Worcester schools top Princeton Review list

Courtesy WPI's campus is located near downtown Worcester.

Worcester’s schools have topped the Princeton Review’s 2017 list, taking top honors in categories including most accessible professors, tree-hugging vegetarians, best career services, and most politically apathetic students.

The Best 381 Colleges list released Tuesday listed all of Worcester’s schools on the main list, which is not broken down from best to worst. Various schools from the city did, however, make the cut amid 62 subcategories that can be used by students to help find an appropriate fit and help characterize the school.

The schools were ranked as follows:

Assumption College

    • 7th in Election? What Election? (a measure of political apathy)

Becker College

    • 1st in Election? What Election? (a measure of political apathy)
    • 11th in Students Study the Least

Clark University

    • 11th in Lots of Race/Class Interaction
    • 12th in Best College Theater
    • 15th in There’s a Game? (a measure of the popularity of sports on campus)
    • 17th in Most Liberal Students
    • 19th in Tree-Hugging Vegetarians

College of the Holy Cross

    • 15th in Most Accessible Professors

Worcester Polytechnic Institute

    • 1st in Most Popular Study Abroad Program
    • 10th in Lots of Greek Life
    • 11th in Best Athletic Facilities
    • 13th in Their Students Love These Colleges
    • 14th in Best Career Services
    • 19th in Happiest Students

The rankings in the 2017 edition are based on surveys of 143,000 students.
