I went with Brown University - Providence, RI. If brains were votes, they'd already be winning by a landslide.

Lehigh University: where the hills are steep, the coffee is strong, and climbing to class counts as cardio. Bethlehem's finest workout plan disguised as higher education!

I voted for The University of Arizona - Tucson, AZ because where else can you get a world-class education and learn how to dodge cacti on your way to class? 🌵📚 Sunburns are basically part of the curriculum.

Tuscaloosa all the way! If school spirit were a major, Alabama would hand out PhDs.

Cast my vote for The University of Southern California (USC) - Los Angeles, CA. Sunshine, palm trees, and that Trojan spirit... honestly, who wouldn’t want their campus life to feel like a movie set?
