1. I didn't go to any of these schools, I'm glad to see Ohio has moved down the list though. I didn't go to them because of the distance from home and the cost, but it did cross my mind that "party school" may have meant a lot of loud, drunk people late at night which would've driven me INSANE!

2. I have an interesting theory here. I think the schools developed this reputation and then the kids that wanted to avoid that atmosphere were influenced away and now the reputation is stronger because the "partiers" are most of who's left. So I think it does influence students, but if you want to party (or not) you'll find a way to do so no matter where you go.

3. I'm a serious introvert, I didn't have much of a social life, but I always had time for one. If you keep yourself organized, and budget your time you can fit most of, if not all the stuff in that you want to do.
