Party school with decent academics?

<p>I’ve got similar stats man and I’;m looking for alot of the same as you, I’m looking to have just as much fun as I did in high school and then some :p. Anyway my choices:
University of miami (this is the school I want to go too): Beatiful weather, great city, great women, its a great place to study cuz they’ve got the great academics and great social scene.</p>

<p>USC You’re going to be in southern california, at a school that’s football team is consistently dominating on the field. Not to mention it’s something like 27th in Newsweek Ratings IIRC.</p>

<p>UT - Austin/Uni of Arizona/University of Wisconsin Madison/any other lage state universities. With some of the biggest public populations in the nation coupled with the state funding that makes for great education (at last for a public university) is sure to get points from your mom.</p>

<p>Places I might not suggest:</p>

<p>NYU : You don’t have your own campus per se, and yea, you are in the city, but trust me it gets old fast.</p>

<p>I can’t say cornell is bad, but I’ve got an older friend that went and said that the parties were terrible and the women weren’t all that great (and don’t gimme an e lecture about talking about women, he’s going to be in college of course its a factor). </p>

<p>Alot of the ivies. I mean not that they can’t throw a good party, but it’s not an every weekend thing that you’re looking for.</p>
