<dbp:description>Located in the Oakland neighborhood, Pitt's
campus is a 3-mile trip from bustling downtown Pittsburgh. The city
is home to powerhouse professional sports teams, such as the
Steelers and Penguins, and dozens of unique cultural centers, like
the Andy Warhol Museum and Phipps Conservatory & Botanical
Gardens. Pitt students get free admission to these and other select
museums throughout the school year. Because Pittsburgh is bordered
by three rivers, kayaking, sailing and fishing opportunities are
plentiful. City buses stop every 10 to 15 minutes on campus, and
students can ride public transportation into the city for free with
school ID. Freshmen do not have to live on campus. Pitt has a
sizeable Greek community of about 35 fraternities and sororities.
Students in Arts and Sciences majors can earn hands-on credits in
internships, research and teaching with the help of the
university's Office of Undergraduate Research, Scholarship and
Creative Activity. The Pittsburgh Panthers sports teams compete in
the NCAA Division I Atlantic Coast Conference. Pitt students are
notorious for their avid support at sporting events, particularly
for forming a riotous cheering section known as the Oakland Zoo at
basketball games. Students who attend the most home sporting events
get priority purchasing when game tickets are in high demand
through the school's Loyalty Points
system.</dbp:description>

College Avenue campus to the farmland and science buildings at Cook
Campus. Each mini-campus has its own student center and dining

choose to do so have options on each campus, too. There are more

including more than 80 fraternities and sororities. The Rutgers

one-day program called Steppin' Out. Students can volunteer year
round through the school's Urban Missions, which coordinates
service projects in the local community, and Global Missions, which
sends students abroad. The student body is also active in
faith-based activities. Each year, students lead Be The Change, a
week of speakers, breakout sessions and events that give religion a
global focus. Freshmen are required to live on campus and must also
take two semesters of Chapel, attending worship services every
Monday and Wednesday. Students and faculty gather daily for a
campus prayer at noon, and weekly for free ice cream floats during
"Dr Pepper Hour." Students can also get involved in more than 270
student organizations on campus. There are more than 40
fraternities and sororities, and the organizations compete in their
own intramural sports leagues. Baylor is one of the only private
schools in the NCAA Division I Big 12 Conference, but the sports
teams, known as the Baylor Bears, stay competitive - especially in
football. The school mascot, not surprisingly, is a bear. Baylor
University also has its own holiday, Diadeloso, a day when classes

not have the hassle of buying a new laptop; each student is given a

<dbp:description>Outdoor recreation abounds in the
southeastern New York location of Binghamton University. Despite
its name, the university is actually located in Vestal, N.Y., a
suburb of Binghamton. The campus includes a nature preserve,
complete with a forest and pond where students can hike, bike and
run around. Through the Adventure Resource Center and the Outdoor
Pursuits program, students can participate in organized kayaking,
climbing and camping trips or can plan an excursion of their own.
Winter sports fans can go skiing and snowboarding at Greek Peak, a
30-mile trip from campus. On campus, annual student events include
University Fest and Spring Fling, two outdoor celebrations with
live music, carnival rides and food. There are more than 250
student organizations, including about 50 recognized fraternities
and sororities. Freshmen must live on campus, and, because of space
restrictions, no graduate students are permitted to do so. One perk
of living in the school's residence facilities: free laundry. The
Binghamton Bearcats compete in the NCAA Division I America East
Conference, and student fans form the BU Zoo cheering section
during basketball games. The school mascot is a bearcat named
Baxter. On average, more than nine in 10 students remain at SUNY
Binghamton after freshman year, one of the highest first-year
retention rates in the country.</dbp:description>

semesters, though there are some exceptions. The Midwestern college
town of Bloomington, or B-town, as it is known to many, is home to
a lively cultural scene. Arts and entertainment performances, such
as the annual Lotus World Music & Arts Festival, take place
year-round. Students can explore the surrounding area through the
Indiana University Outdoor Adventures program, which coordinates
hiking, whitewater rafting and rock climbing trips. Active students
can compete in the annual Little 500, the largest collegiate bike
race in the nation and a fundraiser for university scholarships, or
