I had a 2040 SAT (610CR, 760M, 670W).

kfresh, UCLA is definitely quite intense and competitive...at everything really. It's a "study hard, play hard" sort of mentality, as we have quite a lot of parties and stuff. UCSB is obviously the party UC, but I reckon we're not too far behind. ;)

I'm gonna be honest; they're not what they used to be for incoming students. Those of us over 21 are enjoying it... but the first couple of years aren't up to par with the reputation.

The school's trying to clean up it's image... two frat's that I partied at got shut down my Freshman year. St. Patrick's Day (which used to be one of Chico's biggest parties) now takes place during Spring Break (trying to send as many guys home as they can to prevent parties). Dorms parties are still cool... but they're not as frequent. And unless you know somebody, most parties (check, MOST, not all) won't let you in. Ivy is still bumpin at night... but, like I said, you need to know someone (unless you're traveling with 6-10 girls and you're the only guy). Chico (for the most part) has become an over 21 party place.

Santa Barbara's probably overtaken us by now. But the SICKEST parties are down at Arizona State. Trust me on that one.

well heres the famous annaul top 10 list:

2006 Top 10 Party Schools - Playboy

1. Wisconsin
2. UC - Santa Barbara
3. Arizona State University
4. Indiana University
5. San Diego State University
6. Florida State University
7. Ohio University
8. University of Georgia
9. University of Tennessee
10. McGill University (Canada)



AND we have bragging rights as the smartest party school in the nation :mrgreen: haha

Eh, I don't trust Playboy's party list (never have).

Just look at the current list. Wisconsin?!?! Please.

dude, the school doesn't have to be situated on the beach to be a party school. wisconsin is dull and boring, but madison has bars galore. kids are always drunk and its just a laid back atmosphere. athens, ohio too. they have entire streets dedicated to bars and clubs.

on saturdays, they party from sunrise till sunrise. people wake up at 6 to get a good tailgating spot, then start drinking to get into the mood to drink some more (at kickoff). they love their football.... too bad wisconsin and most of those schools have weak football teams.

I just can't see a school in -5 degree weather being a party atmosphere.

I'm nowhere near a beach in Chico... but I'm not freezing my ass off, either.

its not WHERE you party, its HOW you party.

nati light is so prevalent there, i bet it rains beer.

Well, more power to them. I just can't imagine myself wanting to party in Wisconsin. Maybe I'm biased or something.

no, i completely understand where you're coming from. i wouldn't want to party/be in wisconsin either. what i'm trying to prove to you is that regardless of the location and the environment, if kids are bored, they'll party - and party a lot.

cali schools > all the rest of them.

we can agree on that.

Fuk I should've gone to uni in Cali!!!!

playboy rankings imo are the best.

I know this first hand. Chico's not exactly in the most prime location. Think Modesto... but without the cows.

There's nothing else to do here but get wasted. That's why everybody drinks here.

We all should have done that...
