These rankings are retarded
OK I'm going blind, but I glanced down the list and saw IIT was 11th for date rape (red tape), and thought, why would they RANK that?! Oy. Ok all is well.
Agh.
No love for Illinois State, c'mon!!!
i initially saw 'date rape' as well
how about, Wheaton, #1 least amount of dancing
Having worked at IIT, I can say that I'm surprised that they didn't run the table in most of those categories. I would hate to see a school with more red tape, but apparently there's 10 of them.
What a coincidence...I was just at IIT this afternoon and was thinking to myself that there cannot be an uglier or more depressing looking college campus anywhere.
I guess they're just talking about the undergrad because I have a friend going into the law school there and she doesn't seem to have a problem.
I almost went to IIT, and now I'm going to DePaul. Based on this list, I made a good choice.
I went to DePaul......depends on what major you're going for. However, in the long run it all depends on how much you put into college.....that's true no matter where you go.
I love that they rank future Rotarians and DARs btw. Awesome.
I went to DePaul, too, for Communications. I think that it's interesting they voted for "best college town." I guess it's the best if you have a fakey, which I didn't. :(
