Who uses "UFL student?" You must also realize that the UAA has its own funds and it is not a major part of UF's budget. What they do get is minute compared to their own "private" funds elsewhere. Get your BLOODY facts right, mate. If you are upset about UF, you can transfer to FSU, USF, or countless other schools in Florida. The coaches maybe making a combined 3.5 million per year, but how much revenue to they bring in? More than 3.5 million dollars! To SonofMagicFact:

The athletic department is the Republican Party. The rest of the school is the Democratic Party. Republicans, who yell louder and longer than anybody, always get what they want. Think of military spending. We do not have a Department of Defense, we have a Department of OFFENSE. The Dems can't agree on anything, so they get steamrolled, and continually have funding cut for things that basically help most people. As far as being at UF, if you don't like it, there's a simple solution: transfer to somewhere else. Sonny,

I'm a UFL student, and this utterly appalls me. You can have your top party school. I don't want that. I'm not going to college to get drunk out of my mind. I'm going to college to learn. Don't get me wrong. I think it's really cool that the Gators won those three national championships a couple of years ago. What I don't think is so cool is the fact that between Urban Meyer and Billy Donovan, who coach football and basketball respectively, they make a combined 3.5 million dollars a year. That's my tuition money that's helping to pay for it. When the school had to cut 300 million dollars from the annual budget the athletic departments are still getting EVERY SINGLE BLOODY DOLLAR they ask for. It makes me very angry. Ugh. I wish I were going to another school. Trust me. I'm a UFL student, and this utterly appalls me. You can have your top party school. I don't want that.

I don't think the survey considers LSD a "party" drug, however, which probably continues to handicap Berkeley to this day. I'm always a tad disappointed when dear old Cal fails to make this list.

Between 1999-2004 (5 years, yeah) I helped lay the groundwork for this accomplishment. Glad to see the torch was carried on (especially to light the bong)... Thank you, Thank you all.

Don't get me wrong, UGA can party, but Ga Southern managed a 90% STD rate for freshman a few years ago. That's a number to be proud of.

Or does the Princeton Review just want free publicity on a yearly basis? Does the party scene at these colleges really change so much from year to year?

Ok, I could start with immature, juvenile, rude, 'why aren't they in the peace corps', move through STD's, social contribution = 0, onto 'now is the time to make hay', climate change, the food shortage and finish with reminders about peak oil and their own children's future. But that only hides the fact that I am jealous...so there. My opinion?
