Busted! The Nine Worst Colleges in the Country

There’s nothing better than possessing college pride. No matter where we go, from sporting events to keg parties to our grandmother’s house for Thanksgiving dinner, us college students revel in screaming out the names of our mascots, singing our alma maters, and making it known, loud and clear, exactly where we go to school, whether we’re shiny new freshmen or forty-year-old alumni.

Unfortunately for some students, there just aren’t enough bragging rights to go around.

Radaronline.com has compiled the nine worst accredited four-year colleges in the country. If you attend one of these colleges, we’re very sorry to do this to you. But for every college that’s known for its superior eliteness or exclusivity, or its hell-of-a-good time, or its drop-dead beautiful men and women, there has to be one that is….well….lack luster.

The list is based on “statistics on academic offerings, admissions, and student life from the Princeton Review, U.S. News and World Report, and the U.S. Department of Education, criteria like low SAT scores, incompetent professors, rock-bottom admissions standards, unbridled alcohol and drug consumption, rampant criminal activity, dubious alumni, and reviews from online outlets like Students Review, Campus Dirt, and College Prowler.” Whew. Pretty extensive.

From the most out-of-control school, California’s Chico, where a mere 15 percent graduate in four years and also where the family-friendly game, “pussy ring toss” was first established, to the worst Ivy Leage school, New York’s Cornell, where suicide rates are high and the girls are considered the most unattractive of the Ivy League bunch, this list provides disses, dirt and fun facts for everyone.

For those of you who call one of these nine campuses your home away from home, I’m sorry for outing you, and I’m also sorry you chose these schools. Haha!! Just kidding. You should be….proud? And for those of you who are lucky enough to go to a school that didn’t make the cut – this calls for a victory dance! WOOHOOOOO!!! Go FSU! IN YO FACE!
