<p>Well, so would most people. Are you saying that there is a lot of crime, because Berkeley is probably in the middle of the crime department for comporably large, urban schools. If you're alluding to the recently shot Darmouth student, you are being neither funny nor cute.</p>
<p>Berkeley isn't as crazy-liberal as it was in the 60s, so I think you're pretty safe...but there's still not a snowball's chance in hades I'm going there. The UCs shuttle students through like cattle.</p>
<p>berkeley? what do you mean?</p>
<p>Depends, really, on the school, program, ect.</p>
<p>Santa Cruise is more liberal than berkeley, but i believe berkeley hosts the largest (and probably most active) Republican club in the nation.</p>
<p>Texas A&M or BYU</p>
<p>no no guys, I have the ULTIMATE LAST PLACE YOU WOULD WANT TO GO TO!!!...RUTGERS-CAMDEN</p>
<p>LAST YEAR, CAMDEN, NJ was rated the MOST DANGEROUS, CRIME-INFLICTED neigborhood in the whole country.. </p>
<p>at bju, sure you'll get tortured mentally and physicall, but in Camden, if you are not in a room right after classes, you get shot bro!</p>
<p>I mean this would be one of those schools where you know why the retention rate would be low.. Its not because the students are like "Well, I wanna transfer to Nyu or something.." Its because, well, they got busted with caps.</p>
<p>it's Santa Cruz*</p>
<p>Even if Ivies are DI football, they're all terrible, including harvard..</p>
<p>I wouldn't touch Deep Springs, Olin, or any other super small places.</p>
<p>I would never, ever, ever go to MIT.
Forsaking sleep to stay up and do math hour after hour after hour after hour...</p>
<p><em>shudders</em></p>
<p>And I also vote for Rutgers. Not only is it dangerous, but it gets no respect from us NJ kids ;)</p>
<p>i think he means "Berkeley" and that he would "like to stay alive" because of the high % of suicide that was recently reported there. Comparable to Cornell's notoreity actually. :P</p>
<p>-Texas A&M. Not only is it ultra conservative, but its like entering a cult once you become an Aggie.
-Bellarmine University. High school relocated.
-Purdue. Too many engineering students plus it is in the middle of nowhere.</p>
<p>Antioch, Macalester, Reed...</p>
<p>and of course, U Michigan.</p>
<p>the only negative with UT Austin is that it's in texas.</p>
<p>haha, why not u michigan? i've never heard anyone dislike that school before(unless it's a sport rivalry). and deducing from your moniker, you go to u iowa? that's a nice school. :-)</p>

No, they're not! Shows much you not about that! They're not all terrible, especially Harvard, there are Harvard grads playing and starting in the NFL right now! Chris Burk, the starting center for the Minnesota Vikings is from Harvard, and the quarterback, Ryan Fitzpatrick, was recently drafted by the St. Louis Rams. You need some MAJOR skills to play in the Ivy League. </p>
<p>And it's not just football, the Ivies have very good sports teams in general. Just off the top of my head, Joe Nieuwendyk(sp), former Dallas Stars captain and Stanley Cup champ came from Cornell. </p>
<p>Ivy League isn't synonymous with " buncha skinny nerds". They are the cream of the crop, in academics AND in athletics. So stop slamming it.</p>
<p>Texas A&M-An Ultra Conservative cult
BYU-Like A&M, but with more pressure to be a Mormon
TCU-Absolutely no charm to the campus
Anything in the Dakotas.</p>
<p>Wouldn't go to MIT or Cal-tech, even if I had applied and had been accepted.
I wouldn't study in the South or the Midwest..life is too slow-paced.</p>
<p>UTSA maybe...I don't know if it's a fourth tier state school..but I'd kill myself if I had to stay in San Antonio..I think I'd kill myself If that was the only college that would accept me</p>
<p>life, at least at the universities, in the south isn't slow paced. I mean, some places, but mostly not around universities. Take it from someone whos lived in Virginia their whole life, and been through the south, and definetly HATES being called a southerner....and is not southern in nearly every way. It's not THAT bad ;)</p>
<p>I wouldn't go to Rutgers-Camden either. Or any inner-city university I don't think, I'd probably be scared all the time because thats just me. Oh and a little bit about WM...Williamsburg is a really pretty city, I don't feel like I'm in a swamp there. And it may be a little "popped-collar", which I agree is annoying, but nowhere NEAR the extent to which UVA is.</p>
