unc - cheats, plantation economics, educational dullards uva - antebellum 'soft-skills', 'social-science' nyu - white hipsters and asian gunners ucla - no blacks allowed unless you are a ball player usc - in a state of permanent semi-erection (if you are a guy and you've been out here you know what i mean, easily hottest girls out of a top 30 school) vandy - the ejukashunal soufern school, trying to achieve it without as many notherners or jews like duke brown - look ma, no grades georgetown - if sucking off a senator meant getting a job, i would gw - fuck myself, i couldn't even get into georgetown. |

Why do you keep posting the same thing over and over in this thread? Your style is well noted and not just in this thread. Find something productive to do. Geez! |

They're all very good, but certainly very, very different from each other. Difficult to evaluate them side-by-side. I'd think --
UNC -- relatively cosmopolitan, perhaps more appealing for in-state than out-of-state UVA -- will overcome current cultural difficulties NYU -- not terribly user-friendly for housing, student services purposes; wildly expensive UCLA -- not sufficiently supported by state administration USC -- less academically impressive than the others here; not user-friendly for students who don't have substantial disposable cash VANDERBILT -- very respectable academically; not perceived as being as cosmopolitan than some others listed here BROWN -- difficult to be admitted; distinguished but exceedingly quirky; not as academically challenging for a traditional student as some others here GEORGETOWN -- it's what the individual student makes it GW -- wildly expensive; not very user-friendly for the residential student; requires substantial disposable cash to "fit" |

Honestly, this. I think your son needs to better define what he's looking for in a school. |

You can't say the same thing about HYP because their endowments allow students from middle-income families to attend and graduate debt-free. They are also much harder to get into than USC. |

My take-
My take (3 based on actual experience rest just my own opinion) UNC- Overrated UVA- Great school tainted by recent bad press and scandals, full of preppy rich entitled kids/atheletes NYU- Liberal not that selective given my friends D got in with 2 D's on your transcript, no campus, cold environment, very Jewish (she said all her friends celebrated Shabbas on fridays and she had no one to hang with) very expensive UCLA- Big school, great sports, wonderful research U, best weather! USC- Beautiful weather, good solid school, great football VANDERBILT- Preppy, scandalous, good academics BROWN- Liberal, overrated GEORGETOWN- Good school, not as friendly and open GW -Good school, always in Georgetown's shadow though,very expensive |

Sure did. And this is beyond stupid. Unless, say, you went to GW, which would make you stupid and rich. |

Note: you spelled athletes incorrectly. Kind of undercuts your other opinions. |
