How did your school do?

[accidntel deths]

Le Cordon Bleu isn't on the list. :(

[Shatter590]

the rankings system is total BS...

anyhow, mine ranks (predictably) in most diverse student body, best in northeast, best value. im not registering to find out exactly where, but it generally gets the same reviews in every college guide. all i care about is the anthropology dept, which is one of the best in the state, east coast and nation.

[accidntel deths]

Where do you go to school?

[Shatter590]

Where do you go to school?

Hunter College of the City University of New York. its in my profile, and one of the most popular colleges for NYC high school graduates lol. and apparently theyre considered "selective", no idea why, ive never had a probkem getting in

[selftitled85]

yeah it seems to be a bull shit list...jmu should def be up there for party scene. i have been to my fair share of colleges including rutgers and psu and neither compare on a good night at jmu. literally hundreds of apartment parties with no fee to get in. freaking incredible.

#6: students dissatisfied with fin aid
#16: lots of beer
#5: best campus food

also: best southeastern college list, americas best value colleges, and colleges with a conscience.

[asmolitor]

i'm kinda mad wisconsin dropped out of the party school rankings, but at least we're still #1 in beer. though i don't know about the newspaper one... #16 for the largest circulated independent college paper in america? i mean, hell, we're the only school that has two student newspapers.

that's right, we can't brag about parties anymore... but we'll make up for it in editorials.

2009 Best Value Colleges – Public

But those aren't ranked. But yeah, fuck it. I hated my it there.

washu in st. lou:

#8 Best Campus Food
#7 Dorms Like Palaces
#19 Happiest Students
#9 School Runs Like Butter
#11 Students Happy with Financial Aid
#1 Best Quality of Life

i'm an incoming freshman, so i haven't experienced this yet or anything. i'm excited though.

I've always wondered how you can rank quality of life, and how they compile these lists. Since you're done with your first year now, do you agree with the list from last year? (someone else revived this, so I figured why not ask.)

I've always wondered how you can rank quality of life, and how they compile these lists. Since you're done with your first year now, do you agree with the list from last year? (someone else revived this, so I figured why not ask.)
well to quote the site itself, this is what they base the quality of life score on:
"Based on responses from students to several questions covering food on and off-campus, dorm comfort, campus beauty, ease of getting around campus, relationship with the local community, campus safety, the surrounding area, interaction between students, friendliness and happiness of the student body and smoothness with which the school is administered."

i personally am really happy with washu in all the categories it was ranked in. food on-campus is great, a lot of options as far as types of food and there's something nearby no matter where on campus you are. And washu pays for your public transportation incase you want to go elsewhere.
the dorms are awesomeee... the new dorms are amazing, and even the old dorms are nicer than the dorms in some of the schools i visited.
and of course people have their complaints about the school, but for the most part everyone seems really happy to be there.
the financial aid is so excellent... the dpt is really willing to help. the school does run really smoothly, and is really organized with things it puts together, but administration is kind of slow to get back to messages and such. umm what else... well as far as that quality of life rating description goes: campus is really nice... dorms are completely separated from academic buildings which is really nice. campus is totally walkable, plus a shuttle circulates every 10 minutes or something like that. i've never had a problem with safety, but i'm always really careful, keeping in mind st. louis is not known for being the safest city, ha. surrounding area is great, lots of nice neighborhoods for running, forest park right across the street (huge! free zoo and museum too :)). and people really are friendly, at least compared to miami.

WOW that was long, sorry! but yeah, i really am pleased with washu considering the rankings. and i'm really happy as far as academics go also.

I laughed at this when i saw the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign one. I admit, some of their stuff may be true. But they are forgetting about one of U of I's greatest strengths... engineering! its highly ranked with us news and world report
