For some single-minded types, college means one thing and one thing only: studying. Although it may be tough at times, the rewards can be tremendous. The following schools attract students whose noses stay pretty much glued to the grindstone.

1. United States Air Force Academy

By all accounts, the workload here is tremendous. As one student put it, "They purposely place 25 hours of tasks in every 24-hour day. It's tough, but if you work as a team and put forth all your effort every day, this place won't be too bad." Another student puts a positive spin on the grind of the Air Force Academy, claiming that, "Overall it's a good experience; we learn time management very quickly."



This study was done by The Princeton Review.
I figured that since a lot of people are college-bound on this board.. might want to show them this :D have fun in school :D

I tend not to like school reviews like this. The Princeton Review and US News and World Report always seem to be a little biased to me. :shrug: As far as I'm concerned, where you go to school is irrelevant in comparison to how seriously you take your education. Even though I have very little respect for California State Universities as educational institutions, if the students who attend those colleges take their learning seriously, they are on par with any Ivy league school, imo.

yeah
Ivy's are the easiest schools once you get in.
grades are centered around B - A- (average score of the class will get you a B, or B+ or A- depending on school).

anyways - they should study departments specifically at Carnegie Mellon (why do i always brag about my school? :P)
stinkin MT majors bringin us down! :P

Yeah, in a way, I kind of like Ivy leagues, because they leave you alone to study and focus on what really interests you when you get in. I guess that they are just assuming that if you can get in, you've already proven yourself. :shrug:
