LOL!

Apparently, the University of Oregon has the worst dorms of all the schools in the US according to the Princeton Review. Wow. That's an accomplishment. I think they actually went up this year too. I'm almost ashamed. It also ranked #14 in the Party Schools category and #5 in the Reefer Madness one. Eh, well, no surprises there.

And Reed made on the list too! They're #3 for Best Academic Experience (and surprise, surprise, Lewis and Clark is 2nd!). Not bad. I love the fact that they're #1 on the Student's Ignore God on a Regular Basis. Makes me wish I was there... Especially because of the 9th Most Nostalgic for Bill Clinton. They seem to very motivated...

Stanford did so well! It's sad that it's #7 for Toughest to Get Into (so glad I didn't apply, so would have gotten rejected). Columbia is 10th... UW is apparently pretty cheap though... I wouldn't say so but okay, whatever.

As for NYU, here's how we stacked up:

#2 Students Dissatisfied With Financial Aid Administration
#16 Diverse Student Population Demographics
#2 Gay Community Accepted Demographics
#15 Intercollegiate Sports Unpopular Or Nonexistent Extracurriculars
#8 Nobody Plays Intramural Sports Extracurriculars
#15 Reefer Madness Parties
#12 Dodge Ball Targets School Type
#4 Great College Towns Social

We kinda suck.... Man, I gotta get to sleep... It's 6:30 AM here... My eye is starting to hurt...

I wish we had a rating system like this for our universities and institutes. Who makes those ratings? Students?

No, it's the Princeton Review, an actual company. They're considered the experts on these things. They do this every year and they also publish a bunch a books on the various tests we students in the US have to pass.
