[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Niche rankings do NOT measure attractiveness of the student body (Stanford would not be first, trust me) the metric in question is:

Student opinions about the quality of the overall experience at the college they currently or recently attend(ed). Includes 121,626 opinions about overall experience from 25,090 unique students. Minimum 10 unique students required at each college. Note: A total of 11,857,508 opinions from 294,497 unique students were used across all of the factors in this table.[/quote]

Please do at least a little research before expounding on the "Niche" rankings.  Niche, the new name for College Prowler, has been collecting this  " data" for years from anybody willing to provide it. Students or not.  Trolls or not.   It absolutely DID rate "hottest" girls and guys as part of the exercise, along with "Best party schools" and other dubious criteria.  I see now they now call it "guys and girls," a strange criterion indeed,  but no doubt populated with the old data.

College Prowler is the same outfit that created a bunch of fake college  Facebook pages to create interest and viewers for the site a few years ago.  Then they got caught.   This is not a serious ranking scheme, but a shady, rebranded joke of an Internet scam.[/quote]
