Pretty much the title.
There are a lot, but if you’re interested in Slovak literature and I tell you that CU has a phenomenal geology program, what good is that information to you?
@whenhen Well I was looking for information on them since when I tried searching on google all I got were results relating it to a party school. I was just wondering what its strengths were e.t.c.
Aerospace engineering. But those guys may do their fair share of partying too.
@sevmom Thank you very much for the response. That is all I was looking for, not a big fan of aerospace and definitely not a big fan of partying. Since I have 1 more slot for a college to apply to I will look at another place. Thanks again.
OK, I agree that this is not a great question. whenhen wasn’t being confrontational; she was trying to point out the flaws in your reasoning.
- Just because CU-Boulder is known for aerospace engineering doesn’t mean that’s all they are known for. (It has great programs in a variety of engineering fields, but it also has an excellent psychology department and is top-ranked in physics, sociology, and atmospheric science, for the record.)
- Just because CU-Boulder isn’t known for a particular field doesn’t mean that they don’t have a strength in that area.
- Undergrad isn’t grad school, anyway; you’re looking for a good solid all-around school that has majors in some areas in which you’re interested, not a specific “program”.
Most importantly, a school being known as a party school doesn’t mean you can’t escape the party scene. CU has over 26,000 undergraduates; some of those are bound to not be into parties (and even if only 10% of them aren’t, that’s still 2600 students, which is bigger than some small colleges). Most large public universities have reputations as “party schools” - I can’t think of too many that don’t, even excellent and really well-respected ones like the University of Virginia, University of Michigan, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Pennsylvania State University, University of Texas at Austin and University of Wisconsin at Madison. Inevitably, when you get 20,000 to 40,000 people between the ages of 18 and 25 together in one place (particularly a small town or small city) some of them are going to party and have a good time and thus a university gets a reputation as a “party school.” That doesn’t mean that the university doesn’t have an excellent educational reputation, too.
Besides, just because you don’t party in high school doesn’t mean you won’t party in college
