ORUIsbig Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Looks like Univeristy of North Dakota makes top 25 party schools list at # 18. I would have never guessed a school in the frozen tundra would make the list with the likes of Texas, Florida St, Florida. Top 25 Party Schools Is that a plus or minus for us having them come to the Summit League? This list is another reason i am thankful for ORU's Honor Code.

ORUTerry Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 List of 'most religious' college students of 2009. Link Not sure how this list was compiled.... Wheaton, Baylor and Pepperdine? Really? Where are ORU and Liberty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmh8286 Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Isbig - the link was messed and didn't work, so I fixed it. Let me know if you intended something different than what I did with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManiacAlum Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 The sad part is I think you have to be on Princeton Review's "Best 371 Colleges" list FIRST to be considered Most Religious or Best Party School.... I'm pretty sure ORU didn't qualify as one of the 371. At the risk of sounding like a super sinner, now that we have been given a fresh start at ORU, I hope we're putting a lot of focus on making our good academics even better... I think we've put on a good enough show with the 'dress code', 'honor code', curfew, fines, etc. over the last 40 years. All those things just seem to make good fodder to ridicule ORU, I say just do away with all of it... And, LSU doesn't make the party list?? Really? Maybe the Princeton board didn't see all of the idiots on camera during the CWS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUTerry Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 These 'lists' should be taken with a large dose of salt. ORU puts out a better product than the 'experts' will give them credit for. I see top graduates from the regional schools in the bank's training programyear after year and for a sizeable part - I am not that impressed. Oral had it right about educating the whole man. Most of the graduates I see are two dimensional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammersmith Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 The overall rankings are mainly based on a survey that is filled out voluntarily by each institution. Many universities make their survey open to the public, but ORU doesn't seem to have theirs online. For reference, here is NDSU's from last year: Common Data Set 2008-2009 To find the same info from other universities, go to their home page and search for "Common Data Set". It will often be found in their Institutional Research department. The "humorous" awards like best party school are the result of surveys filled out by students with questions like, "How many hours do you study each week?" or "How many drinks do you have each week?" I would assume that the "most religious" schools are ranked by questions like, "How often do you attend church? or "How many hours per week do you spend doing religious activities?" I don't believe that students are surveyed every year, so a school might still be on the list several years after its first appearance solely on the basis of one year of data.

I think UND was also near the top of students that don't study as well. It is true, UND is a huge party school. Not much to do up in GF, especially in the winter. Many of my cousins went to school up there, I'll just say not a lot of studying occurred up there, one cousin actually transferred to NDSU because she didn't like the party first, study later, vibe.

I doubt that the conference brass will be spending a lot of time looking at such lists before deciding whether to invite UND in. They seem to be much more concerned with pleasing the PC crowd .
