<p>I am looking for people’s opinions on college campuses that are vibrant and exciting unto themselves. So theoretically the college could be located in a boring town, but the campus itself keeps the students entertained. </p>
<p>I know this has been discussed before, so I am content to read prior posts, but I cannot get the right search terms to get the results I want. I end up getting way too many results!</p>
<p>So, could you either post a link to a thread that would be helpful on this topic or just plain ol’ reply with your opinion?</p>
<p>Cornell University has hundreds of organizations, musical performances, theatrical performances, intramural sports, fitness activities, concerts, and so on. Very lively students. Very lively campus.</p>
<p>false dichotomy, you don’t need the college to be isolated in order for campuses to be vibrant and exciting. Columbia has a vibrant campus even though it’s in manhattan, and I’m sure you’ll find nerdy, boring isolated campuses in rural areas.</p>
<p>I’m not looking for rural schools, I’m looking for schools that are busy despite being rural. My kid doesn’t want to be in a rural area because it’s “too boring” but if the campus has a lot going on (other than just parties), he might be interested. So I’m looking for those types of schools to have him look into.</p>
<p>I think most places with a critical mass of students will have a lot of organizations and activities geared to them; that’s why you might be getting so many search results. It sounds like your kid might be happier at a larger school than at a LAC.</p>
