Which school?

7-11 · 05-20-2009, 12:33 AM

Arizona, Arkansas, Buffalo State, Clarkson, Clemson, Cornell, Iowa State, Juniata College, Kansas, New Mexico, North Carolina at Wilmington, Northern Arizona, Northern Iowa, Iowa, Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia Tech, Virginia, Wisconsin at Madison, Wisconsin at Platteville, Western Washington.

So what's the common denominator within this list of schools i hear you say? Well these are the schools that my university has exchange programs with.

I'm in the middle of applying as we speak and I've come to the point where i have to list my preferences and i figured who else to ask but the trusted SWDC community!

Now ignore financial issues as i'll be paying the same school fees as i pay here so that is of no concern, the only expenses i'll be paying are accomodation, food etc. The main idea of this 6 month extravaganza is to get excessively drunk, scrape by and pass my classes and just enjoy 6 months of proper college life.

Alright SWDC, lets see where i'm going

EDIT: just read that Wisconsin at Madison and Virginia don't take my major, so they're out

Va Tech and Virginia are beautiful campuses. I have friends at both that really enjoy it.

Juniata is small. Like really small. My cousin went there. Also in the middle of nowhere (20 min from where I go to school)

I've heard good things about Wisconsin (at madison) from a friend.

If you want to party USA style I'd recommend Wisconsin, South Carolina, or Clemson. Of course this is just what I hear from friends or friends of friends.

i go to south carolina..it is a fun time but out of your choices nothing to spectacular..clemson would probably be a no go as well

WMD · 05-20-2009, 12:37 AM

Just stay out of Ohio.

Yeah i was hoping for a much better list when i started this process. Can't really complain but, my school will be paying for the airfares etc.

what is your major

I've heard good things about Western Washington. I know a decent number of people there. Especially good if you like to get high. I also know a girl that goes to Northern Arizona. She didn't seem to really like it.

NAU(Flagstaff) has a lot of hippies and UofA(Tucson) has a lot of people who drive rice burners

Economics. Not really concerned with how good the school is in relation to academics but, i wouldn't be going if that was my concern. mainly going to have fun

mav91 · 05-20-2009, 12:43 AM

oh yeah don't get me wrong it is a good list..and south carolina is a good choice if you are interested in international business

TimD · 05-20-2009, 12:43 AM

Well if thats the case..Ohio is your best bet. According to the Princeton Review Ohio ranks 5th in Top Party Schools. They are 18th according to playboy U.

Should've made it a poll. I'm not saying you should go to Arizona, but out of that list, it's the one that immediately stuck out to me.

Yup, looking back on that comment now I feel like I phrased that pretty moronically.

Arizona

North Carolina at Wilmington

Yeah but then people might start choosing on the basis of academics and gross things like that, Just want to hear personal accounts of peoples experiences with these schools really

don't let sniper hear you say you don't go to a "main" campus. he'll give you **** for going to UW's "juco"

that pissed me off when he called my school a joke. penn state altoona has higher standards than most of the schools in the US and i get a Penn state degree. plus ill be at upark junior year.

I know, even though we just had a vote to change our name to University of Milwaukee. It failed miserably: I voted against the name change because some felt UW-M looks like a ***** of Madison. We will always kinda be Madison's *****, but u know what? I don't care. UW-system, or UM-something, or Penn St. Altoona are fine places of great place of higher education. Just cuz we may not have huge sports programs, or aren't noticed for certain things does not mean we are "bad" schools.

I would go to California but since there aren't any of those I would go to the next closest thing: Arizona. Girls in bikinis almost all year round and it's a big party school.
