A lot of the schools mentioned on here are very difficult to get into and are simultaneously

This list was a joke, right? Since these are the most rigorous schools? Although, I have heard MIT, but I think it is only a party school relative to the law others.

Of course it's joke. Few Students are heading off to MIT to party and get a 3.0 which is "enough because they don't want to go to grad school". Maybe one or two but that really is for other places.

Don’t you know kids in these colleges solve math problems together during the party? different parties for different people..

When I went, Freshmen on up went because they had fake IDs .

Oh this particular bar you didn't get into with a fake, it was notorious for that. The other bar in town (yes there were TWO), yes all underclassmen.

Am guessing we went to the same college did they check IDs at the door using the college freshman directory … amazing how many freshman fake IDs got busted that simple way

Not to mention, it's very easy to not have a single class before 11 AM. Much easier to party in college than HS.

I realize that the kids themselves may even believe that BEFORE they get to school. Once they get there though, they can completely change for the first time in their lives and step out from whatever social group or reputation they had in HS.

They may change, but when they are picking schools, they factor in how they feel about it now. And lots of kids really don't ever move to a partying life.

Or no Friday classes giving you Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night to go our with Sunday night to catch up on work. A college student with no part time job (I'm not talking about 8 hours of work study) and no sport has a immense amount of free time on their hands.

You aren't there to learn, you are there to get a high paying job, folks who don't think this is true are kidding themselves. The hard work was getting in to the school. Going from 7+ AP/honors classes for 7+ hours a day to 5 classes spaced out for 3-4 hours a day max is a cakewalk.

I think all schools have, even the ones who have no business doing so.

Unfortunately, I believe you. But why are you bragging about it?

My high stat kid got into some of the schools on this thread and wants a party school more than just about anything else. I'm torn about what that will mean.

I went to an engineering school. I once had a drunk guy hit on me and then explain a problem from the Differential Equations test that he took that morning.

I told him that he shouldn't drink and derive.

I had a friend who dropped acid almost every day, before breakfast and then went to class. He still got into med school and is now a very successful plastic surgeon.

I wouldn't want to do a dead cat dissection while tripping, but different strokes for different folks.

Omg. No. Just no. You have no clue. None. No one with any clue at all would call UChicago a party school in any way shape or form. It’s a grind. 100% grind.

One of these is not like the others. Only a delusional person whose kid is going there would put Univ of Miami on this list. School for hos and bros.
