which college do you prefer to go to?, the great ones Options

[*Statistik*]

For those who are not in college yet, out of these 10 greatest colleges, which one do you prefer to go to? Tough, huh? Well..i live jersey so..i guess princeton and columbia are the closest..i choose columbia.. But if I lived in MA, i would definetely choose Harvard.

[*brownsugar08*]

UGA
University of Georgia

[banthisaccountno...]

University of Wisconsin-Madison



k, Duke

[*Statistik*]

UGA
University of Georgia

READ, that wasn't one of the choices.

[monxcheri]

stanford university *if i can't get into stanford, then ucla*.. or if i'm gonna go in a different direction, then julliard

[xquizit]

Duke.

[yummy_delight]

Goodness, it's a three way tie between Harvard, Stanford, and Yale. They've all got fantastic law programs.

I'm going to have to go with Stanford. It's really close to where I live now, so I can run home to Mom if I get scared of big bad college.

[*iNyCxShoRT*]

I never heard of them, I would pick Hunter. Harvard is too smart for me, as well as like all of them.

[Saeglopur]

Columbia ... but Princeton's nearby.

[pyrochick19770]

Gah, all too smart! LOL
But, I'd go with UCLA or Stanford.

[turbulent]

well since im planning to become a lawyer i figure harvard would be best.
and you know if elle woods can do it, im pretty sure i can lol

but the chances of me gettingin there is slim to none

[monxcheri]

i heard yale is #1, stanford #2 & harvard #3 when it comes to law

[krispy_kreme333]

i want to go to Wake Forest University.
out of those i would pick ucla becasue its in california.

[oXMuhNirvanaXo]

I really want to go to millersville but thats just me...

[*mipadi*]

I'm astounded that Bucknell isn't on the list!

If I had to pick one of those, I'd go with Stanford, just because I like that area.

[DullStringedGuit...]

My dad perfers me to go to harvard...and not really a business person...
i guess nyu cause its in new york?
haha i kno stupid reason

[delicateATROCiTY]

i guess ucla because it's closest to me, but i don't ctually want to go to any of those colleges.

[azn_r4pf4n]

I would wanna go to one of the great UC systems. out of that choice, i'd pick UC LA and stanford. stanford is really hard to get into though. but personally, i'd pick UC Berkley since i live near it.

[Eryi]

MIT.

[daonlylonely1]

UCLA, its big on medical. You should put USC for one of the options!

[carlito1589]

lmao...im 2 lazy 2 go

[short_stop08]

I don't really know about those schools. I like SWAC schools like JSU and UAPB. I also like UT (Tennessee), MSU (Miss. State), and UF (Florida). I guess if I had to choose one it would be Harvard or Princeton.

[beambitious]

Either Penn State or UCLA.

[*autumn.*]

Alright out of the ivy leagers...I'd say UPENN. It has a beautiful campus, and I love Philly oh so much.

Yale has a gorgeous campus, but New Haven is such a shady town.
Stanford is also very beautiful, and the weather is just about perfect all the time.
Princeton is in a cute little town, but I don't like its campus. However, the college itself offers interesting courses. The only downside is that Princeton is extremely elitist and you're not cool unless you wear lacoste and own an LV purse.

So uhm yes, UPENN.

[rockstermonkey]

I would have to pick harvard. My mom went there, as did my cousin, and the enviorment just seems great. All of the choices are really great schools, though

[*incoherent*]

what makes those colleges so "great"? it doesnt matter where you get your degree from...people dont look at that. (well in most cases they dont)

i wouldnt pick any of those btw.

most of them are ivys, so they're just labeled as "great."
but sadly, a graduate from harvard is more impressive than a graduate from a state school to a lot of companies.

[*danielle_x3*]

U Penn is great. I like Harvard as well.

a graduate from harvard is more impressive than a graduate from a state school to a lot of companies.

^ that's true

[ichigofan]

buffalo state =D

[*tweeak*]

My aunt was talling me how wonderful the Columbia campus is. I don't know, though, since I would never get into one of those. I'm aiming for UGA right now. Beyond that, I don't know

[*mzkandi*]

I like the college I go to now. Even though when I was younger I had dreams of going to Harvard.

[Im So Vain]

Hey you left out UC Berkeley. But UCLA is cool. Im going to end up going to a CSU anyways.

[EddieV]

You forgot to put MIT...

That's where I want to go...

[senoritacheese]

I chose yale... it doesn't seem as big dealish as harvard.

[[Scr3amin][Horro...]

Harvard.
If I had to choose from there.
SFU.

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

yale or harvard ... or stanford .. i dont know i cant make up my mind.

[silver-rain]

My dream school is Columbia, that's where I'm going to apply early for next year. But I doubt that I'll get in, eh.
Johns Hopkins is good for medicine, so I might also apply there.

[eccentricity]

Harvard, Yale, Standford, JHU, or Duke. I really liked the Duke campus.

[demolished]

ucla, its closer.

[parallel]

Well. Who wouldn't want to go to Harvard?

[yummy_delight]

^ People who already go to Yale. lol

I think there's a rivalry between the two schools.

[iced__cappucino]

err i wanna go to universityl...does that count?

[ANG33ZY]

from those.. uh Harvard or Yale.

Maybe Princeton too.

[technicolour]

harvard's too cliche. I like duke. I took their SAT.

[5ayuri]

Out of the list I only knew
harvard
yale
ucla
stanford
And out of that I would choose UCLA.

[*salcha*]

University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) FOR SURE. Sigh, dream college.
I've wanted to go to Cornell for a while, as well. BUt since it's an Ivy Leagure, my chances aren't big on that.

[silver-rain]

Harvard is too overrated. My friend visited the campus and said that it looked dreary there and she had met a student who didn't like it there.

[PiGo]

Out of those, it would be Harvard. Not because it's "oooh Harvard!!!!", but because I live in the same Metro System as it, and it's really easy to get there.

[WhiteLotus*]

UCLA! It's local and I've wanted to go there since I entered Middle School.

[xoxoxx]

ucla of course. if i had a chance to get into stanford, then of course i'd go there. closer to home =).

[angel-roh]

I wanted to go major in Princeton University. But since, I've been lagging in High School absents. I probably not get there. It was my goal to go to that college. But now it's changed to go to FIDM Los Angeles. But... right now I don't know. Because of the sketching part that I don't like. I just want to be a graphic designer like Roxanne. So I probably just attend Community colleges that are good to go.

[ItzOnlySydney]

university of central florida. or if i don't get into UCF i will probably go to Troy because that's where my grandfather went.

[shortiiex]

out of those Yale
but i really want to go to NYU

[kill.t3h.r0cK]

Columbia! Plus, it's in NY, that's great! But, knowing me, I'm already set on Parsons...But, that wasn't a big college listed. I used to live in north Jersey, but now I'm in south, which is closer to UPenn...UPenn is what, in the top 10 college in America?...It's expensive as Hell though. If I wanted to get into culinary arts, I'd go to UPenn, great course. =]

[xtreme_<3]

hey, the university of phoenix(i think that's what it's called ..) is a pretty good college, so is MIT darn it ..actually MIT is not good, but great but if i had to choose from your list ..ucla

[*Weird addiction*]

Ok, i don't live in the states so too bad. But i want to go to Francisco Ferrer...it's a european uni

[rx_azngirl]

ucla <3

[monxcheri]

or maybe the university of oxford in UK

[s_parker_luver]

Johns Hopkins since i wanna become a doctor/surgeon.
but i'll choose harvard if i want to study business

[YourSuperior]

I wanna go to Juliard.

[xlauren73x]

my dream would be to go to Stanford for engineering, but i'm not sure i would be able to get in there. also i don't know if i could leave everything around here, so maybe UPENN because i live right outside of philly. but who knows, honestly i have no clue where i want to go besides stanford.. which i stated the problems with that. *sigh* its just so perfect.. has everything i'd want in a college. oh well, we'll see. im just a sophomore.

[2 wordsTomFelton...]

i would rather go to arizona state university!!!! NUMBA ONE PARTAY SCHOOL IN AMERICA!!!!! WOOT WOOT!

[REBELnDISGUISE]

out of these 10 greatest colleges

hey... UC Berekley is pretty great , why aint that on the list?
But anyways... If i had to choose I'd go with UCLA

[jenn_jenny]

UCLA or UC san diegoo. :D

[kimmytree]

None of those. Probaly either USF or Flagler. I still have 2 more years to decide though.

[xPartyGrlDx]

Stanford My dream school.

I was going to choose Harvard or Yale, but it's too far from where I live.

[flc]

I don't really know that much about what I'd want in a college, let alone what those colleges offer.

But if you're talking about Columbia in Chicago, then I guess I'd pick that..just cause it's in Chicago.

[*Ox_Su`Zie*]

how about NYU?!

[magicfann]

why is nyu not up there? its new york not good enough for u? !@#$ u
lol i wanna goto nyu

[Paradox of Life]

I had a chance to get a Duke scholarship, but I didn't quite make it up there with the SAT, haha. I plan on going to Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennesee. Those colleges up there are all prestigous, well-known, hard to get into colleges.

[misoshiru]

UCLA, its big on medical. You should put USC for one of the options!

USC isn't one of the options because it's not one of the top 10 National Universities.

This is the top ten list by US News:
1. Harvard University
1. Princeton University
3. Yale University
4. University of Pennsylvania (UPenn)
5. Duke University
6. Stanford University
7. California Institute of Technology (Caltech)
8. Massachusetts Inst. of Technology (MIT)
9. Columbia University
9. Dartmouth College

So as you see, Harvard and Princeton are ranked the same, as is Columbia and Dartmouth. Therefore, the poll list isn't exactly the correct listing of the top 10 National Universities in the U.S.

[Comik-knerd]

I want to go to bradley accademy for the visual arts...just like take 2 classes in there..

[maryissa]

Out of those Harvard or Yale. But i would like to go to Boston University.

[*FreeStickers*]

Out of those: Johns Hopkins or Columbia

I cant afford either.

[Crich323]

Harvard sounds great but I doubt I would ever go there.

[vash1530]

harvard or duke

[Something Vague]

Those are not the greatest colleges.

[*mipadi*]

I'm looking at possibly going to William & Mary for grad school.

[Ajmalhuuss]

Princeton

[nevernothere]

For those who are not in college yet, out of these 10 greatest colleges, which one do you prefer to go to? Tough, huh? Well..i live jersey so..i guess princeton and columbia are the closest..i choose columbia.. But if I lived in MA, i would definetely choose Harvard.

These are not necessarily the 10 greatest colleges.

Top 10 National Universities (according to U.S. News' 2006 Edition of "America's Best Colleges")

1. Harvard
1. Princeton (tie)
3. Yale
4. UPenn
5. Duke
5. Stanford (tie)
7. CalTech
7. MIT (tie)
9. Columbia
9. Dartmouth (tie)

But let me go on to 25 to get to the lowest ranked school in this poll.

11. Washington in StL
12. Northwestern
13. Cornell
13. Johns Hopkins (tie)
15. Brown
15. UChicago (tie)
17. Rice
18. Notre Dame
18. Vanderbilt (tie)
20. Emory
20. UC-Berkeley (tie)
22. Carnegie-Mellon
23. Georgetown
23. Virginia (tie)
25. UCLA
25. Michigan (tie)

[doork]

UCLA

[xlilaznchickx]

i would say UCLA or Stanford...

[TaintedDesires]

I want to go to U Penn, Columbia, or UCLA. I know I can get into UCLA but I dn't know about the other two.

[BOOGERSHAHA]

stanford or duke, i guess. fairly good weather, and they're both prestigous but not in a "hey i'm an ivy leaguer, therefore i am better than you" kind of way.

[nyctophiliac]

hmm out of those choices...Duke

[innovation]

I'm looking at possibly going to William & Mary for grad school.

YAY.

[anfgirlco]

I would love to go to Harvard because that's were daddy went, but I'm going to DU which is still a good school. Top 100 in the nation.
