Pomona
College has Happiest Students in National Survey of 357
Colleges
|
 |
Pomona College students are the happiest in the nation,
according to the Princeton Review. The ranking marks the
second time in three years that Pomona’s students have been
noticed as the nation’s happiest. In the 2004 edition,
Pomona students were second.
In the Review's The Best 357 Colleges, 2005 edition, which
surveyed more than 110,000 college students nationwide,
Pomona College also ranked # 6 in “Students Happy With
Financial Aid,” # 7 in “Schools Run Like Butter,” # 11 in
“Dorms Like Palaces,” # 13 in “The Toughest to Get Into” and
# 17 in “Best Quality of Life.”
In summary comments on the Review website, Pomona students
noted that: "you're sure to meet a healthy number of
professors whom you 'can cultivate a close relationship
with.' Remarks one student, 'I had dinner with the dean last
night, I received a personal e-mail from two profs. in the
last 24 hours …'Students at Pomona choose classes from 'a
wide range of topics' offered by the college's 26
departments. Although 'academics are highly valued by
students,' they're 'never a source of extreme stress.'
‘We work hard and play hard... more often than not it's on
the same day.’ Anyone would have difficulty in labeling
Pomona, as ‘the activities are as diverse as the people.’
The college offers a slew of diversions for students, who go
to ‘movies, speakers, and concerts,’ ‘to the pool, the
beach, and the mountains…’ Where else can you spend a winter
afternoon studying by the pool after a morning of intense classes?’
Pomona students boast they're ‘some of the easiest people to
get along with.’ This is a West Coast school at its best,
without any of ‘the East Coast high-strung mentality...’ One
sophomore remarks, ‘I'm constantly surprised by the talent
I'm surrounded by.’”
The Princeton Review's The Best 357 Colleges, 2005 edition
was released on August 16, 2004. In addition to the printed
volume, the rankings and student comments can be found
