Every Ivy League school. Except Cornell.

Why: they are the quintessential college experience a mix of academics and Americana.

I'd say Ohio State or Michigan. Great education, great sports, classy student body, all 4 seasons. You could add Duke and UNC to this mix if you value basketball.

ETA: Notre Dame is a good one as well.

UCLA isn't "collegy" enough. If you're going west coast I'd prefer Stanford b/c at least they get some cold footbally weather.

What???? Cornell was one of the smaller colleges (i.e., non P5) I thought of as providing the best college experience. Clearly you've never been to Ithaca?

I fricking loved my time in oxford. It's the perfect size IMO and isn't anything close to the stereotypes that ole miss students get. Sure there are the kids in peach shorts and visors but it's really only a small percentage. after sophomore year, no male students involved in frats are that actively involved. It's small enough to allow a person to know everyone that frequently "goes out" but still have a solid small circle of friends. I also loved how the bars closed at midnight as it encouraged a huge house party scene instead of going home shite faced at 2am.

Disagree unless girls are your highest priority. And they're important but I enjoyed dating after college WAY more than in college.

University of Wisconsin is #1, with, most likely, Ohio State, Arizona State and Stanford not far behind.

Cal>Stanford if we are talking "collegey"

UC Berkeley is what most college towns strive to be

Stanford. Top notch sports and academics and it's not up north like note Dame, Michigan, and Ohio St like the others mentioned.
