Now it’s time to rank the Top 125 Colleges where students are “most thankful” for attending.
Here’s how we figured out this ranking. We researched how many times students are most likely to come back to their college after graduation. Also, we looked at how many students stay on their campus for the full four years without transferring. Finally, we looked into how much fun students have at their college day in and day out. Out of thousands of colleges nationwide, we compiled our list of the Top 125. If your college didn’t make the list, COMMENT below on the article letting us know why your college deserved to make it!!! Lastly, remember to FOLLOW US on INSTAGRAM —-> HERE .

Syracuse University: The university so thankful it got listed twice… at both 79 and 6….
The methodology behind this list is moronic. Notice entire sectors of schools missing from this list? I’m sure those students, notably at smaller colleges, had horrible experiences, even though they notably are more loyal and those schools have a higher retention rate. Nice try.
Bowling Green State Universiry is probably one of the most underrated colleges in the nation, I am blessed to be attending
it’s basically open admission, not a whole lot to do there and one of the worst public schools in ohio (you’re in the rankings with Kent State, Toledo, Akron) don’t think you’re underrrated at all
Your are dusty nigga
The data used to compile this list has absolutely no correlation to how “thankful” students are towards their college. This methodolody is akin to that of what a toddler would come up with. “We looked in to have much fun students have at their college”. How the hell does that turn into a quantitative measure that can accurately be portrayed and ranked in a list? You usually have good articles, but this seems forced, extremely biased, and unprofessional.
cry about it lameass
I’m thankful for zero student loans and full financial aid via grants only from Vanderbilt. That’s a serious $220,000 to be thankful for… Definitely the most important metric to me personally
Where’s University of Dayton?!
BABSON beats Bentley 1000fold and was rated #1 return on investment
