There are some mediocre universities there, but there are always a number of top public and private universities on it every year. Looking at the list this year, I see Wisconsin, UC-Santa Barbara and Illinois. I've always thought that Miami consistently making the "diversity not welcome" and "little class/race interaction lists was a much bigger black eye.

Reminds me of Nebraska Football. One minute your mad about going 9-4 the next minute you haven't been ranked in 3 straight years. Sad. I've seen crazier things happen.

Cutting down on Fests is probably why they switched to semesters. :-) Back to Top spongeBOB CATpants General User Member Since: 8/16/2016 Post Count: 1,016 Status: Offline     RE: OU fails to make Princeton Review party school list for third year in a row    Posted: 8/17/2018 4:02:27 PM  BobcatEngineer wrote: spongeBOB CATpants wrote: I went to school during the transition from quarters to semesters.

By my last year in grad school, Palmer street was cleared out by 3 or 4. My experience exactly. The famous Palmer riot where the couch got torched in the street probably had something to do with the police cracking down in the following years but the weather during the semester system is just plain awful. Granted the fests get a good turnout still, but it takes some serious dedication to stand outside in the freezing cold and drink all day and into the night. Keeps it relatively tame.

In all seriousness though it is a bummer the newer students won't get experience the glory that was spring quarter. My cousin is a freshmen this year and her OU experience will be absent the long winter break and the wonderful springs.

When we would discuss candidates to bring to hiring managers, I would sometimes hear, "He/She went to OU, that's just a party school" and they would not be sent to the hiring manager. You can say , well it's their loss, but that doesn't put food on the table of the Ohio Grad. Now OU no longer has a Human Resource Management Major. So there will be less Bobcats in HR to defend our University.

They may have hired that candidate because they were the best fit for the job. I just can't understand why people don't understand that the Party school reputation lessens the value of our degree.

The party school knock is an old time thing. With the school working hard to bring in a more diverse socio-economic student I think its helping to cut into the old party rep.

All of their scholarships are now on the basis of need, as they define it. I thought it was a big mistake then, and still think so. It might make sense for a very talented kid with high SAT scores, from a middle class background, to take a full-ride academic scholarship from a state school rather than be saddled with maybe a half-tuition scholarship at an Ivy League school. A kid from a very low socio-economic family with the same credentials would probably be wiser to go to the Ivy League school.

Beg to differ with you. As one who worked in the public schools of Ohio from 1984 till 2017, if i've heard it once I've heard it 100 times from high school juniors and seniors when asked if they were considering OU. A very common answer was "my mom and dad won't let me go there. It's a party school." On the flip side, some of the best yearbook advisers that I worked with were OU grads.

I think the parents that are gung ho about sending their kids to OU like to party themselves. The mass consumer party household where every last penny is spent on a material good. Beach week every summer and spending work bonuses on SUVs. Its the socially conservative families that are afraid of the big bad OU I'm guessing.
