<p>NYU and Chicago</p>
<p>NYU- No social life, losing out on the "college experience", no campus, unhappy students, NYC is too big for college, not a warm environment at all</p>
<p>Chicago- Grade deflation, overly intense students, not enough of a social life, the whole concept that I feel Chicago engenders (if you want to be successful it means you can't party really bothers me).</p>
<p>are you kidding, Chicago=awesomeness</p>
<p>I don't think that's necessarily true for Chicago, as the students I know who have been successful in landing internships and attaining a high GPA (I assume that's what you mean when you say "successful") also have a social life. It could be that they turn in from the party or the dinner early to do work and go to bed, and I know they take their work seriously, but I don't think it's an either/or situation.</p>
<p>(I don't party at Chicago because I don't want to, not because I can't. I feel extraordinarily successful in the way that I've made a lot of friends and am continuing to expand myself intellectually. That was the kind of success I was looking for coming into this school, anyway).</p>
<p>As for colleges I wouldn't go to:</p>
<p>--Women's Colleges (love the women who go, love the premise, think they are awesome, but I couldn't make it work for me)
--Fundamentalist Christian colleges
-- Colleges without a good bookstore or two in its college town</p>
<p>why are so many people saying princeton... what specifically don't u like about it? Just curious</p>
<p>I'm guessing the condescending nature of the students.</p>
<p>^ The Boys' Club atmosphere was what struck me when I visited. It seems like a great school, and it's amazing how proud of it all the students seem to be, but it did seem a little elitist. That said, I'd probably go there if asked. (Not that anyone will.)</p>
<p>Boys' club ???????? what's thaT?</p>
<p>^^^idk...</p>
<p>I just don't like princeton cuz it's in jersey...</p>
<p>Randolp Macon, U of Mississippi, U of Alabama, Clemson, Auburn, Penn State, U of Illinois...all because of racial problems.</p>
<p>U of Massachusetts, Rutgers...for poor administration and lack of funding.</p>
<p>all of the ivies.</p>
<p>if there's one thing i can convince you of, it's go to a school in the south. there's nothing like it.</p>
<p>Drexel has no appeal to me and SUNY Cortland, soo many graduates from my high school go there plus it's just not that amazing of a school.</p>
<p>I don't want to go to UC irvine!</p>
<p>Coincidentally, schools in the south too are ones I'd never go to.</p>
<p>-Princeton is unimaginably boring
-Princeton is unimaginably full of itself and spends all day patting itself on the back for being Princeton. even if it's justified, it gets kind of old.
-Orange and black are terrible colors, unless it's October 31
-Did I mention they're full of themselves? I did? Well I guess they're so full of themselves it takes 2 bullet points to adequately cover it
-Eating Clubs. Simply terrible.
-New Jersey</p>
<p>the one they call tokyorevelation is pretty nice, though</p>

<p>Agreed! I remember I was so annoyed when they sent me a booklet that a) I didn't request, and b) had an entire two-page spread that was 99% black ink and 1% orange ink that said "Princeton University." (So wasteful, just so they can make their pretty name stand out.)</p>
<p>erm.... I guess Yale.</p>
<p>^I second that. Though I am intrigued immensely by the mysterious Skull & Bones.</p>
<p>I would never go to any schools in Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Wyoming, New Mexico, Mississippi, Alabama, Tenessee, Idaho, the Dakotas, Wisconsin, and Iowa.</p>
<p>UVA.....way too many uptight/stuck-up kids..... small area, not too much you can do....</p>
<p>Put it this way. I would never go to a school with a population density of less than 8000/sq mi.</p>
<p>That basically excludes all of the Midwest, Southwest, most of the northwest and most of the southeast.</p>
