Top schools for the partyer...

<p>Looking for top schools in the northeast area for a smart kid, but doesn't go well with the typical nerdy kind of kid. Last year 3 of our top kids, who all were fun party kind of kids, went to Harvard (2) and UPenn. Do a lot of these types of students go to these schools? Any others?</p>

<p>Boston College?</p>

3

<p>Any school where the average student will misspell the word “partier”.</p>

<p>Actually partyer has at least some acceptance.</p>

  1. It’s the Tea Party. It’s called irony.
  2. That’s a different sense of the word “party”</p>

<p>Ouch, excuse me for misspelling a word… ******* thanks for the help</p>

<p>You’re still getting suggestions. The thing is, though, the “top party schools” aren’t top schools in the NE, so it’s harder to determine.</p>

<p>Colgate, also.</p>

<p>Top “party” schools will likely be any top school with a strong sports program…Notre Dame, Stanford, Boston College, Berkeley, UCLA, USC, etc.</p>

<p>Strong sports program with dedicated fans = Party, party, party.</p>

<p>Dartmouth, Holy Cross, Colgate.</p>

<p>“Looking for top schools in the northeast area”

  • mom2collegekids, most of those schools aren’t in the Northeast.</p>

<p>“for a smart kid, but doesn’t go well with the typical nerdy kind of kid.”

  • par72, Dartmouth might not be this kid’s scene if he’s not into nerds</p>

<li>Strong Sports</li>
<li>Strong Greek presence</li>
<li>State Flagship, University of {Fill in State Name} (Except Pennsylvania where you want Penn State)</li>
<li>The warmer the year-round weather the better</li>
</ol>

Haha, the reason why UF and UGA are high on the list.</p>

<p>Notre Dame, Stanford, BC, Cal, and UCLA are by no means “party schools.” Heck, ND doesn’t even have fraternities or sororties. And have you heard of the Indiana State Excise Police? They are a special police task force with the mission of cracking down on drinking. They arrested 61 ND students at a party a few days ago for underage drinking, public intoxication, disorderly conduct, etc… ND doesn’t have a party friendly atmosphere.</p>

<p>I suggest UGA, UF (actually, any SEC school for that matter), Texas, any Big 10 school (except Northwestern), UCSB, ASU, and Arizona. Even though those schools aren’t in the Northeast, they are top party schools. Most of those schools attract the good students that know how to have a good time.</p>

<p>If you really like the Northeast-type weather, then the University of Wisconsin would be a great fit. They have great academics (I believe it’s a top 10 public university) in addition to great football, basketball, and hockey programs. Madison is one of the top college towns in the country and Wisconsin has more bars per capita than any other state in the country.</p>

<p>If they don’t party at UND then how did they arrest 61 students a couple of days ago?</p>

17

<p>Indiana is a weird state with drinking laws. Yet Indiana U seems to do major partying without too much trouble. </p>

<p>Also I find clear evidence partyer/partier can be spelled either way.</p>

18

<p>by top, how difficult do you actually mean?
Also do you prefer a city school or urban school?</p>

<p>I’m not the most educated on the subject but i would think Boston College, Syracuse, Lehigh, Villanova and Penn State are probably more party schools, even though Penn state is not top. Just some suggestions to look into.</p>

<p>*Notre Dame, Stanford, BC, Cal, and UCLA are by no means “party schools.” *</p>

<p>If the req’t is that the school must be a “top school,” then those schools would fit the definition.</p>

<p>Don’t assume that just because a school is strong in academics that it means that students don’t party on football or basketball weekends. </p>

<p>They arrested 61 ND students at a party a few days ago for underage drinking, public intoxication, disorderly conduct, etc.</p>

<p>LOL…how’d that happen at a “non party” school. I rest my case.</p>

<p>Stanford is not a party school. Where did this misconception originate from?</p>
