NEWSFLASH! The PR "bests" are out; (online at 7 pm tonight)

<p>All the lists will be online by 7:00 pm tonight</p>

<p>NEW YORK, Aug. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a survey by The Princeton Review that asked 110,000 students at 361 top colleges to rate their schools and report on their campus experiences,</p>

<p>Reed College (Portland OR) has the best academics. It also has the least religious students.</p>

<p>Bowdoin College (Brunswick ME) serves up the best campus food and</p>

<p>Loyola College (Baltimore MD) has the best dorms.</p>

<p>Princeton Univ. (Princeton NJ) is the best administered school and the one at which students are happiest with their financial aid packages.</p>

<p>The Princeton Review's annual ranking lists of top 20 colleges in these and 57 other categories are in the new 2006 edition of "The Best 361 Colleges" (Random House / Princeton Review, $21.95), which goes on sale tomorrow. </p>

<p>"All of the schools in this book are academically outstanding," says its lead author, Princeton Review's Robert Franek. "But no school is best for all students. That's why our book has 62 different ranking lists and campus feedback about the schools not reported elsewhere. We hope it will help college applicants and their parents decide which college is best for them."</p>

<p>Other ranking lists in "The Best 361 Colleges" and the #1 colleges on them</p>

<p>are:</p>

<p>Toughest College to Get Into -- Massachusetts Inst. of Technology (Cambridge MA)</p>

<p>Profs Rated Highest by Their Students -- St. John's College (Santa Fe NM)</p>

<p>Most Beautiful Campus -- Pepperdine Univ. (Malibu CA)</p>

<p>Best College Library -- Harvard College (Cambridge MA)</p>

<p>Best College Newspaper -- Univ. of Arizona (Tucson)</p>

<p>Happiest Students Overall -- Stanford Univ. (Stanford CA)</p>

<p>Frat & Sorority Scene Biggest -- DePauw Univ. (Greencastle IN)</p>

<p>Top Stone-Cold Sober School -- Brigham Young Univ. (Provo UT)</p>

<p>Top Party School -- Univ. of Wisconsin (Madison)</p>

<p>Students Lean Most to the Left (Politically) -- Mills College (Oakland CA)</p>

<p>"Happiest Students Overall -- Stanford Univ. (Stanford CA)"</p>

<p>Hooray!</p>

<p>I'm very surprised to see Olin on a list... they only accept 75 students per year. I know two students (both Asian females) going there this fall. I suppose it's the fact that everyone gets a full tuition scholarship that makes them so happy they become colour blind. haha.</p>

<p>They probably had 4 or 5 kids respond to the survey.</p>
