Question ID: 394026
I have some questions about colleges (and universities -- considering
them the same thing here):

--What are the top ten smallest colleges in terms of attendence (the
colleges with the fewest students).

-What are the top ten safest colleges in the nation?

--What are the top ten most dangerous colleges in the nation? (could
look up crime stats, I suppose)

--What are the top ten biggest party colleges?

--What are the top ten colleges that give the most money to their
athletics programs?

--What are the top ten colleges with the most students in the "Greek"
system (frats and sororities)?

If you can find exact lists, that would be great, but you can compile
your own lists too. Thanks!!!!!!
