WHAT??? You can't be a "Party School" and have excellent academics??? I beg
to differ. Here at U. Va. we seem to capture the best of both worlds...

we have >35 ACTIVE fraternities on campus, and every weekend there are
hundreds of people crawling around in bushes because of incredible revelry.

we useed to (4 years ago), have the biggest college party on the East 
Coast ("EASTERS"), but the administration canned it because it got way
out of hand.....

on the flip side, we have an excellent Economics department, a killer
graduate business and law school, and we made Time magazine's top choice
(actually, not theirs, but a book which they reviewed) of "best buy", not
Ivy priced but Ivy education schools. We also made New York Times Magazine
last year as a "hot school" to attend..... come on!!
