The back of the book is where the laughs are in the Princeton Review. The fights start in the rankings, everybody nods their heads in the explanations, but when you read what Princeton Review thinks is the best of what students wrote on their surveys, everyone laughs.
These seven students think their school is everything they wanted and more:
1. Stanford is where gorgeous weather meets amazing, {and where} intelligent, and laid-back people learn in an environment where the professors are all known worldwide and yet {are} supremely approachable. Stanford University
2. Best ever dude! Nobody complains if I leave the toilet seat up. It's the best the guy (presumably) could come up with about Deep Springs College
3. I like Duguesne because it has a mission beyond just educating students - it tries also to educate the heart and soul - and that makes for better students, a better university, and a better world. Just don't let outsiders near your basketball players.
4. For the first time in my life I am allowed to think for myself....this is an environment where one can proclaim in class that Socrates is a bastard and, if able to support the statement, be respected for it. Simon's Rock College of Bard. I have students who still don't know what it means to think for themselves.
5. We're small enough that you'll probably hug a significant portion of the population by the time you graduate. Bard College....do they pass around holy kisses, too?
6. We play dodge ball at recess and think what it would be like if we could fly. Benoit College.
7. The students here are as diverse as their views and backgrounds. My friends are mostly thespians and lesbians. They Rock! Bennington College
Bennington students say about themselves that they are "really interesting, crazy, creative, brilliant people...tryintg to out-different each other."
