I kind of get what you mean about vibe. I think that just has to do with the type atmosphere of the school and town in general. Places like Oxford and Athens do create a certain "party" atmosphere and promote themselves that way. It kind of builds on itself. But just because the student body like to "never lose a party" doesn't mean that they actually offer anything that different. Just means you have more people out drinking and creating mayhem. Georgia Southern is known as a major party school and the students follow thru (see their OL on top of a bus catching a brew Stone Cold Steve Austin style). But it doesn't make Statesboro any less of a shithole town - it just means there is lots of coke to go around. I don't see MSU ever attracting a student population that "never lose a party".
