This is from an article by the DailyCaller, they also have a top list of best colleges in which they rank the Univ. of Virginia at number one.
Here are the top 10 worst colleges in their view to go to in 2015:
10) St. John's Univ. in NY
9) Univ. of South Dakota
8) Univ. of Illinois at Chicago
7) State Univ. of NY at Purchase
6) Hampshire College
5) Seton Hall University
4) Pace University
3) Univ. of Wyoming
2) New Jersey Institute of Technology
and their number one is: Drexel University!
So, my question is, has anyone attended these colleges and if so, what was it like?
Now keep in mind that this is an ed/op piece, they rank things like "Student Hotness", cost of tuition, social life, locale, quality of professors, etc as their reasoning for coming up with this list. So, take it with a grain of salt.
Me personally, I went to an all girls school, on a sports scholarship, the very first year it went co-ed. 3000 girls and 65 guys. I was in HOG HEAVEN!
Drexel is a school where you work hard, get a real education, and graduate with real-world skills and experience. Most schools which are impressive on a resume are impressive because of how hard it is to get in -- Drexel is one of those few places with a relatively low bar for admission but then turn around and produce quality (although you could argue not without merit that choosing to go there in and of itself is a screen). St. Johns is similar for pharmacy, NJIT for engineering.
This is practically a list of places where someone who goofed off in high-school but has ambition to do well for themselves in school SHOULD be looking at.

I went to school in the same town as Hampshire College. That place is the biggest spoiled rich hippie kid joke of a college. Everyone makes up their own major. I swear one kid majored in tree house building.
The one — large — caveat about the colleges and universities on this list is that they certainly aren’t the lousiest schools from a purely academic standpoint.
Quote:
Many of the schools on this list have landed here because the social life is dreadful. The ability to have a good time around cool people is critical.
Quote:
A majority of the colleges and universities here — almost 60 percent — are located in just five populous, highly bureaucratic states.
Quote:
half a dozen schools on the list are public universities in big, square, Western states where ruggedness and rural life predominate.
Quote:
Note also that several schools here — almost 30 percent — generally emphasize science and engineering. That’s no coincidence. Students at engineering schools are notoriously unhappy with their heavy workloads and sometimes frustrated with their social lives. If they are unhappy, the odds are you’ll also be unhappy.
Also included are ads/links to some other erudite click-bait. Such thought provoking articles as:
Check out these Southerners having fun when they think no one is looking...

Seton Hall and NJIT are both good schools, they're just located in terrible areas. South Orange and Newark, NJ, respectively. Seton Hall is so dangerous the kids get "Pirate Alerts" alerting them to armed robberies and carjackings and robberies and such in the area or even on campus. They're often told not to leave their dorms when nearby incidents occur. And Newark just speaks for itself. I guess location weighed heavily for those two. Drexel is also in a very bad part of Philly.
Probably because he went to only Fordham (where Mr. Trump attended before transferring to UPenn). Otherwise, he would have been teaching at a better school.
I noted that the Professor was "tapped by former House Speaker Denis Hastert." Disturbing.
Nah, I am just teasing you. UIC grads I know are pretty smart dudes.
