<p>Princeton review annual rankings are out. Vanderbilt received the number one spot for most influential greek scene on campus.</p>
<p>Also of note is Vanderbilt was ranked as having the 13th "best college town", 16th least "race/class interaction" and 18th best "quality of life"</p>
<p>Those 4 things seem to make up 90% of the discussion on here</p>
<p>This makes it hard to believe the parents who argue with students that greek life does not dominate the campus social scene.</p>
<p>Why would you be happy for school to be included in a list for 'least race/class interaction"?</p>
<p>I missed the part where I said I was happy for Vandy being included on any of the lists. It seems like a pretty unemotional description of where the princeton review placed Vanderbilt.</p>
<p>You do know that rankings should be taken with a grain of salt right?</p>
<p>
They are based wholly on student surveys…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>surveys i personally never bothered to fill out. </p>
<p>it sounds like the worst system in the world to me. surveys filled out by students inclined to answer them (bias) and reflective of ignorance (anybody can be ranked #1 in anything as long as enough students are ignorant enough to vote themselves so)</p>
<p>While it’s not untrue that biases exist, those biases exist at every school they survey. Unless vanderbilt students are for some reason more or less likely to fill out a survey than other college students (which I highly doubt), the ranking does still have great applicability to the social scene on campus.</p>
