A school should not be labelled a "Party School" because it has excellent academics?!?! Wait just a minute here, just because a school is prone to parties does not mean that it not have "excellent academics". For example, take a look at Virginia (The University, not the "other" one in Blacksburg!), it has a fine reputation for both, party hard, study hard. Granted The University is not The Best in all academic areas, that is, I am sure Harvard, Yale, Stanford, etc. will say they are better, and they are probably right (let's be honest, right?), but then UVa does not claim to be the best(and I hope that you aren't saying that JHU is, or expect flames -->!!), just merely .... what's the right word ... of "excellent academics". For proof, see Time, Newsweek, etc. surveys for excellent schools that came out last summer. Now for proof of partying hard, see Playboy's poll of .... 1979 (?) not quite sure of the exact date... party schools. In the spirit of Virginia Gentlemen .... Sunny Lee jsl@ciprnet.princeton

For example, >take a look at Virginia (The University, not the "other" one in >Blacksburg!), it has a fine reputation for both, party hard, study hard. Whoops! Sorry, I in no way meant to imply that a school can not be both good in academics and in partying. I just meant that in this specific case (at JHU), both do not exist. Sorry to lead you otherwise. >Granted The University is not The Best in all academic areas, that is, >I am sure Harvard, Yale, Stanford, etc. will say they are better, and >they are probably right (let's be honest, right?), but then UVa does >not claim to be the best(and I hope that you aren't saying that JHU >is, or expect flames -->!!), No, I don't claim that Hopkins is the best. Actually, I haven't seen much to impress me yet. But I expect as I persue towards my major things will get increasingly more difficult. Also, no I don't expect or want flames. Anything that is worthwhile enough to be said can be said politely under the name of discussion. If it can't, it's a flame, and not worth saying (or for that matter, posting). Sorry for possible implications that weren't meant. -- Steve Cooper Johns Hopkins University Homewood Computing Center ...!seismo!umcp-cs!aplvax!aplcen!jhunix!ins_asac
