#3 Students Dissatisfied with Financial Aid
#9 Their Students (Almost) Never Study
#13 Best College Newspaper
#5 Everyone Plays Intramural Sports
#6 Students Pack the Stadiums
#6 Lots of Beer
#3 Lots of Hard Liquor
#11 Major Frat and Sorority Scene
#2 Party Schools
#2 Jock Schools


#2 party school... who is number 1?

#6 in packing the stadium? Gimme a break.. we pack over 110,000 people in beaver stadium, which is a few thousand over capacity. I can think that maybe Ohio State or Michigan could top us, but only because their stadiums are slightly bigger.


edit: n/m... ohio state is number 19 on stadium packing, and michigan is #7. Who the hell makes up the first 5 spots???

pshh.. i should have guessed... notre dame takes number one for stadium packing. Not really sure what the qualifications are, but their stadium holds like 30,000 less people than ours.

Oh well.. im sure there will be plenty of penn state fans packing their stadium in a few weeks.

Georgia Tech (grad school, just started)
#2 Class Discussions Rare Academics
#9 Professors Get Low Marks Academics
#14 Professors Make Themselves Scarce Academics

Not really in any position to judge but both professors have told me that they are missing multiple class days for conferences..I think that's quite common around here

Texas A&M (undergrad)
#11 Class Discussions Rare Academics
#7 Alternative Lifestyles Not an Alternative Demographics
#10 Students Pray on a Regular Basis Demographics
#17 Best College Newspaper Extracurriculars
#15 Students Pack the Stadiums Extracurriculars
#9 Students Most Nostalgic For Reagan Politics
#11 Future Rotarians and Daughters of the American Revolution School Type
#18 Jock Schools School Type
#2 Town-Gown Relations Are Great Social

I would definitely say all of the above are true--but if our school nespwpaer is #17, there must be some really bad ones out there, cause some of the editorials are laughable--almost everybody gets the school paper..to do the crosswords during class

#8 Teaching Assistants Teach Too Many Upper-Level Courses
#10 Dorms Like Dungeons

The dorms here aren't that bad from what I've seen. The first one is definitely true in math courses. I figured we'd at least get somewhere on the reefer madness list considering how many times I've walked by people smoking weed on campus.

UW also got Best Western school (along with over 100 others) and Best Value College.

We also have the most amount of people playing WoW which is fvcking sad.
