<p>I would never go to a SUNY, no matter what....</p>
<p>...the very name of them makes me want to puke</p>
<p>Texas A&M 10 chars</p>
<p>Where are your "southern manners," jec7483? You must have lost them on your trip north to Penn State. Go Back before its too late! :)</p>
<p>durham is the HQ of the boonies...nver been to raleigh so i cant comment accurately</p>
<p>Any Christian school. I just don't think religion has a place in higher education.</p>
<p>They give out a lot of scholarships, but it really isn't that great of a school. I mean, you can get a good education if you're really looking for one, I guess. But it just confuses me to no end why people who could be going to Ivy League schools go to Nebraska...</p>
<p>In general schools that are smaller then my HS...<4000ish.</p>
<p>Specifically...</p>
<p>Notre Dame
NYU
Ohio St.
Dook
Montana</p>
<p>Vlad, NYU has 21K undergrads, Notre Dame 8K, tOSU 39K, Duke 6.2K, Montana 12K...</p>
<p>Any UT state school in TN (UTK, UTC, etc...)</p>
<p>Raleigh is compared to CHICAGO??? Is that a joke?</p>
<p>I wasnt comparing them...</p>
<p>Maybe your little brother/sister posted this here with your account while you weren't home:</p>

For what it's worth, besides Austin, Texas, Raleigh is like the absolute best music scene in the US. Chicago doesnt compare. And obviously as a city Raleigh and Chicago are quite different and a ways away--I'm not denying that.

<p>I didnt mean overall. Obviously Chicago wins overall.</p>
<p>so what do you mean by "best music scene"? never heard of it being known for it.</p>
<p>Raleigh</a>, North Carolina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia didn't mention much about it either. </p>
<p>it just says "The numerous local colleges and universities significantly add to the options available for viewing live performance". but none of these schools are known for music anyway.</p>
<p>you've been just kidding, right?</p>
<p>I'm applying to NYU, its one of my first choices. Is it that bad? I just really want to be in the city. Do you know any other good colleges in the city?</p>
<p>It's amazing how often NYU, BU and Notre Dame are mentioned in this thread with, of course, the religious fundamantalist schools.</p>
<p>I can see why BU and NYU are disliked...most people don't think it's too much to ask that a college have a chunk of grass upon which to toss a frisbee. </p>
<p>Playing softball at BU is something like 1st base is a rusty stop sign, second base is a pile of steaming dog doo, third base is a McDonald's trash can; if you get hit by a speeding trolley, you're automatically out. When winter rules are ineffect, the rules are the same except the dog doo will be frozen.</p>
<p>But it's also clear that there ARE students who eschew the bourgeois norms and are dedicated to learning without the usual childish collegiate frills...whose idea of college is an invigorating urban environment with a dazzling mixture of all types of ethnicities, proclivities, fetishes, obsessions, ideologies, and viewpoints, all of which are welcomed and celebrated (except for Republicans, who, of course, as demanded by the schools' free-speech policies, must be shouted down and prevented from speaking--see Coulter, Anne). These are places where people are courageous enough to feel ok about their hipness...where they have the guts to jaywalk at night while wearing all black, and where their logic is limber enough to be passionate about both the joys of chain smoking AND the evil of non-organic vegetables in the cafeteria.</p>
<p>Hard to believe anybody who's actually been to Notre Dame could hate the place, unless they have a thing against clean buildings, good landscaping, and short walks to class.</p>

<p>Cool, but do you have to pay $50,000 a year for this privelege! I'd just move to a city if that is what I wanted.</p>
<p>wow Sam lee, wikipedia? Pretty solid source. Yeah, last time I checked you can change wikipedia to say that cows fly.</p>

<p>I guess the religious part could turn people off, though.</p>
