How are you supposed to focus on studying when there's so much more to do at college? While it might seem from our survey results that the students at these schools have gotten a little distracted from their main goals, the undergrads assure us that there is ample time to live life and to be involved, all while getting a fantastic education. The Princeton Review's survey of 122,000 college students for the 2010 edition of the "Best 371 Colleges" book revealed the top 10 colleges that offer so much college experience that students sometimes struggle to find time for the books.

1. West Virginia University (Morgantown, W.Va.)
Set in the "heart of the mountains of West Virginia," West Virginia University combines pastoral charm with an emphasis on providing a strong academic tradition to a large student body. "If you apply yourself, the opportunities at WVU are endless." Like most large universities, "with a variety of majors," "life at WVU is what you make of it ... If you’re able to handle making a commitment to your work, you can have a great time doing both!" West Virginia's academic curriculum excels in numerous areas, including engineering, premedicine, journalism, psychology, forensics, advertising, music and athletic training. It also offers a rigorous intellectual program through its elite Honors College. Students tell us that an average week involves "going bowling or to dinner with friends for fun." Many take advantage of the surrounding mountains and rugged setting of a university "hidden away in the hills of West Virginia" and enjoy participating in outdoor activities and sporting events. Others are quick to comment on Morgantown's status as one of the best small cities in the country, noting that it "is one of the fastest growing cities in the nation." With a strident regional appeal, West Virginia University couples "affordable" tuition with the resources of "a large university." "Close to home" for many, in-state students are quick to note the school’s alluring trio of "proximity, money, and opportunity."

Their athletic training grads that I know are lazy.  I guess they "earned" their degrees too.
