[Bubba]

Not sure this really means much but it's interesting to see which schools are on the list. FYI, I went to #89

None of the above. SUNY No Pulse.

[Tabe]

U of Miami Fla. Didn't make the list I guess,was known as quite the party school(what school isn't),most likely why I bombed out.Oh well,retired at 49 anyways and have skied over 500 days in the last 4 seasons since retirement.

[Tabe]

My daughter went and graduated from No Pulse,loved it,what a great area.

[f.a.s.t.]

My freshman year I went to Lyndon State in Vermont, they did not make the top 100.

I took a year off.

I then went to SUNY Plattsburgh where I graduated in 1982, they did not make the top 100 either.

My senior year I was accepted in a Canadian Studies exchange program.

I went to Laval University in Quebec City for a six week French Immersion program during the summer. It was more like a six week vacation because I learned very little French, chased girls from all over the world and drank a lot of beer. There was an outdoor beer garden at the entrance to my dorm......what did they think, I would go back to my dorm after class and study French when I could hang out at the beer garden?

I then went to McGill University in Montreal my senior year. I was given a $400 scholarship each semester from the Canadian distiller Hiram Walker. I remember saying they might as well just send me $400 worth of booze. I did quite well at McGill with better grades than I got at Lyndon State or Plattsburgh State. The school year at McGill ended almost one month before it did at Plattsburgh State. I hung out in Plattsbugh during that time, while all my college buddies were studying for finals, I was going out every night and partying like college kids party, until graduation day.

I am happy to see that McGill University is # 47 on the list. I did like going to college a lot.

[Mister Moose]

Having gone to a college, I'm not on the list. #29 on Forbes list of all US undergraduate institutions in the US. (And to think I turned down #14... but the skiing would have been nowhere near as good!)

[KV]

So I was accepted and passed on #'s 41 (U Colorado Boulder) and #54 (Boston University) to go to Worcester Polytech which isn't on the list?

[Spring skier]

I have a degree from the University of Wisconsin, ranked #23. It really was my safety net school, but given that my grandfather, father and brother had undergrad and law degrees from the University of Wisconsin, I enrolled. The diploma is small, comparatively speaking, but hangs on a wall as a reminder that I should go back to Madison more often.

Thanks for posting this, Bubba.

# 80, and little old Lycoming College.

Damn...you're an Aggie? That explains a lot!

[Humpty Dumpty]

First I went to preschool. Then I went to elementary school. From there I went to middle school and then onto high school. College was next. After college I went to after college college, butt bagged that because a masters is a waste of time and money.

Free the Dis from the Admin small scrotums, out.

[Dr. NO]

U.N.H. 1988 "If we're not wasted the day is"

Southern N.H., Northeastern, Plymouth State- M.B.A. courses; no M.B.A. though

U.N.H., is that the U of No Hope or Nothing Happening?

I attended the other U.N.H. in West Haven. Definitely Nothing Happening there.

No, New Haven did NOT make the list.
