Brown happiest school in nation… again

Brown University has topped Princeton Review’s list of the colleges with the happiest students for the second year in a row!

Princeton Review’s annual list of the Best Colleges in the country, this year 373, will be released in book form tomorrow. It ranks the top 20 schools in 62 categories.

Brown’s also ranked on four other lists: Best College Radio Station (#5), Best College Theater (#17), Lots of Race/Class Interaction (#18), and Best Quality of Life (#18).

I don’t think anyone really knows how they tabulate these things, some kind of survey, but good for Brown students for being (perceived as) happy. This is one ranking we kick ass at (unlike cough cough US News and World Report). Not that anyone cares about that sort of thing….

[...] Happiest, douchiest, trendiest — as Brown students, we’ve been ranked them all. And now we can add entrepreneurial to the list, too. Forbes published a list that used LinkedIn profiles to identify graduates who have founded companies with 10 or more employees. Brown came in at number thirteen, out of twenty schools.
