This is trash.

How can UT not be top 10 with freaking 4th, 5th and 6th streets?

Today is my first day. I am at my desk and ready to work! No lunch invites yet, but we will see. Desk is super clean, but that probably won't last! I probably will go around later and ask about some assignments, but don't want to be too pushy out of the gate.

nationalized socialism: Really? Is there another kind?

Is there private socialism?

Agreed. The fact that UT isn't even in the top half of the rankings seriously undermines the entire list. Other than ASU where the bars are practically on campus, you can't ask for much better access to alcohol than UT. Throw in the live music and tens of thousands of coeds that are better looking than the entire student body of many of the schools on this list and you have the makings of a great party.

ASU's undergrad student body is incredible...law students, not so much.

There is no quality of life at, nor is that anything "party" about Harvard. Nothing. If you think otherwise, you had a terrible college experience and I feel terribly sorry for you. Further, Boston is a wretched place for girls.

Elie, I applaud your Lebowski reference, but it makes no sense in that context. I might even say, "what in God's holy name are you blathering about?!"

Nothing better than Collegetown and Dino's!

Where else can you walk around campus with a beer in your hand and the security guards not bat an eyelash but at Tulane... plus there's always the Boot.

QUINN REMAINS shitfaced

"There's no point in going to law school if your looking for an actual job"

"YOU'RE." A contraction of YOU ARE.

"tenants of nationalized socialism"

IT'S "TENETS OF NATIONAL SOCIALISM." It would have taken you TWO SECONDS to fact-check your own quote. How is it possible that you write for a living?

UT = Sorority girls in sundresses 9 months a year. Any school above the Mason-Dixon line should automatically be moved down 10-20 spots.

Tulane prof explains how this methodology is more valid than U.S. News, which surveys the chair of the hiring committees of competing schools. ASU profs likely agree.

http://lawprofessors.typepad.com/legal_profession/2009/05/tulane-ranks-2-among-us-law-schools-in-only-rankings-done-by-student-surveys.html

Where is the University of Virgina? Is it in Intercourse, PA?

"There's no point in going to law school if your looking for an actual job . . . ."

I know this may be a shock to learn, Elie, but "your" and "you're" are not actually interchangeable.

Your = adj. of or relating to you or yourself or yourselves especially as possessor or possessors , agent or agents , or object or objects of an action

You're = you are

Subtle Berkeley trolling.

I find it quite interesting that BYU is not dead last (or at least directly above Baylor). Do board game nights, hymn sing-alongs and impromptu group proseletyzing missions count as "parties"?

BC Law got hosed in these rankings. Is drunken mutiny on the high seas during a booze cruise not enough!?

89 BYU

Ok... I'm calling shenanigans.

There's no way that BYU is more of a party school than the University of Houston (98). Hell there's no way BYU is more of a party school thatn the University of Utah (93) (40 miles north of "the Y")

Girls in sundresses at UT = 3500 sq ft wives in tents resting during the hottest part of the day

Animal Planet

The best part about the rankings is that when the distingushed tax prof blog decided to report on them and describe the methodology, it used the word "douchebagginess," probably a word that does not appear that often in law professor blogs.

"Tenets." Not "tenants," "tenets." That error is an affront to two groups: Big Lebowski fans and competent lawyers.

Elie,

Other commenters have already pointed out YOUR mistakes in this post. But one of the basic TENETS of journalism is to write with proper grammar. But apparently, YOU'RE too stupid or lazy to bother. Which is it? Stupid or Lazy? Both?

Ok, the most glaring proof that this survey is fundamentally flawed is that BYU (89) is ranked higher than Utah (93). Really? BYU--recently called the most competitive school in the country and garnering a "0" on the alcohol access portion--is better for partying than its jack-mormon big brother up north? I call BS. Try again. Or, as some of you commentors love to say, EPIC FAIL.

Why isn't there anything on here about Akin Gump getting hit ith a $72 Million dollar liability?

Good bye Texas...

Elie...what's going on?

TOTALLY agree that BLS SHOULD be in the bottom five. When I visited that place it just felt sterile and scary. Filled with upper middle class kids that have gone crazy after realizing that they only have a few years left on their parents dime.

It's shocking that Elie went to Harvard and yet can actually confuse the word "tenant" with "tenet".

Though, maybe National Socialism is a housing management corp. that I just don't know about.

These are either online programs or made up.

Seattle University?

I wouldn't trust any survey that has Harvard, Berkeley, and Michigan in the top 10. Not to mention Georgia State University at number 17. GSU is an urban campus and the law school has a huge part-time program catering to working professionals. If you consider no major sports program, no undergrad bars, and 35-year-old classmates the essentials to a party school, then maybe this guide is on to something.

The REAL top-10 party schools according to Playboy:

1) University of Miami
2) University of Texas
3) San Diego State University
4) University of Florida
5) University of Arizona
6) University of Wisconsin
7) University of Georgia
8) Louisiana State University
9) University of Iowa
10) West Virginia University

It is when Elie openly shows his sense of elitism that I realize he probably didn't deserve his HLS degree.

"Can you come up with one other list that would show Alabama and Harvard tied for something? Anything?"

Elie, if you are going to have an elitist attitude, at least walk the walk.

Elie, your constant Harvard pride make people vomit hard.

Has it occurred to anyone that the "fun" reported by Harvard students isn't quite at the same level as Alabama? Or even Brooklyn? My guess is there are a whole lot of Harvard kids who think enjoying a beer halfway through their administrative law study group is CRAZY and ranked that kind of "party" highly.

(Sorry if this is repeating sentiments, haven't read other comments.)

I like the way you added the logos of the bottom five schools, but I was curious about Brooklyn's. Do they really just have a "B" for their logo, or is that their grading curve?

I find it hard to believe that Seton Hall deserves to be one of the bottom five party law schools. Granted, Newark sucks, but everyone lives in Hoboken, which is a quick PATH ride away, and an EPIC party town. There have to be more than 3 worse party schools.

"Elie, if you are going to have an elitist attitude, at least walk the walk."

Better still, Elie, if you are going to have an elitist attitude, at least learn how to write English above a fourth grade level.

I call bullshit for everything but the top 5. I'm sure this agency will do a list of top hottest female student bodies next, and it will come out:

1.) dook
2.) Bulldike U.
3.) ...

Alcohol is the devil's handiwork.

BYU kids > Utah kids

UT Law is miserable and feels nothing like the undergrad.

Geez, Brooklyn tanked in these rankings, they tried to manipulate the U.S. News rankings, pretty soon they are just going to be issuing their own Cooley-style rankings.

36 and 37:

Surely, Elie was accepted at Harvard purely on merit. I can't think of any other reason that he might have been accepted other than outstanding LSAT scores and undergraduate work. There definitely aren't any other factors or immutable qualities that would have helped him. No, there's no chance that the circumstances of his birth helped him get into Harvard Law when he clearly displays zero grasp of English grammar and style. I can't imagine what single factor, unrelated to intelligence or work ethic, could have helped the strength of Elie's law school applications.

Duke is #30? That's objective proof, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the entire list is BS.

Elie, it's where the FUN goes to die, not FUND. Argh.

Michigan Law is a non-stop party. Totally underrated here.

38 is wrong

Wow, students in Chicago (the whole city, not just the school) seem to be VERY unhappy.

NW rank: 69
Chicago rank:
Kent: 92
DePaul: 101
Loyola: 86
Chicago: 89

All in the bottom half. How can such a fun city have such BORING schools?

Two mistakes in your Lebowski quote:

1)As many commenters have already noted, it's TENETS, not TENANTS.

2)It's NATIONAL socialism, not "nationalized" socialism. National socialism is also known as Nazism. "Nationalized socialism" is meaningless.

Hey #9:

Sorry to inform you that your (soon to be former) SA firm tracks IP addresses and frowns upon posting to this blog. Pack your things, buddy, and please drop off your free messenger bag on the way out.

Did any of you idiots even read the quoted statement? These rankings included factors like happiness and dateability.

These rankings actually make a ton of sense once you consider the methodology.

BYU might be void of parties, but I bet they are pretty gosh darn happy.

This post is crap. Cleary they did not speek with actual students. ASU does have the hottest chicks on the planet but past that this survey sucks.

Only reason Harvard is in the top 10: Even in this economy, an HLS grad can shit on the hiring partner's desk at 90% of law firms and still get hired. With that security, why not get drunk every night?

I'm unclear on the methodology -- do they ask the faculty to rank the students on date-ability, or are the students ranking the faculty?

38 - who at HLS is in a study group, other than 1Ls? or are you assuming students at HLS are way more competitive than they actually are? no one at HLS has to try THAT hard, because they're going to be HLS grads. more time to get drunk. it sucks a lot more to be at a school where only the top 10 or 5 or 1% get good jobs, those people have to study more and have less free time to get drunk.

38, Bingo!

It would be hard to parse, but some schools that have high enrollments of overachievers probably rank higher on this list b/c those students think that an inclusive bar review and a Saturday night pot luck are major fun.

Some schools with high enrollments of underachievers probably rank lower on this list b/c the students feel that 3 nights out per week plus the weekend ragers is nose to the grindstone.

35 - note that the ohio state university is not on that list, because playboy considered it unfair to rank a professional on a list of amateurs.

How is W&L not on this list? The law school pays for an entire MONTH of partying EVERY NIGHT for "Feb Club."

Hook 'em Horns!

University of Houston Law Center certainly is "where the party goes to die." It's full of bitter students who all feel they were equally qualified to make it at UT and do nothing but study, and part-timer students who are working stiffs with families.

Widener chicks are hotter than UPenn State chicks.

gulc edges gw again...damn it.

Even after viewing the methodology of these rankings it is still hard to see how BYU did not come out as dead last (and by a long shot). Everyone that goes to BYU knows that there are 0 bars within 1 mile of campus and 0 liquor stores. So they get a 0 for the Alcohol Access. They also get a 0 for the General Alcohol/Drug Consumption Questions. Regarding the "Dateable" Questions, is anyone at BYU Law NOT married? I guess some married guys have some secret crushes eh? Score another close to 0 there BYU folks. Granted undergrads probably "go out" (if, as someone noted, boardgames and FHE count), but married law students? HECK no. However, there was a survey a bit back about how Utah is the "happiest" state in the US, so I guess you could see that one coming. But is that enough to boost them out of last place? I question the peeps that returned surveys from BYU. They must be living in fantasy land.

One of my best friends graduated last year from HLS.... they do not party hard.

VROOM VROOM Party-starter

Is everyone in Texas this miserable? No wonder they are all humongous and smell of stale BBQ.

I was at a Harvard Law party once and watch as two Harvard kids holding up a 3rd doing a keg stand promptly dropped him half way through and he chipped his tooth. Cambridge fucking Queers.

BC3L

Harvard has high quality of life? Not unless you enjoy wading through 6 inches of icy slush for 9 months a year (neatly overlapping with the 9 you are there each year) and dealing with more frizzy-haired neurotic women than a French domestic abuse counselor. It may also not help matters that to deal with the climate Cambridge women develop extra layers of blubber like walruses. Some of their full body parkas can be brightly colored, however.

54: BYU law students and "dateability"--what a joke. 80% + are married. I was, and certainly never would consider married classmates "dateable." BYU Law is a miserable place. Students are not only uptight about school and try to out-gun each other in class (much more than most schools), but they also try to out-Mormon each other to become "Mormon royalty." It is a miserable place--even for a lot of Mormons.

Again, it is the most competitive school in the country. How is that fun in any way?

Yale is 12? I call BS on the whole thing.

When I went to Tulane, we always partied at Redass Lobster.

In 2006, Alabama and Harvard each had one USA Today First Team All-American... wear it!

In 2006, Alabama and Harvard each had one USA Today First Team All-American... wear it!

I seriously question any ranking of party schools that does not put BYU as last.

Let me rephrase... in 2006, Alabama and Harvard each had one USA Today First Team Academic All-American... wear it!

I pounded a BYU chick in the ass last year and used green jello for lube. Good times.

You know there is such a thing as being serious about law school and still not being a gunner. I went to law school to get a better job. I don't care about much of anything at the school as long as I accomplish that. And there are a million things to do other than go drinking that make people happy. For those of you in big cities, there are things called mountains, forests, etc where you can have fun with dirt bikes, nature, etc.

This just perpetuates the law school stereotype of entitled drunkards who don't know enough to do anything else.

I have some co-workers that went to Harvard Law together, and they are constantly going on about the AMAZING parties that they had and all the CRAZY shit that they have done. It was not until I found that they were starting to tell stories about AMAZING CRAZY parties at which I was present and which were really pretty standard and/or boring parties that I realized that these guys really have an inflated impression of the craziness of their "partying."

I go to law school in Manhattan and I've seen my friends at Brooklyn Law party here a few times. They definitely like to party and the girls are definitely a good-looking bunch. These rankings are BUNK.

How could you leave out Georgetown? Jesus, drink, drive. ski all night show up to class sometimes. Georgetown clubs were sick and thick with willing women. I partied four nights a week, of course now I have to pay off huge student loans that went up my nose and down my throat. Wasn't too smart. But who know the economy would do a kamikaze? Now I can barely pay my bills, and drink cheap rotgut to get through the nights. Party schools? The problem with parties, is after they're over someone has to clean up and pay for the mess. It's going to take me years to do that, and honestly I wish I hadn't partied and wasted my life and money that way.

Spectacular analysis 68. You'll go far in this profession.

Brooklyn Law School was the least fun place ever. It's ranked way too high. There's a dour air of musty disinterest that starts at the top and filters all the way down to the cracks in the foundation. It's that bad.

The whole list's credibility is undermined because UVA is not first.

Have you ever seen Baylor? Just stepping foot in that God-forsaken town would lead someone into severe depression. I have no doubt that Baylor is by far the least happy student body in the top 100. What I really want to see is this survey done for all law schools. I bet those open-enrollment people are super unhappy right now knowing they have no shot at employment! But I would also venture to guess Ole Miss parties more than anyone. I think the only thing you need to know there is how to write your full name. Other than that, I think its beer and undergrad women.

Columbia ahead of NYU in the quality of life category???? Not a chance in hell. Apparently "Harlem" is a much better place than then Village. Go figure.

17 is very right. Harvard must be quite the party school, huh Elie? They sure as hell didn't teach you anything.

Watch out 90 - you'll get pummeled on this site for calling the area up by Columbia "Harlem."

Great rankings. Next up: tallest midgets, followed by best Division III athletic programs

Popped collars and mint juleps = all kinds of win

Suck on my madras prestige, bitches!

Obv. Baylor is the lowest, although a previous commenter's suggestion about BYU is right on. I think Baylor is probably worse, though. From what I hear BYU's law school isn't as strict as BYU's undergrad, but Baylor's law school is...

"gosh darn happy"

54 = mormon.

Happy that Ga State is the Happiest! :-)

http://subtledig.com/rankings/specialty-rankings/life-is-good/

the girls at boalt look like the guy at harvard.

35 = Disgruntled Emory student

So BC is ranked above BU again, eh? Someone send this list to Morse stat!

It's not surprising that Harvard is within the top 10. With all the students' sense of entitlement and belief that the streets are paved of gold simply because they have Harvard on their resume, it is no wonder that they will coast through three years and let the institution's reputation, rather than their own abilities and work ethic, take them where they want to go.

10-

You're a moron. It's a movie quote.

I would rather pound a BYU midget in the ass than step foot in Texas.

FSU--best looking undergrad girls in the country, cheap booze, and the law students are still getting jobs in this economy in a state with amazing beaches and no snow. Suck it.

people at HLS only think that Harvard is a party school because the most fun they had at their ivy league colleges was the co-ed wine cooler mixer for their a capella club. compared to doing the elephant walk with rockefeller's great grandson for scroll and key initiation, i guess bar review is a pretty sweet party, bro.

Wisconsin below Yale in a party ranking? Really?

It has to be that UW students were too drunk and lazy to respond.

I go to Baltimore and we have a pretty good time here.

103- That's just because the midgets at BYU are some of the finest pieces of ass I have ever seen.

University of Arizona does have the bar named "Dirtbags" across the street...

must say I enjoyed my three years. Too bad it didn't translate to partying at Biglaw.

Screw you U of A Career Services Office.

Am I racist if I go to UT and wear a Confederate flag bandanna?

either this survey is flawed or law school sucks worse that i had imagined.

HLS2L

While the methodology is nonsense, this entire enterprise was doomed from the start.

First off, you only ranked the top tier of law schools, which is utter horse poop. At TTT law schools (many of which are at real undergrad party schools), where academics are honestly optional (and where you get the vast majority of people who were not "dorks" in college) the law schools just party right alongside the undergrads. At all the T1 law schools the students barely ever SEE an undergrad, let alone see them naked.

Let me promise you, not a single one of those well-dressed T14 kids I went to law school with could have handled so much as 10 minutes at a "real" party at one of those undergrad spots.

On ATL a story about some 1L girl getting her dress pulled down in public was a major headline. At my undegrad you did not call it a "party" unless at least 5 girls had gotten completely naked by 2am.

This list is fail. Elie you useless slob, most firms started their Summer Associates today, so as of tomorrow you had better have ALL KINDS of summer program stories running.

As a Harvard 2L, I just don't buy that we're anywhere near the top 10.

For law school quality of life, you would need a combination of (A) non-competition among students, and (B) the reassurance of having a job after graduation despite mediocre grades.

The best schools in this regard are probable Yale, Stanford, Berkeley, and maybe UVA. Most of hte T14, particularly Harvard, Chicago, NYU, and Columbia, are too competitive. And schools that aren't in the top 20 have to actually work to get a job.

Another reason the NJ law schools are terrible

How the fuck is U Conn not on the top 10 party school list? Truffles!

To 63:

W & L does not pay for an entire month of Feb Club partying. They merely subsidize it, and it's not a month of partying every night like they want you to believe. That is a rumor started by kids who probably didn't even go to Feb Club parties because they were too busy studying their asses off so they could transfer to Virginia.

As a wash U 1L, I can assure you, we do not belong in the top 50 of anything with the word "party" in it.

Many an ass has been pounded at SMU.

How could U of Chicago not be at the top of "fun goes to die?"

Similarly, where are UT and Wisconsin in the party rankings? Both are surrounded by more alcohol than even the tens of thousands of undergrads can drink.

THE MIAMI HURRICANES

THE U

idiots

I can attest to 119s comment. As I have had the luxury of being one of the pounded.

85 "Georgetown clubs were sick"

Georgetown does not have clubs. It has bars. For respectable people.

You were probably thinking of the trashy clubs you went to, like "Club Fur," which is about 3 blocks from GULC.

GULC is also two blocks from the Amtrak and Greyhound stations and the crime-ridden blight known as NE DC. So it's got that going for it. Which is nice.

W&L>UVA>UT

Go Blue!

Everyone at Baylor carries around high powered rifles.

Pepperdine, bitches!

HLS is a top party law school by virtue of its location: Cambridge and Boston are home to many great bars. But I thought HLS 2Ls and 3Ls still gun for grades for fear of graduating "sine laude"? We notice these things, you know. Now, go back to studying!

The best party schools are large state schools in warm weather with major sports programs. Anything else is pure BS.

I am pounding a SMU in the ass right now.

Ding Ding 129 for the win

not that i care too much, but as a bls student, i can't really complain about this category.. throughout the semester, one organization or another is always hosting or organizing bar crawls / open bars / drink specials..

Any list that places Michigan as the top partying BIg Ten school (law or otherwise) is a COMPLETE SHAM. Wisconsin, Penn State, and Ohio State by a handle!!!

I thought Princeton was a pretty good party law school?

Does North Dakota have a law school?

133, Penn is ivy, not Big Ten (but I agree that it's a better party school than Michigan).

Meat Chicken is about as much fun - and looks as good - as Pyongyang. Ugly as hell campus and both the undergrads and law students are pissed off they didn't get into an Ivy.

Ohio State or Wisconsin in the Big 10, no dispute. Probably Wisconsin overall for the Halloween carnival.

In Canada we drink Canadian beer with its higher alcohol content.

Therefore in my mind (and consequently what should be in your mind) Western is #1, followed by Windsor, CC gives Arizona State #3 and then Laval (because it’s not a real school), the remaining Canadian schools can be slotted in right between Seattle and Tulane.

Bay Street is Awesome!

136: You are an idiot.

140, why? Do you think Michigan is actually a better party school than Penn? How could you think that?
--136

Elie,

You are a fat, lazy fuck who should stop writing immediately.

YOU ARE ALL IDIOTS

Locke Lord Prestige with a side order of SMU glamor

The ranking of ASU is bad. The undergrad school is well known as a party school, full of hot chicks. The law school isn't a party school and the chicks aren't all that hot (though I guess the fact that it's so close to the undergrad portion makes up for that).

139,
At UVA we drank Bourbon and Scotch, alcohol content is such a Canadian thing to worry about. Reminds me of High School when we drank Molson Ice and thought we were badasses b/c it had such a "higher alcohol content." No wonder Canucks never make it at American Law schools...complete indolants.

-But thank you guys for Nickelback..they rock! (douchebag)

Can you come up with one other list that would show Alabama and Harvard tied for something? Anything?

How about - best alternative to Magenta for school color?

BYU is the least partying law school in the country.

Undergrad student body is very relevant to this discussion. Any party-wise law student knows to stay far away from they're fellow classmates if they want to have a good time. There's only so long that's its acceptable to hang out with 19-22 yr olds, and as long as your a student, I say go for it...

Bottom line is that any school in the SEC needs to move up in these rankings. We have the prettiest girls, the best party atmosphere, and unlimited access to booze. Any party at one of these schools would blow away any party in Seattle, Harvard, or Berkley. It it is a joke that those schools are ranked in the top 10.

61 - OSU isn't on the list b/c it can't hang with Wisconsin and Iowa! Playboy actually did say one year that it wasn't ranking Georgia because it wouldn't be fair to list professionals with amateurs. That year a frat from UGA was the first non-playmate on the front cover.

46 - Inappropriate. Seriously, what is with all the Elie hate? Move on.

Arizona State? Really. Come on, what a cliche. People have been saying ASU is a party school for years. Let me tell you, its no big deal. . .

141--no sir you are the idiot. The guy wasn't saying Penn was a better party school than Michigan he was saying Penn State. Penn State is Big Ten (actually it is the 11). In no way in his post did he reference Penn.

You sir are a failure of a human being.

God I hate the commenters on this website

Chicago students are so miserable because the winters are so bad. . . .I want to slit my wrists every day November through about 4 days ago, but when summer comes Chicago does it better than any other city out there

Hey 144; 12 Called and said "Thank you for ripping me off."

P.S. Not 12

This was done with 90% surveys.

This explains how Harvard got up so high, and how Columbia is above NYU, and how Miami is ranked so low.

I mean, c'mon. I've been to Seattle University. Sure, it's Catholic, so that's a plus on the alcohol-consumption, but it in no way deserves to be ranked ahead of any college town law school, or any law school in NY, LA, Miami, etc.

Grambling is off the hook.

Fo sheezy

153, yes, he did reference Penn -- he specifically said "Wisconsin, Penn State, and Ohio State." "Penn State" is a perfectly common short-hand reference to the University of Pennsylvania (though not as short as the admittedly more common "Penn"). Maybe you should read the comments on this site a little more closely before you profess to "hate the commenters."
--141 & 136

158, no it's not. Penn State is not a perfectly common short-hand reference to Penn, at least not anywhere outside of Philadelphia and the rest of the country. Stop trying so hard.

Let's also use a little bit of statutory construction here by looking at the other things he lists. Ohio State and Wisconsin are Big Ten schools an based on the premise of Ejusdem generis it would follow that the Penn State he was referring to was the Penn State in Happy Valley.

Again I will reiterate my hatred for commenters on this site and 158 I hate you most of all.

BYU should be ranked lower than it is. But still I would rather be stone cold sober in Provo Utah than WacoTexas. At least there's skiing in Utah. And doesn't Baylor prohibit dancing? (Not that law students are much into that.)

159-60-

158 (and others) are having fun with you. It's a recurring joke on this website to deliberately confuse U. Penn. and Penn State, and for some reason the commentators are particularly delighted whenever anyone takes the mistake seriously and tries to correct it.

If you have time to take a twenty question survey on partying, you definitely aren't partying that hard. This survey and Elie's grammar = fail.

146. I guess you've come the closest. I thought I was pretty obviously inviting people to make crimson jokes, but that really didn't happen. Maybe Harvard and Alabama students are both too busy studying to notice their schools' similar colors?
--Elie

Anyone who thinks that Harvard is comeptitive or that most people here give a shit about graduating cum laude is a just a jealous fool who doesnt go here and probably didnt get it.

PARTY SCHOOL to the max

There is NO way Harvard has more fun than Emory.

Emory has the best social-life in the top-20.

I'm with the rest of you - where is WI?

All I heard about from Orientation on is where people drink, when the law school provides free beer, etc. Even the profs joke about the inability to hold friday classes at any hour...

118, you're a fool. i don't understand how we're not higher. how many schools give their students beer every friday?

I would give my left testicle to be a law professor at Florida State. Do you know how many undegrads (and the occasional hot law student) I would bang?

Maybe it was to get our minds off the nuked out wasteland that is Camden, but Rutgers subsidized our drinking. We got vouchers for free drinks at the local bar in our orientation package and school funded bar crawls in Philadelphia. My 1L year we had a ConLaw kegger. In the classroom. Having said that, the place still sucked.

Oh, and #110: the answer is yes. Yes, you are.

Roll Tide!
As mentioned by others, Alabama consistently has more USA Today All Americans than Harvard. It's one of Alabama's biggest promotional tools to snag top students.
