Stanford Students Are Very Happy

Some fac­toids about Stan­ford from a nation­al sur­vey.

Stan­ford stu­dents are the 12th hap­pi­est stu­dents in Amer­i­ca.

How inter­est­ing. A few thoughts:

1) We beat Cal by 7 points. 🙂
2) I won­der what mea­sure they used to deter­mine hap­pi­ness? Is it relat­ed to the fact that we’re the 19th most gay school in Amer­i­ca?

Accord­ing to this sur­vey, we’re also one of the most Demo­c­ra­t­ic schools in Amer­i­ca.

We also have the 13th nicest dorms in Amer­i­ca, the 15th most beau­ti­ful cam­pus, and the 15th best rela­tion­ship with our host com­mu­ni­ty (which makes me think the sur­vey­ists were smok­ing crack, because the town/gown rela­tions here seem a might strained to me…).

I would nev­er have found this sur­vey had not Andrew Carea­ga lament­ed his school’s despair and Mean Dean pon­tif­i­cat­ed on his pro­fes­so­r­i­al pos­si­bil­i­ties. Thanks!
