[BECCALICIOUS!]

1. If you attend one of these schools, do you feel it's accurate? If you don't, would you still attend a school even if it had a rep as a party school?
I do not attend one of these schools. "Party schools" were a huge turnoff to me when I was applying, but after a few years in college it doesn't matter to me as much.
2. Do you think lists like these influence students? If yes, how?
Not really. I'm sure every school has a social life, so it doesn't matter as much to a "partier"... but I think good students who don't party will be turned off from it and would rather go to a smaller school.
3. How do you personally balance your academic life with your social life?
I bulk up my schedule so most of my classes fall on two days a week. I can study the other three days and still go out if I choose to, and then have weekends free. I'll get a lot done on Sundays and Wednesdays. I tend to avoid going out weekends before I have exams. It's all time management, but it really isn't at all impossible to have a social life in college.
