WVU slips to #3

Here are the only school rankings that matter. The Princeton Review. I disagree with some of these.

Here's how West Virginia University did:

#3 party school - This is a lie. We're #1. Hell, Grant Ave. on a Tuesday evening is more jumping that most colleges on a St. Patty's Day that falls on a Friday. U of Texas was #1. Bull****. I've been there, hung out there, walked down 6th Street. It can't hold a candle to Motown. I demand satisfaction.

#5 lots of beer - There are more kegs bought in Monongalia County than every other county in WV combined. This is a fact.

#6 lots of hard liquor - Goldschlager and Sweet Tea. I'm tellin' ya, it's great....

#7 their students (almost) never study - See, I'm really just average.

#15 best college newspaper - What, something positive?!?!

#16 students pack the stadiums - That's because they only give us 15,000 seats.

#19 reefer madness - Walk into any dorm room and there is a 1/3 chance you'll see a stoned guy eating Doritos and listening to Bone Thugs n Harmony.


This actually cracked me up because it really isn't true at all:

What West Virginia U. Students Say About...

Student Body
The student body of WVU consists of "city people trying to mesh with country people. At times, it is rough." As one New Yorker put it, "It was interesting at first. There's a lot of difference in attitude. But I get along with my fellow students, [in part because] this school has the friendliest population in the country, so long as you're another Mountaineer or you like West Virginia." While the typical Mountaineer is your "normal frat boy or sorority girl," there are "lots of hippies, too." Another student observes "a large international population," as well. By and large, "people here really aren't very intellectual, nor politically active. Many seem like they are here to get their degree and have a good time before doing so."

WTF, hippies? Where? We actually have among the brightest land grant institution students in the country because poor Appalachian kids are underrepresented in the more nationally prestigious schools. They just wind up at WVU. That's why WVU has had 27 Rhodes Scholars - #2 among public universities nationwide.

If all the Mountaineers bitch as much as you, I agree...

I turn bitching into an art form. I don't think of hippies as people that bitch, per se. Idealists that want to change the world, maybe. I'm definitely not that. I'm more of a sonofabitch.

well at least you can recognize the difference.

I thought "hippie" was a term from my generation? Is it really still used to describe kids today?

Our kids just roll their eyes when their dad & I talk about ourselves as hippies😕

 

[WVUPharm2007]

Yeah, the kids who wear hemp shirts, sit around writing crappy songs about saving trees, then do bong hits with dinner. Those guys.

Dr. Dre was very wrong, by the way. California apparently does not in fact know how to party.

I think this is a really neat thing to say..... even more so since it's true. Here in Tidewater, VA, I frequently counsel kids to check out the WV college system. I've sent kids to WVU, Shepherd, and the other state schools. Your out-of-state tuition is the best that I've seen anywhere, and your schools offer a LOT for any kid.

If you want cheap, send them to WVU-Parkersburg. $900/semester and the apartments across the street are only $280/month. College on a shoestring. Only in West by God....

My two years of prepharmacy education only cost me about $4000. Haha, I win.

Goldschlager and Sweet Tea? YUCK! I think I can handle either separately (I'm a southern girl at heart - from Alabama!), but the combination of the two sounds disgusting!!! 😱

How much did your wife's education cost? Nothing? Zero? ha! she wins!

It's a drink I invented. I even gave it some Southern roots and named it The Plantation. I promise you, it will change your life. The best mix we've found is the Sleepytime tea made by Celestial Seasons (I think that's the company's name) with Goldschlager, 3:1-5:1 ratio.

Also good - Goldschlager and diet orange Sunkist soda. Sounds even more disgusting, yet surprises.

We think outside of the box at WVU. We flaunt the established guidelines and devise new delivery systems. With our high party school ranking, we can attract the greatest alcoholics on the planet. We experiment and submit original research in Morgantown, now.

That's not fair, she's smarter than me. I only compare myself to other common idiots.

LOL!!! HA! You're so funny!

I have to say, alumni/attendees of most every university thinks their school is the best party school! It's all in the experience, I guess. My undergrad didn't even make the list, and I never had a problem finding a party, drinking, or having fun!!! I was surprised not to see many SEC schools on any of the lists.

 

[WVUPharm2007]

That's because you are too busy inside the stadium not partying.

 

[CaliCPhT]

Oh, no, no, dear. Believe me, there is a fair amount of partying in the stadium too! Then after leaving the stadium, most of the bars are all within walking distance (at least at my school). Party continues from there. Or, if there was an early game, go home and nap - sleep off the buzz you got from the early tailgating, then back out by 10! LOL - those were the days. Thank God they are over, but it sure was fun!

 

[WVUPharm2007]

My entire state is walking distance.
