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.
