Least Happy Students?

Why is Alfred University ranked no. 19 by Princeton Review for Least Happy Students?

Some of the other colleges on that list are truly miserable places, and although I've never been to Alfred, it seems so pleasant from pictures and word-of-mouth.

I'm not looking for Alfred-bashing here. I'm hoping some current or former student or parent can offer some genuine insight into why Alfred might be considered an unhappy place.

Thanks.

I graduated from Alfred in 1977. I loved it!!! I just went back 3 months ago and the campus is beautiful. The kids are smart and appear happy. The winters are cold but Fall is beautiful with the changing leaves. If yiu like to play NCAA Division 3 sports, this is the place to be. It is also a very safe school. No crime, you can walk around at 3am and feel safe. The teachers were good and the classes small. They have an equestrian team as well if you're in to horse riding. Send me a pm if you want more info.
