Attention parents getting ready to send your kid off to campus next month?
I can't believe I am saying this but school for us is only 3 weeks away. As I push my daughter to finish the 3 books she has to write reports on this summer before her AP courses start in a couple weeks, all she is concerned about is taking her driver's test. She knows without grades she isn't using her cell phone to text let alone attempt to drive a car....but she persists none the less.
As I worry about driving and high school, I realize that college is just around the corner and is closing on me quickly. So today as I read the news I wonder, which school will she want to attend and what scares me the most is my own memories of new found freedom during my college years. Yes, I survived and I did thrive and I made a little money in my career too BUT... as you send your kids off to college are you worried about them having a bigger reputation as a "Party School" rather than one known for their academics?
Even with it's bathtubs full of "trashcan Kool-aid" or whatever gut rot was in it, my college was noted for it's educational opportunities should you so choose....
Who made the list this year of Top Party Schools? Well, the list of the nation's top party schools is out, and you might want to see if your student is headed off to one of them! (rated by the Princeton Review)
After Penn State and Florida, the top five institutions on the party schools list were the University of Mississippi, the University of Georgia, and Ohio University-Athens.

Your thoughts? Is this a popularity contest for fun or are they serious? Is this a big deal or not?
