Over at the Princeton Review they released a "Best 357" Colleges list. They rank schools according to all types of stuff like top party schools, "most likely to vote for Kerry", red tape, academics, lots of stuff.

#13 Little Race/Class Interaction Demographics
#13 Great College Newspaper Extracurriculars
#3 Students Pack The Stadiums Extracurriculars
#6 Jock Schools School Type

Wow I wonder who got #1 in packing stadiums. I thought K-ville was pretty unique. I guess they're going for pure numbers.

My school (Purdue University) only made one category:

Teaching Assistants Teach Too Many Upper-Level Courses (#5)

which I find very odd . . . so far I've had one TA teach an upper level division, and he was one of the two best Math professors I've ever had by FAR.

BTW, I swore he had a different Manchester United shirt on every day. I wonder how many he owned . . . I think someone said he bought a new one every time he went to one of their games.
