In the nineties, what American university had a reputation as a party school, but without also being totally useless? Like party school, but also a semi decent education nonetheless too. Preferably within the SE USA.

Thanks in advance.

If none of the big ten universities fit the bill geographically, just pick a large college that offered a big selection of majors, and it will likely also have a rep as a party school.

The big ten?

Thank you.

Probably one in Florida.

Florida probably fails the not totally useless clause.

Dunno. The University of Florida has had a long tradition of robust agricultural programs. Likewise, UCF had a solid computer science program back in the late 90s-early 2000s. Many of my more computer career track peers went to UCF after high school. (I ended up going to FIU to get away from my classmates.)

Am I crazy or didn't you already ask this?

You are indeed, crazy. I don't know if anyone else has ever asked, but I certainly have not.

DA - thats hilarious because some anon definitely asked a very similar question.

...

Is there some reason that multiple nonnies would ask about 90s party schools????

Is there something in the water?

I wonder if it's a fandom specific thing. What fandom has kids going to college in the 90s? We're gonna crack this case wide open!

Marvel? When was Tony at school? That feels nineties-ish.

Stranger Things? That takes place in the 80s so maybe college in the 90s?

I think we have a winner. Gotta be it.

Case closed!

I remember this question before.

Well what answer did it get, because I still need one. I never asked before, so whoever did, did they actually get an answer?

Exact question that time was "what was a cool choice of college in the early 90s"

Cool isn't the same as party.

close enough for government work

For many people it would generally be the same

UCLA is the only one I can remember being considered both a party school and a decent education. University was very different in the 90s than today and what you’re looking for might not have even existed. Those were the last years of degree renumeration, by the early 2000s college cost more than it was worth and the majority of students had to take out loans greater than what they would earn in the next 15 years. Going to high school in the 90s, there was definitely a lot of talk about choosing colleges but also a lot of talk of even considering going to college because the kids born prior to the early 80s weren’t required to get a degree to earn a livable income.

Unless you’re writing a fic where the character is canonically college bound, you should really consider if they would have gone at all. And you should consider how they would have gotten there because pre-2000, scholarships were about the only help anyone got paying for it. Most college students in America in the 90s worked at least one job. You should also look up the statistics about how long it took to earn a degree; I know in some fields there were large numbers who took five years to earn a four year degree because scholarships were only for the first two years and they had to pay the rest out of pocket. This was right at the time that employers stopped paying for degrees for their employees and made the transition to requiring them to already have them before hiring.

University of Florida, Duke University or Tulane would probably work.
