The Happiest Colleges In The Country According To The Daily Beast's 2013 Ranking

Another beast doing rankings!

He reads The Huffington Post?!

The numbers suggest almost no difference between any of the top ten. Except for the U. of Texas, whose numbers were not shown at all.

I don't know what happiness has to do with college rankings. Do the students actually learn stuff or gain skills that will help them in life? Do these schools make their students happy, or do happy people choose to attend these ten schools?

I don't know what happiness has to do with college rankings.

Everything if the ranking is by the happiness of the students.

Other things colleges are ranked by:

Top party schools

Best value

Hottest cheerleaders : A&M wins the San Francisco vote but loses big nationally.

For finding a spouse

Do the students actually learn stuff or gain skills that will help them in life? Do these schools make their students happy, or do happy people choose to attend these ten schools?

Maybe this will help answer your questions.

After writing this, I tried to find a recent photo of Mrs. R. I was unsuccessful, perhaps for no better reason than she's now 87. I did run across this earlier picture of Happy and Lady Bird. Clearly, they are practicing the kinds of dance moves that would inspire Beyonce and others in a generation that would follow their own.

I had no idea that she was still alive!

When I was a boy, my mom told me that Gov. Rockefeller lost any chance of being elected President when he divorced his first wife and married Happy. Times sure have changed.
