What guest 2 said. I never understood party schools. I usually had to endure long hours of drunken loudness and idiocy while trying in vain to sleep. Maybe if we actually spent our time doing serious work and not pissing away our education (that mommy and daddy are paying for) with hedonistic pursuits, America would be in a better state, intellectually. Or maybe it's culturally ingrained that making a fool of yourself is acceptable?

Olin has barely 300 kids, so there's probably very few fake IDs to go around.

For the record - that goofy Harvard "hottest for you" ranking didn't come from The Princeton Review but from Newsweek. The Princeton Review rankings aren't arbitrary: they're based PrinRev's survey of 120,000 students at the 366 schools in the book who reported on their campus experiences at them and rated their own schools. Go to www.princetonreview.com to see all 62 ranking lists and FAQs on how it's all done.

there must have been a sick pool going among copy writers to get the words "Harvard" and "hottest" published in the same sentence.
