Actually I am on my way out of town to decompress at the hunting shack and scout for Canadian Honkers, the season opens next weekend for North Dakota early goose season, really I am. Yeah the geese will be out with their sunglasses sitting in the ponds sunning themselves as hunters try sneaking up on them or will be laying in the decoys when it is 70-90 degrees or not.
Okay! I may consume one or two beers by the fire pit both nights. Donna from Running with the Dogs sent me this link. Apparently not only is UND a great party school, their students don't spend much time in the classroom either. That being said it's a pretty impressive list, UND is on par some of the cooler schools in SEC.
1. West Virginia University (Morgantown, W.Va.)
2. University of Maryland -- College Park
3. State University of New York -- University at Albany
4. University of Mississippi (University, Miss.) aka, "Ole Miss"
5. University of North Dakota (Grand Forks, N.D.)
"Size and affordability are very nice draws" at the University of North Dakota. The number of undergrads here is ideal, and UND offers "the best bang for the buck anywhere." Student activities at UND run the gamut. There are more than 200 clubs and organizations. The student recreation center is enormous and state of the art. Intramural sports are quite popular, and many students are "huge supporters of the Fighting Sioux," the intercollegiate athletic teams. Specifically, "hockey is king here." The team is formidable year in and year out, and it has won several national championships. Home games in the "breathtaking" arena are well attended and "extremely fun." Students describe the overall academic experience at UND as "pretty good" "and not too stressful." Students report the fraternities and sororities loom large in the social scheme of things. Beginning on Friday (or maybe Thursday), "everybody is on a quest to entertain themselves."
Students who considered University of North Dakota also looked at Concordia College, Minot State University, Saint Cloud State University, University of Minnesota -- Crookston, and University of Minnesota -- Duluth.
6. Louisiana State University (Baton Rouge, La.)
7. Florida State University (Tallahassee, Fla.)
8. University of Florida (Gainesville, Fla.)
9. Florida Southern College (Lakeland, Fla.)
10. University of Georgia (Athens, Ga.)
