[pewye]

Fisk University (Nashville, Tenn.)

I read this as fist fuck University

 

[BrodiemanTTR]

lol @ my dad's alma mater #2.

 

[SA-X]

#8 sounds a lot like the college I went to. God forsaken tech & mining school shithole at the edge of the Earth with no women to be found. Except as a bonus where I went we got lake effect snow up the ass all year long.

 

[JCX]

I'm surprised at the top 10 party schools list.

 

[Relix]

Mine is not there fuck yeah!!!

 

[RevenantKioku]

Roofles, I almost went to NJIT or IIT!
I totally expected RIT to be on this list, though.
Time to message my buddies who went to NJIT.

lol @ my dad's alma mater #2.

NJ reprefuckinzent.

 

[Tarazet]

Hahaha, my piano teacher got her doctorate at #3.. she used to tell us she got her degree by coming up with a dissertation so complicated even Elliott Carter and Charles Rosen couldn't understand it.

 

[effzee]

SUNY ALBANY

and

SUNY STONY BROOK

thank god i went to SUNY BINGHAMTON!

 

[aznpxdd]

Wut? I'm at UCR right now and I'm pretty happy!

 

[Phobophile]

how much homework did you get per night on average?

Honestly, it depended on the semester. My last 3 semesters, I only did homework Monday-Wednesday, 9 AM - 3 PM, or whenever I woke up to whenever I went to class.

My hardest semester had two materials science labs. My work load was increased by two or three times.

What are they? I don't want to make an account to view them.

 

[jon bones]

LOL @ NJIT

good thing I went to Stevens Tech in Hoboken, instead... a better school that manages to escape the the "tech school death" by being in the best damn city in Jersey

 

[GallonOMilk]

Glad MIT isn't on there. Then again, if I get into MIT, I won't exactly be unhappy.

 

[Cruceh]

My school is no.3 :lol

 

[Karakand]

909 strikes again!

I half expected to see binghamton on there, the rain gets depressing as hell up there.

 

[Rorschach]

You can't be happy in the 909. It's physically impossible.

 

[Jazzy Network]

Lol why all teh QQers at NJIT?

 

[Tashi]

I go to RIT and its not there...im sure its number 11 though:lol

 

[Karakand]

I go to RIT and its not there...im sure its number 11 though:lol

I spent like 3-4 days at RIT once.

Never again.

 

[CajoleJuice]

I saw this already. Not surprised to see my college on there. Well, one of them at least.

Meh, that list ok. UT is at least top 5 party school.

 

[GallonOMilk]

http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/departments/college/?article=Top10StudyMost09

True, but that is expected. I went through a program that emphasized similar things (thinking rather than memorizing, etc.) least year and it's really tough at first and you have no free time, but, as soon as you learn time management, it gets significantly easier to manage.

On the other hand, I live right near Cambridge, Mass, and the weather can get pretty miserable, and I don't know how happy that would keep me if I had a giant workload on top of that.

Riverside is a great city and UCR has some great science and medical programs and is a pretty good school.

[Stinkles]

Riverside is a great city.

Whenever a car chase starts in LA, the helicopters just fly straight to Riverside to await the inevitable crash.

 

[pj]

[zombi]

[takotchi]

Guess mine is too small to make it on the list (William & Mary) but it's every bit as miserable as a lot of these. Nothing to do in town, tons of homework, sucky administration, etc. A little bit of everything!

Ain't nothing good ever came out of the 909.

Hey I have a friend that goes there! She loves it though, said her sorority has made her life much more enjoyable. If you want to talk about nothing to do, try williamstown MA. If you can find more than 2 things to do on a weekend night (within 10 miles) that doesn't involve drinking heavily (and by night I mean starting at 8-9ish) I'll like your toes. For real.
