The Princeton Review’s 2008 Best 366 Colleges Rankings is out and in the category of "Parties", Sub-Category "Lots of Hard Liquor", Wake Forest comes in #14.  Hell, they finished ahead of Penn State (#17) and just behind the University of Georgia (#12).  Shockingly, preppy little Washington-Lee University comes in first.  In the Parties/Major Frat & Sorority Scene category the Demon Deacon children come in at #16, again squished in between Georgia (#15) and Penn State (#17).  Me thinks the Baptists aren’t too happy about this.

In the Demographics category Wake Forest is mayonnaise.  In the sub-category Homogeneous Student Population they come in #18 (my old friend Dimitri Kesari’s alma mater, Grove City, comes in #2 and Washington-Lee comes in #4).  In the sub-category Little Race/Class Interaction Wake comes in at #6 just behind Duke at #5 and just ahead of the University of Richmond at #7. In the sub-category Students Pray on a Regular Basis the kids at Wake don’t appear in the Top 20.  Again, me thinks the Baptists aren’t too happy, but I’ll bet the Mormons are ecstatic that BYU ranks number one in that category.

In the Type of School category Wake Forest comes in #8 in the Jock Schools sub-category, just behind Tennessee and just in front of Michigan, and well ahead of those baby-blue UNC Tarheels (#14) and those pansies at Duke (#18).

Sadly my own alma mater, George Mason University, didn’t place in any of the categories.
