NP--It's a combination of students' ratings of the dorms, food, administration, local town, etc. I like it, both because it's the users' opinions and because it's factors you don't get elsewhere.
Except that some of these schools may have more students with a far different comparative experiences--what pleases students at Kansas is in part what they are comparing it to. So not all that relevant for your kid unless they happen to match the life experiences of the bulk of the population making the ratings.

Amazing that you can only talk about one subject and one subject only. The obsession is real.

I do not take these too seriously as student interests and definitions of QOL differ.
That being said, in the top 24 schools listed, only two are above 20,000 students, one more is 15,000 students and the rest are 10,500 or less.
Just interesting.

My QOL was amazing at Univ. of Miami. Beautiful campus, town, weather, neaby South Beach, great local food, shopping, night life, and new 60m gym next to my dorm. I cannot imagine any school comparing in QOL to that.

No, “most” are not Southern. Unless you took stats in the South or ague that California counts as a “Southern” state. And to get 5 “Southern,” you have to say Richmond and TX Christian are from the same geographic area, which is a stretch.
In fact, it’s a mix of schools from a mix of places with a mix of selectivity. The schools don’t have a lot in common, unless you can see the link between Tx Christian, U San Diego, WA State and WUSTL.
No one can look at that list and seriously drawn any conclusion that any particular size, political leaning, location or admit rate is dominant.
As predicted...
