The college students of North Carolina have some work to do.
A new ranking from Princeton Review, and not a single North Carolina school on it.
Sheesh. In what has to be a blow to school pride across the Tar Heel state, the Princeton Review hasn't deemed any of our universities crazy enough to rate a slot on its top-20 list...of party schools.
Penn State tops the list. Even the University of North Dakota slips in at number 18.
Florida State is the sole ACC representative, checking in at number 9.

Keeping you up on the big BUZZ going around
Mon, 08/31/2009 - 09:15 — RosalieA US soldier wrote this good provocative new book: "THE ROAD TO AMERICA'S ECONOMIC MELTDOWN," by RAYMOND BERESFORD HAMILTON.
One reader wrote: All Americans should read this book it tells a lot and makes more sense than Dick Morris's "Catastrophe" or Glen Beck's non-sense "Common Sense" the book focuses on the system of government that have developed over time in this country and its attitude toward different the classes of Americans. It clearly shows the skewed conditions that exist in government favoring big business. The author also offers many challenges to the Congress to help benefit future generations of Americans to come. This book is recommended for all to read because it is so relevant, factual and have many teaching points. It receives many stars.
Read it for yourself you’ll find it at all online stores: Amazon, Barnes & Noble’s and others
you are there to study, not party

North Carolina is full of VERY NICE, VERY POLITE, VERY WELL-MEANING
B O R I N G
people. I lived in Texas for 20 years and got used to people actually having something to say. Guess what else? The women there know that making eye contact with someone doesn't necessarily mean that you wish to go out with a man.
Sorry, but I've been here 5 years, and I just can't get used to how boring the people are here. I stay to keep my girlfriend happy 'cause she moved here.
Oh, the other thing? I'm in IT, and it seems most of the IT folks I meet here are not only too conservative, but suffer from knowitallness. It's been virtually impossible to get the level of IT job here that I was used to in Dallas.
Nothing I can do about it! Don't waste your time telling me to move away if I don't like it. I've tried that, too, but love my girlfriend and her family too much, so I'm trying my best to find things to like here.
NC colleges not party schools.

Party Poll
Mon, 07/27/2009 - 17:36 — Dotwor01The daughter of a Greenville physician went to a prestigious school in The North. She kept the same room mate for the next 3 years. Fall semester of their senior year her room mate failed to appear. Spring semester she was back with the explanation that she just had to spend one semester at the Party Capital of the World; ECU. Now this poll has me wondering if we should change G'vegas to Green Acres. Where did we, the older generation, fail. This from a detainee of the very first Greenville Halloween riot.
