Local colleges and universities have topped a handful of the myriad, less-than-scientific college rankings lately. Here's a round-up:
Macalester College topped the list of "colleges with the most liberal students," or so says a Princeton Review list published by The Huffington Post.
Macalester College is also No. 7 among the most friendly campuses for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) students, according to another Princeton Review ranking published by Huffington.
The University of Minnesota and Gustavus Adolphus College were among the top 20 "least-rigorous" schools listed by the Daily Beast. The University of Wisconsin- Madison was No. 3, the U of M was No. 4 and Gustavus was No. 14.
That seems like it'd be tough to measure. Here's how the site explained the rankings:
St. Olaf College topped another Daily Beast list -- for best food.
No Minnesota schools made a new list of the nation's most pet-friendly schools. None on the list of green colleges, either.
What do you make of these lists? What list would you like to see?
