<p>I don't know if I like a list that penalizes colleges for not having high ROTC populations. Or that conversely rewards a high population. I don't see how ROTC is at all similar to Peace Corp participants or future Phds.</p>
<p>Hmmm. Harvard ranked 27.
Seems about right:
"And an internal Harvard memo from 2002 revealed that Harvard students rate their campus’s social life below many of their peers at other elite schools. The memo, first reported in The Boston Globe, ranked Harvard 26th out of a survey of 31 colleges in student satisfaction with social life. "</p>

<p>It's not necessarily a zero-sum equation; a school can have a high number in one category or all three (though, the latter is unlikely.) In any event, it's certainly one way of avoiding the "Northeast" bias accusation that gets pinned to most surveys.</p>
