We’re #1!
The Princeton Review just published its annual “Best 357 Colleges” report yesterday and it looks like the University of Oregon has jumped up a few spots in a couple of categories and made a new appearance in another, though they probably aren’t the categories in which the administration would like to see the school make advancements.
#14 in Party Schools (we were unranked last year)
#5 in Reefer Madness (up from #13)
#1 in Dorms Like Dungeons (up from #2)
Looks like a winner is us!
Categories where we dropped out:
Most Politically Active (#16 last year)
Birkenstock-Wearing, Tree-Hugging, Clove-Smoking Vegetarians (also #16 last year)
Huh. I guess there really wasn’t much to protest this past year except for the Vagina Monologues, oh, and a war. I guess you need to mention sweatshops in order to get people pumped up around here.
The local NBC affiliate reported this story by listing off the top ten party schools, saying something like “Glad I’m not sending my kids to those schools,” and leaving it at that. No mention of UO’s strong #14 showing. An odd omission. Hastily read press release, or classic Frohn pressure tactics — you decide.
