Not that I'm guaranteed entrance at any of these colleges, but I'm just wondering if anyone can give me any insight into these schools that can't be read in the books. I know that Brown, Columbia, U of Chicago, and William and Mary are all great academic schools but socially I have my doubts about all of them.
Is U of Chicago as crazy intellectual as people say, or do they actually have fun?
Does WM revolve totally around frats?
Does anything go on at Columbia on weekends?
Any information on any of these schools would be very helpful so if you attended, visited, or know anything I'd appreciate the help.

Brown is really nice, because it has just about THE most diverse student body. The teacher-student ratio is only 8-1, which provides for a lot of personalness with the teachers. /the campus is beautuiful as well.

I don't know anything about U of Chicago or Columbia, but William & Mary does not revolve totally arond frats. It is a great school located in a quait area of Virginia. It has a great law school, and other schools there are good as well. Not to mention you are right at Busch Gardens, Kings Dominion, and Virginia Beach-- can't beat it!

There's plenty to do at Columbia on the weekends, and there's a whole amazing city to enjoy for times you aren't in the mood for the "college scene."
Many folks have a great time at U of C, but those who are attracted to U of C wouldn't be happy at W&M. The "crazy intellectual" aspects are fun for them.

Each of these schools is excellent academically. And, all schools are party schools if you decide to go to the party. The problem is, these schools are all very expensive private universities. If social life is what you're after, enroll in the local community college. You can flunk out much cheaper there.

It really depends on what you are looking for. What do you want to major in, do you want to be able to go home alot on weekends and such, is weather a concern. How do you learn, with large classes or small ones. You really need to figure out what you want and then see which college matches your needs.
