Does a poor score on the drug scene mean there's no weed in town?

And once again, an article that ridicules education.

Please explain why pursuing a business education--or pursuing any kind of education--should be on par with "the most active party scenes"? When did a college education become an extension of high school? And, with the rising cost of an education, perhaps we should examine: 1) What does it cost to "entertain" students at colleges and universities, and 2) How does perceiving college as a party affect our actual education and futures?

There has to be more important issues (in terms of education and institutions of higher learning) than parties and drug scores and the all important "hot campus" poll.

Does a high drug scene score mean the drugs are great, or there are none? UT got a "C," and having grown up in Austin, I'd have to give the drug scene wasn't too shabby.

This has to be one of the vacuous HP college ranking stories ever.

And by the way, if you are headed off to a great American university, do yourself and the rest of humanity a favor by NOT MAJORING IN BUSINESS. Get a real education first. Then go off in search of that high paying job in high finance where you can apply machiavellian philosophy to destroy the world's economy and, in the process, take a lot more than your fair share.

RD,
The world (and Mc Donalds-are full of part time liberal arts majors bemoaning the fact they've learned ,well ,nothing since hs. It's a sad life.And,getting more sad.
Still, I hesitate to debate with anyone who has the skill to use higher case lettters as a way of emphasizing a point.
Remember, "You deserve a break today.'

I don't know where you live but there are no liberal arts majors working at the McDonalds where I live. Mostly immigrants.

I'll take caps over improper grammar and syntax and abbreviated "textese" any day. Ratdog100 seems to be thinking through the issue rather than offering faulty logic. The "liberal arts" is not a major. And to say that anyone who pursues a degree in the liberal arts will work at a fast food restaurant is only presenting false claims and unsubstantiated conclusions. A liberal arts education teaches one to think, read critically, analyze, write--all the skills that will allow one to succeed regardless of the professional path he/she chooses.

On campus today (somewhere in the UC system, I don't want to say exactly where) I saw a current undergrad leading a recruiting tour to about a dozen prospective undergrads (seems a little early in the year - whatever). As I walked by, the guy leading the tour asked them if any planned on becoming business majors. None answered in the affirmative - I can't tell you how happy I am about that. I don't mean to denigrate everyone with a business degree, I just think it's gotten out of hand.

yeah, I'd totally pick my graduate degree university using metrics such as "drug scene" and "greek life".

Oh wait, this is business school.

Didn't bother to click through to the article to pick up that tidbit. You'll notice Huffington Post's summary makes no mention of this being a ranking of undergraduate business programs (which are totally useless).

p.s.,

are you that insecure that you have to drop the h-bomb every time you post on this forum with your name?
