I notice that size of the school does not seem to matter? How about a school like UCSD? Definitely not a party school, although it is in a warmer climate, not as hot and muggy as the southern schools. Also always considered a “dry” campus with highly intellectual students. Son attended University of Portland. Not a party school and it is a very good school with solid programs in engineering, nursing, business. It’s in a cooler climate during the winter (snows!) though it does get hot during the summer.
