The list is a compilation of results from a survey of American college students across the country taken every year, ranking scholastic and lifestyle categories like best professors, most beautiful campus and best college food.
The list is based on emails voluntarily submitted from 122,000 students from more than 370 campuses across the U.S., according to the Review.
On average, about 325 students from each campus respond, and university administrators often call the rankings unscientific and say they glorify dangerous behavior.
