In Which We Rehash Last Semester’s Controversy

The professional college peddlers at Princeton Review have updated their annual college rankings and the big news in the sensationalized old grays of the Capital Region is that Skidmore rocketed to #2 on the “Reefer Madness” list. No doubt the outcome of the spring semester’s herd of outraged articles decrying Skidmore for its 4/20 celebration, the ranking probably wont do the college much good. And while anyone with half a brain understands that: A) marijuana use is a part of the college experience at every school from Harvard to Tulane and that B) the Princeton Review ranking system is about as scientific as creationism, a small set of local newspaper men are still wasting ink on the subject.

Moving forward, the PR also gave Skidmore some more favorable (but equally unscientific) reviews:

#19    Best College Radio Station
#15    Dorms Like Palaces
#12    Least Religious Students

And while you’ll never see it reported in any of the local papers Skidmore also ranked among the Best Northeastern Colleges.

    >420 being a police code for marijuana, for all you squares

    Nope.

    Also, does ‘least religious students’ actually count as ‘favorable?’

  2. Fremd says:

    Yes really, are we trying to say that Skidmore should have less religious students in its numbers?
