Happiness is just as much of a necessity in school as study time and learning materials. A happy student is typically a busy student, or a student that has found their niche and now thrives with so many learning opportunities and activities that they do not have time for stress, depression, boredom, or homesickness. Princeton Review's 2009 College Ranking Research took a look at the "best" colleges from several different angles, including colleges considered top-rated because of student happiness.
"Paradise" colleges with happy students included subcategories like "Happiest Students," "Best Campus Food," "Dorms Like Palaces," "Most Beautiful Campus," "Easiest Campus to Get Around," and "Best Quality of Life."
On the other side of the fence, "Purgatory" colleges were downrated because of "Least Happiest Students," "Is it Food?" "Dorms Like Dungeons," and "Least Beautiful Campus."
