Whoops!  Sorry, I in no way meant to imply that a school can not be
both good in academics and in partying.  I just meant that in this 
specific case (at JHU), both do not exist.  Sorry to lead you otherwise.

No, I don't claim that Hopkins is the best.  Actually, I haven't seen
much to impress me yet.  But I expect as I persue towards my major things
will get increasingly more difficult.
Also, no I don't expect or want flames.  Anything that is worthwhile enough
to be said can be said politely under the name of discussion.  If it can't,
it's a flame, and not worth saying (or for that matter, posting).


Sorry for possible implications that weren't meant.
