Congrats to NattieShea!!!

Every one of them except Wisconsin is in the south or west. The women are better looking and the men are more (generally) polite.

I think Wisconsin is an outlier due to the reasons mentioned in post #10. Drunks are very happy people until they get their inevitable hangover.

at BYU the Mormon kids go for free...

whats this got to do with cost equals level of happiness ???

# 9 The University of Texas - Austin.

--------------------------------------------> Known for burnt orange color.

The same burnt orange that God put in sunsets.

Oh, yes, we Longhorns are very pleased with ourselves, and are very defiant against A&M. - saber rattlers.

Right, but the Hoover Institute is not associated with Stanford University other than its physical locale on campus.

“9. UT students are elitist and condescending in their thinking, a trait common to the Austin area. Given that no one challenges their belief systems, that’s why they’re happy.”

The only people UT students are condescending to are A&M students. And vice versa.

"FReeper NattieShea just graduated from Stanford last Sunday, and with no debt. She's off to Michigan State this summer for a PhD program in microbiology."

Congratulations to NattieShea!

I can’t make out a pattern except they seem to trend South but not that much.

I do know if I was a boy living in Athens, Georgia or on campus at FSU, I would probably have a permanent smile on my face.

Gig ‘em, Aggies!

And, there you go.

Visited my sister when she was at A&M. The main administrative hall had cowhide for their waiting chairs!

As a Longhorn, I took some offense! Cowhide was intentional, I do believe!

Dang.

C/O 2002 here! Go Noles!

Not surprised to see TAMU at the top of this list. Great school, great campus life and conservative values. My daughter enjoyed her college years there.

"Knowledge is good."

Love it!

I have never met a happy liberal.

The one’s I know are bitter with chips on their shoulders.
Actually bricks on their shoulders might be a better term.

Please, get it right: The People’s Republic of Madison.

Smells like BS to me. You know this how?
