Any school that focuses on Greek Life...I don't like sororities or fraternities.

USC.

Cal grad here - you Berkeley haters are *crazy.* The school itself is really not that liberal and the education is top notch.

Anything religious or where you would need to take a religious oath

Anything in Florida except for Embry Riddle

Liberal arts schools that don't have a strong math, science, technical or research school to balance out the learning

I would have a hard time with USC. We toured there and the campus was in kind of a scary area and I'm not so sure I like the culture.

Totally agree.

The major is more important

Most state schools (excluding top-ranked) at which we would have to pay out-of-state tuition. Not worth it. UM? Fine. MSU? No.

Why is the area '"scary?" [because it is urban?] and YOU didn't like the culture? what about your DC?

It's hard to overcome our prejudices, but there are facts out there. The crime stats suggest that some of the most bucolic settings are home to some of the 100 Most Dangerous Colleges in the US [based on statistical analysis of official government crime data for 6,696 colleges and universities in America. This data used was obtained from the US Department of Education.]

Any school that has disinvited a speaker due to student protests. If a college stands for anything it should be academic freedom.
