Not to be outdone by GQ’s list of scumbag schools, BuzzFeed released their own list today.
10. University of Michigan
Not only do Wolverines have “an inflated sense of their own intelligence” (Buzzfeed’s words, not mine), but try as they might, they also lose at sports a lot.
9. UC Berkeley
Smart hippies!
8. University of Southern California
Also known as the University of Spoiled Children. Insert Trojans joke here.
7. Penn State
Because being one of the country’s foremost party schools has to count for something.
6. Notre Dame
To quote Buzzfeed here: “The douchebaggery of moral high horsery (just go with me) is afoot. ND finished 132 out of 141 in School-wide Sexual Health. Maybe you guys should stop pretending like condoms on a college campus are a bad idea.”
5. Arizona State
30 Rock put it best: only a parent tell their child they’re smart “even when they go to Arizona State”.
4. Ohio State
Yeah, they really like their sports here. And violating the NCAA regulations. (Psst, I still haven’t forgotten the Fiesta Bowl. Miami fans know what I’m talking about.)
3. Duke
They’re not pretentious or anything.
2. Harvard
Was it just me, or was The Social Network all about privileged nerds scheming against each other?
1. NYU
I googled “NYU hipster” and this was the first image that came up. Enough said.
Do you Lovelies agree or disagree with this list? Any personal experiences to share?

NYU OMG. I’m crying, this whole thing is so accurate.
daisy / 501 posts
This list is much more accurate.
guest
Uhhh… I’m pretty sure ASU got the top party school in the nation.

1 and 2, YES

@Jessica - So agree.
guest
lmao at NYU right now. COMPLETELY TRUE!!
orchid / 118 posts
The girls I know from U of M are all really smart, funny people. Bleh. I’m not liking these generalizations.
guest
Ugh Duke. Nothing like living in NC and dealing with Duke fans. I could only imagine the students lol.
guest
lmfao at Berkeley. Yeah…they do seem to think they’re better than everyone else. And USC is totally for the rich kids.
orchid / 242 posts
Hey now, NYU kids aren’t COMPLETE douches, unlike let’s say, Columbia or something >_>
guest
lol every student thinks their college is the best!

I really think James Madison University should have made this list. There are, essentially, only two people who attend school there. The macho-super-frat dude and the super feminine bleached blonde-this-ponytail-atop-my-head-looks-like-it-only-took-five-minutes-to-create-but-i-actually-spent-all-morning-perfecting-it chick. Needless to say, I’m never going to be a JMU chick.

I am SUPER impressed with Ohio State’s marching in that picture. Their formation looks flawless!!
(sorry, it’s the inner band geek in me ^___^ )
guest
I thought Penn State was the second biggest party school? Eh, no matter. It’s still accurate lol
guest
@pick_my_friggin_nose@xanga - That is a really awesome picture… I used to only go to high school football games for the band. No interest in football whatsoever lolll
guest
I would love to see Texas Tech on that list somewhere. It’s the worst kind of douchey school.
orchid / 126 posts
NYU’s picture is kinda hilarious!
guest
LOL my friends goes to Harvard and Berkeley… sigh. I have to say all of this is new to me :S Don’t know much about universities in the states.
guest
the yelling leprechaun looks funny:D I’d hang out with him. the guy wearing the white shirt texting is borrrrrrrring-_- the painted shirts on the USC guys look very douchey. the guy painted blue & yellow on the left side of the pic with one leg up has nice broad shoulders, toned arms and is hot
orchid / 173 posts
Haha I’m not a hater but I have to agree. I’m from CA and Berkeley, USC, and ASU were pretty accurate.
dahlia / 2747 posts
T____________T I GO TO NYU. but yeah, there are a lot of hipsters, but they’re wayy tooo rich to dress like that. lol.

Lmao

NO! Duke is supposed to be AT LEAST second, and only because no one wants them to be first in anything. Just ask GQ!
(I’m a UNC girl…GO HEELS!)
guest
phew glad Wisconsin didn’t make the list. Go Badgers!
daffodil / 1615 posts
@ohveryoung@xanga - Hahah yes. I know a few girls who go to JMU and they are the snobbiest bitches ever. And they’re in sororities, so it’s even worse.
daisy / 617 posts
@ask_ashleyyy@xanga - Hahahaah, right? I grew up not even fifteen minutes away from the college. In fact, I work in Harrisonburg. Let’s just say that us locals have a field day when school is out. Otherwise, good luck getting anywhere. Two words: Block Party. Last year, the cops called in swat teams and shit. Those kids got so out of hand, they were tasering them and tear-gassing them and stuff. It was intense, man. That’s why I’ll be happy at my all girls school, Mary Baldwin. More lesbians, less insane people who want to get wasted all the time.
daffodil / 1615 posts
@ohveryoung@xanga - Hahahha I’m like 15 minutes away from University of Maryland and know a bunch of people there, so I’m in the area fairly often and while things can get out of hand (especially when we beat Duke in basketball) it’s not usually god-awful.
guest
As someone who lives in Durham, NC (Where Duke is) they’re DEFINITELY douches. Haha.
guest
lameee
guest
YES. U of M is filled with the kids who think they’re hot shit, but weren’t quite smart enough to go to a better college. Also, I don’t think they all realize they get in because their parents went there…
guest
I honestly thought I’d be seeing Boise State somewhere on this list.
guest
LOL of course my school ASU would be on that list. I just stay away from parties. Not that bad though.
guest
this makes me not want to go to college.. seems like people pay to go there to party not get their education..
daisy / 696 posts
Should have figured my Alma Mater was gonna be this list.
guest
Dont hate on Berkeley!!!!!!!!!!! or Harvard or USC!!!!
guest
How the fuck is the University of Florida not on here?!
Edited: other list was better. Though they needed to be 1.
guest
HA, love it.
sunflower / 316 posts
@ohveryoung@xanga - @ask_ashleyyy@xanga - Oh god I love you guys. I go to JMU (suprise, I’m not a blonde and I don’t own a north face) and I TOTALLY agree with what you are both saying. My roommate and I say these things all the time!! I do love JMU as a school, however it’s difficult to see past the “clones” as we call them on campus. As locals though, try to remember that not all JMU are heartless bitches. The behavior of the stereotypical JMU student really pisses off some of us who also pay tuition there… and we complain about it frequently. In fact last year we didn’t even attend block party but I still had to receive 16 stitches in my head and go through a concussion without a drop of nasty beer in my bloodstream… from some idiots who were out partying with the SWAT team, so please remember we are not ALL spiteful bitches.
daisy / 617 posts
@Jinnex@xanga - Lol, I know that you aren’t all like that. One of my best friends goes to JMU, and she’s about the farthest thing from a JMU chick. I’m just glad to know that more normal people exist on the campus of JMU. I’m sorry that the rest of those people give your school a bad name. I know that must be frustrating. But I also think it’s awesome that you give your school a good name just by being you. And that sucks about your stitches. I’m sorry about that :/ Stupid partying kids xD

It hurts to see Michigan appear on a list that it doesn’t belong on. And even though “inflated sense of their own intelligence” is something that Buzzfeed said, it still makes me mad to see it here. I do appreciate the “Buzzfeed’s words, not mine” line to clarify that it’s the Buzzfeed author saying that.
Oh jeez, talk about bias! The original Buzzfeed author is a “die hard Ohio State fan”, so of course they would try and say that about Michigan. People can make fun of our football program all they want, but in the end, Michigan is a fantastic school. Not many colleges can offer both a huge college football program and a great education.
If it isn’t clear, I went to Michigan and graduated with a BSE in Computer Science Engineering. GO BLUE!
rose / 903 posts
I totally agree with this one more. So glad they put Duke on there… I’ve been dealing with those pricks my whole life..
And I have to agree with the Michigan placement… I went to App State when we beat them at football
rose / 903 posts
@emotastic7@xanga - Definitely agree, neighbor.
UNC too, right? right? haha
guest
@KickDrumHeart@datingish - ask my basketball- it’s signed by Roy Williams
rose / 903 posts
@emotastic7@xanga - Ah, crap.
guest
Did you come up with this list or are you reposting it? Just curious, it seems you’re listing it at Buzzfeed but it’s your own opinion.
magnolia / 1028 posts
@ohforrealson@xanga - WHOOP WHOOP! lol. Thank you for appreciating the marching band. I hate that marching band gets such little respect.
guest
Don’t normally like to generalize but these all seem pretty reasonable. I would have added Ole’ Miss to the list of schools but that’s just my personal bias.
guest
Really surprised that the University of Tennessee (UTK) was not on this list.
guest
As a Berkeley student, I must protest.
hahah XD
daisy / 505 posts
HAHAHAHA THE NYU HIPSTER! Only because it reminds me so much of the Emerson College hipster – and I know Emerson would’ve been number one if the person who made this list visited it for about a day. This list trumps the other! Hipsters are bigger douches than bros!
daisy / 505 posts
Also my brother and sister used to go to Ohio to play in the Fiesta Bowl with the high school band haha.
sunflower / 413 posts
@torturetoy@xanga - Penn State did also. They pick a new one every year.
guest
@Nissyrhymeswith_sissy@xanga – God. I know, right? I have a friend of mine that graduated from Duke div. He has this massive ego about it. It’s quite absurd.
guest
both the schools I want to go to are up here. hahaha
guest
@saruhhbearxo@xanga - I don’t think mine is the best. I loved my undergraduate school, but my graduate school has been TERRIBLE (it’s on the list, by the way).
guest
I don’t know if can count Harvard as a “douchey” school based off of a facebook movie haha. But I’m pretty any large college falls under the douchey list because then there’s just a huge amount of college kids… and college kids tend to be douchebags. For some reason they feel the need to get wasted on a constant basis just because they’re in college. I don’t understand.
rose / 853 posts
Hey, no hate! I’m sure this didn’t mean that every single student in these schools was douchey. Just overall lol. Every generalization has some truth to it at some point.
guest
I can’t agree with you anymore, especially about friggin’ Berkeley.
guest
the picture for ASU basically shows EVERYTHING asu stands for.
guest
@pick_my_friggin_nose@xanga - Best Damn Band In The Land!
…oh sorry. I think I just proved that OSU is douchey. =D
guest
NYU kids are pretty muchdeserving of that #1 spot…I met a few people there who were originally from CA and they seemed nice but Ny-er NYU=ers make me want to strangle kittens with a bear’s chest hair, as for anyone who’s seen that video of the protest they did in the building a few years back vs tuition
I hated my school but got to run into a lotta Ivy Leaguers and can’t tell what’s worse, the pretentious haughty ones on the high end (“that’s right we got into Harvard and you didn’t”) or the pretentious, haughty ones on the low end (“pfft, who needs Harvard you pricks, Penn is awesome-er!”). I’ve heard Yale alums pass each other in NYC yelling “oh a fellow Yalie?” Also there’s this dating league they have now called IvyPlus which is a glorified singles mixer where only Ivy Leaguers and a few other schools (MIT, Stanford) can attend (the plus). They featured it in a NYT article where a Princeton-er was mad that some chick got into the party, saying “She’s not even a plus!”
guest
the NYU was perfectly matched hahaa
