a stupid name, or that is hard to pronounce. and it should be fairly recognizable/known, so i can tell a random person "hi dude, i am going to College X" and he or she will say "cool!" and not "huh?"</p>
