Extra, extra read all about it—Auburn University has received national recognition! According to reports, Auburn University ranks first in the nation for happiest students based on The Princeton Review’s annual “Best 390 Colleges” rankings survey.
Auburn University Ranks #1 in the Nation for Happiest Students
Occurring once a year, The Princeton Review recently released this year’s “Best 390 Colleges” rankings. The rankings are based on data gathered from a survey of 168,000 students at the 390 schools. The survey included 89 questions asking current students about campus life and their fellow students.
For locals, students and Auburn fans, it comes as no surprise that Auburn University ranks first in the nation for happiest students, as well as appearing on 12 more notable lists!
This number one accomplishment comes from students’ answers based on how strongly they agreed or disagreed with the statement, “I am happy at my school,” for example. Other lists that feature Auburn include being second nationally for “Best Athletic Facilities,” fourth in “Town-Grown Relations Are Great,” sixth for “Friendliest Students” and eighth for “Best Quality of Life.”
