Wes,
They can't be that still, because I got accepted last year, with a 2.9 GPA and a 24 ACT, I think I should have gone there. 36,000 is a hell of a lot of students, but I bet a majority of them are commuters. Wes, why do you want to leave Texas A & M?

Brad

I found that transfering as a junior is pretty easy. I got accepted to most the University of California's (didn't apply to Berkley or UCLA) with a 3.4 Junior College GPA. For some reason I went to the hell hole of a private university. I chose schools based soley on athletics. Not my brightest moment.

Brooks in Santa Barbara, CA.

I saw some of you were talking about UCF. I grew up in Orlando, and spent a year at UCF before moving out to Cali. I had a blast there...classes aren't too tough, parties are great...lots of hot girls walking around wearing small outfits almost year round. Housing is cheap as hell compared to where I live now. In Orlando, we had a four bedroom apartment that was brand new, and paid $865/month TOTAL. In Santa Barbara, CA, I pay $800/month for a BEDROOM. Crazy sh*t.

If you go to UCF you'll have fun...I promise.

Top 10 Party Schools:

1. Indiana University--Bloomington
Students appreciate the near-limitless academic opportunities at Indiana University, but a good party--or basketball game--define the IU experience for many. Student complaints center on the town of Bloomington, which may inspire some of the partying. One student observes, "Sometimes it seems all there is to do is party, because Bloomington is such a small town."

2. Clemson University
Social life at Clemson revolves around the school's football team, a posse with a storied heritage. Saturdays in the fall are dedicated to following the exploits of the Tigers. When not rooting for the home team at "Death Valley," students go downtown on the weekends. Post-game parties are a popular diversion, and fraternities play a large role in students' social lives.

3. University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa
Students report that "Alabama is a great place if you are looking for a good time, from going to the bars, to sitting on the porch with friends, to a huge victory party (after football games)." More than a few students, it should be noted, mention with pride that 'Bama received a "#2 Party School" ranking in a previous ranking of the top party schools. Let's hope they're not too crushed at having slipped to #3.

4. Penn State University
With a student population the size of many American towns, Penn State can offer a wide variety of academic--and social--options. "Anything you want to do on a weekend," explains one student, "you can find a group of people to do it with ... There are concerts, arts, club activities, everything." Although many shrug off Penn State's party school reputation, most agree that "Penn State is a party school no matter what anyone says. We throw a party for any reason."


5. University of Florida
"What, UF is a school? I thought they were just a football team." So writes one student who pithily sums up many students' reverent attitude toward the Gators' gridiron powerhouse. Life at UF revolves around sports--specifically, football and basketball--and partying. Students party from Wednesday to Saturday night, and though many consider Gainesville to be a "podunk town," there are plenty of clubs and bars. Also, the university provides a lake where students can sail, canoe, and Jet Ski for free.

6. State University of New York at Buffalo
Students willing to brave the frosty winters of New York State's northwestern academic outpost will find a healthy party scene. As one student explains, "either you go to frats and dance clubs ... or you don't. If you don't, there's really nothing else for you to do here." One student warns upstate neophytes that the campus "lives up to the isolated tundra stereotype of Buffalo."

7. University of New Hampshire
Once known as a major party school, UNH has tempered the scene in recent years by offering "tons of activities on campus during the week and weekend to [discourage] students from ... partying." Some students say that as a result of these efforts, the university's "party school" reputation is not entirely deserved. But the party goes on for many students. "Frat Row"--center of the "huge Greek life" on campus--is a popular party destination.

8. University of Colorado at Boulder
Students love living in Boulder because "it is full of great restaurants, movie theaters, and shops. So if you can't keep yourself busy with CU concerts, intramural sports, or student groups, there's still plenty to do." For lovers of the outdoors, CU Boulder offers many recreational opportunities: "The outdoor activities are endless--hiking, biking, skiing." But according to a journalism major, "The coolest thing about this place [is that] even when everything is getting you down, you can go out and have an awesome night."


9. Florida State University
Students at Florida State aren't fanatical about their studying. An English major tattles that many students skip classes and that the party scene is considered by many to be as important as the academic one. Tallahassee clubs are "decent," and there are always parties to crash, both at private off-campus houses and at fraternities and sororities. Greek organizations are extremely popular and are known as much for their charitable endeavors as for the parties that they host.

10. University of Wisconsin at Madison
Madison undergrads report an active, but not overwhelming, party scene on campus. In fact, Wisconsin's reputation as a party school has diminished in the past few years. One student writes, "Yes, people party at Madison. There are some that do nothing but, and some who never do. Most, however, find a balance between parties and the thriving cultural scene Madison offers... The greatest thing about Madison is that whatever you're interested in, someone else is, too."

Ha ha, that's funny. I went to UCSB, but I grew up in Northern California so the housing prices were pretty comparable. Must've been a huge shock to you comin' outta Florida. Still, can't beat the weather or the scenery.

The school I'm planning on going to is top 10 in both those lists- Madison.

It's also #1 in the state and #9 in the nation. Supposedly, of course.

I don't know about many of those schools on the list aub posted, but I can attest to the fact that the University of New Hampshire knows how to party!

I went to UMass (a great party school in it's own right - used to make all the lists, but the President had to clean up its image a little bit once his brother made the FBI's Top 10 Most Wanted) in Western Mass and my roommate was from Manchester, NH. Needless to say, we went to UNH a lot and had a blast! It's cold as hell up there and there ain't much more to do than get toasted and get some action.

Cute girls, great party scene, and actually a nice campus. Had their engineering program been better, I would have thought about it more.

SUNY Buffalo is supposed to be hopping too. My fiancee's sister (my future sister-in-law...as weird as that sounds) goes there and is always raving about the parties. She's a sorority chick though....I was never into greek life.

I will say this though - College is what you make it. Any school can have great parties, you just have to know the right people and go to the right places. I'd love to be back there. Especially right now on a Saturday night with nothing planned. Getting toasted and hanging out with some cutey co-eds sounds like fun!

i'm at San Jose State, and i really like here. the school's cool, but the parties are awesome, there's never a shortage. plus it's close enough to drive home for the weekend, but far enough where i can't live at home. we're always taking weekend trip to san diego, santa barbra, and cal poly...and it's close enough to santa cruz for the beaches, and i can get to sacramento pretty easily to go boarding.
