Little to do with Korea

So, I love when the top 10 lists come out for colleges. I think this stems from the idea that UMass was always in the top 10 party schools (based on riots) and sometimes in top 10 most violent schools (though it was all because of some stupid drunk people one night and it's all because UMass is basically a city in itself- c'mon we have our own police force!) But anyways, they came out and UMass is not on the Party school list (I'm only counting top 10). I'm pretty sure this has to do with the Amherst and UMass police teaming up together.
Brown made it on the list of top 10 happiest schools. I'd have to say everytime I go to that part of Providence it has seemed pretty happy, though some of the buildings just look ugly. Hampshire, of course, is number 2 for most liberal. it's in the middle of the woods and everyone doesn't wash their hair. And it's located in Amherst. Western MA has to be some of the most liberal, free-spirited hippies I have ever met.
Mount Holyoke made it on the list for the top 10 colleges for the best classroom experience. I'm not sure what they mean by that, but the class I took at Mount Holyoke was certainly one of the most interesting..Victorian sexualities. And the teacher had such a wealth of knowledge. So I guess I'd have to agree with that.
Besides exploring these top 10 lists I must say this: I had no idea how amazing it was to have a free weekend until I came here and actually had them. Having a weekend where absolutely nothing is expected of you is so relaxing and rejuvenating. It also makes you go an hour and half to stuff your face with Mexican.
