UNC gets lots of negative comments. Too parochial, too southern, cheating athletic department, etc.

Stanford seems to be well respected.
U of Washington isn't discussed much but doesn't seem to generate negative reactions.

So far, it looks like only Wisconsin qualifies. Good to have one!


The opposite of love is not hate, it is indifference, and I am totally indifferent to Wisconsin.

For heavy drinkers and people who don’t mind that Walked slashed education budgets in the state for eight years.

True. But JMU is not love on DCUM. It's not good enough for the ratings-driven, window-sticker crowd. Wouldn't a JMU student be better served at a small liberal arts college? (Say most DCUM posters.)

Does everyone love big schools? No.
Does everyone love small schools? No.

Therefore, there are no schools that are universally loved.

Are you trolling for Wisconsin? Seems you can’t read.


Hard to add William and Mary, when there are ten pages of comments on a What's Wrong with William and Mary thread. Are you saying Yale is universally loved, or only that it gets less hate than the other seven?

I went to Illinois and still LOVE Wisconsin. It's a great school in a nice little city and when the weather is decent in Madison, it's a beautiful beautiful place to be.
