<p>Try a list that is informed by student happiness–somehow, more meaningful, I think, especially because happiness (food, professorial access, administrative flexibility, freshmen retention, student (attempted) suicide rate (or, moreover, lack of a suicide rate), collaborative learning, geography, size, ease of housing, political life or lack of one, etc.) affects performance.</p>
<p>In crafting such a list, you might be amazed as to what drops off or moves down/up the list.</p>
