College Profiles: The Worst Colleges in America

"Happily, most of life's decisions are reversible. Shoplifting misdemeanors can be expunged, tribal tattoos erased, Joe Francis can be forced by a judge to remove your underaged breasts from public view. But your alma mater, alas, is forever. Take it from us: The decision you make as a goofy 17-year-old will haunt you for the rest of your life. Luckily, we're here to help."

So say Helen Pfeffer and Harold Goldberg in a humorous and only partly tongue-in-cheek article on radaronline.com. By gathering statistics on academics, admissions, student life, and factoring in "criteria like low SAT scores, incompetent professors, rock-bottom admissions standards, unbridled alcohol and drug consumption, rampant criminal activity, and dubious alumni," they've come up with what they believe to be the nine worst colleges in America:

• Worst Party Schools (Tie): California State University (Chico) and San Diego State University
  
  
• Worst Trust-Fund-Baby College: Bennington College (VT)
  
  
• Worst Ivy League University: Cornell University (NY)
  
  
• Worst Christian University: Liberty University (VA)
  
  
• Worst of the Big Ten: Michigan State University (East Lansing)
  
  
• Worst Military Academy: Virginia Military Institute
  
  
• Worst WomenҀs College: Texas WomanҀs University
  
  
• The Worst College in America: University of Bridgeport (CT)
