College apps are due starting Friday going into the first week of school for most schools. So, Seniors? Hang on, it's almost done. I BELIEVE IN YOU!!

Now for some fun with the help of Princeton Review!
We all know about the U.S. College Rankings. I have a beef with them, but more on that in a different blog. Princeton Review has some fun lists, and here are just a few!
Best Classroom Experience:
http://www.princetonreview.com/schoollist.aspx?type=r&id=773&RDN=1
This category is based off of student reviews on the professor's skills as well as the student contribution in class discussion!
LGBT-Friendly:
http://www.princetonreview.com/schoollist.aspx?type=r&id=707
How open minded are the students when it comes to homosexuality? For those especially in GSA, you might be interested in some of these :]
Big Frat/Sorority Schools:
http://www.princetonreview.com/schoollist.aspx?type=r&id=724
Frats and Sororities have gotten some bad reps, but remember they are insititutions interested in philanthrophy. Discuss with your parents about Frats/Sororities, and make sure you know how to stay safe at college, including college drinking.
Happiest Students:

HUGE NOTE: Happiness is one of the hardest thing to measure. This list is decided upon student reviews. However, just because a school you like might not be on the list doesn't mean you WON'T be happy there. For example, one of my schools is known as the place where "fun goes to die". Yet I really think I would be happy there. So keep this list in perspective!
Most Popular Study Abroad programs:

Almost every college is going to have study abroad. These schools are just full of students itching to explore the world. If you are the jet-setting type, these might be for you :]
Best Campus Food:

Face it, college food is going to get kinda boring after a while. No matter how hard a college tries, you will be glad to go out to a restaurant or eat your home cooking every once in a while. However, these colleges are famous for their best attempts!
Most Politically Active Students:

If you follow politics closely or if you have imagined being on the campaign trail, look into these colleges!
Best College Radio Station:
http://www.princetonreview.com/schoollist.aspx?type=r&id=689
I'm thinking DJ Cindy D sounds like a good name. If you have a good radio voice, or like being in control of the music, tune into these colleges! (I think my commentary is going to go downhill on this list).
Best Athletic Facilities:
http://www.princetonreview.com/schoollist.aspx?type=r&id=785
Yo athletes! Tired of having to travel distances from school to practice? How about these places?
Students Who Study the Most:
http://www.princetonreview.com/schoollist.aspx?type=r&id=756
Do you like studying? Do you like learning? Do you freeze up at parties? Just kidding, but these schools are full of academically minded students, so if you enjoy people who are supportive of your love of the books, look into these!
There are many more lists out there, so if none strike your fancy, either leave a comment asking or hit the web :D
