[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like there's a real viral marketing opportunity for ASU here.  Hope they take advantage of it.  [/quote]

Arizona State?

I am not following.   :?: [/quote]

The whole reason Lori Laughlin did this was so her daughter could go somewhere that wasn't ASU.  [/quote]

But was that where she was initially supposed to go, or are you just bashing ASU for no reason? That college does a lot of good for their instate students. President made it bigger and adds online online opportunities to equal over 80K students. little to no-one gets rejected in-state. Smart kids get full rides. He stated he wanted everyone an opportunity to get educated. I rather my kid go to a school like that, than an uptight rich white school these parents bribed for.

Sorry, just not a fan of college bashing [/quote]

ASU is a known school for partying and not so serious students. Have you been living under a rock? [/quote]

I think you have.  Maybe in the early 2000's, but that school has undergone a huge transformation.  I used to live in Phoenix.  ASU is a fantastic growing school.  #1 in the country for innovation. #11 for undergrad teaching.  #38 for best undergrad engineering. #50 top public school.  Not stellar, but not an idiot party school.

Can you post the lists that you found it was a top partying school?   I don't see it on any of the current lists or from any the past couple of years.  I do see Tulane as the #1 on most of them though.  I did find ASU as #56 in Niche, but USC was listed as #18.  I also found it as #40 on Stacker (smacked between #41 UMCP and #39 Lehigh) and USC was listed as #33.

Is USC just known as the better school because more elite kids go there?  More families that can pay for their kids to get tutors, test prep, etc.... to bump up the average scores of a college.  To get kids to graduate on time because they don't have to work part time or skip a semester to work to pay for college or support their parents?  To let their kids into fancy programs, internships, etc.. where they haven't truly earned it.  Or to bribe or donate to get their kids in the school?  Over 40% of the kids at USC have families that make over $120K.  ASU only have 15% that do and has 35% of kids whose families make less than $30K.

So basically PP, you are judging the worth of the school by the elite that goes there.  USC is ahead of ASU in every partying list.  So is ASU just considered the party school in your mind because it doesn't cost a fortune to go there or that the kids aren't rich enough to be handed everything including high GPA's and test scores? Maybe it is because they allow surrounding compact states to come in for in-state tuition even though they know it will never bring up their mean GPA and scores. Disgusting.  :roll:

You are ignorant and elitist as well.

USC is currently ranked 21 by US News.  [/quote]

and like the PP said, how do they get that rank?  Rich white people . [/quote]
