<p>Another plus for Oxy for those of you that have not made up your mind yet: The Daily Beast has just come out with its annual list of the 100 happiest colleges in the country. Occidental was ranked #12 in the country, with very high marks for student housing and nightlife! The weather is also a big factor, which is why all of the Claremont colleges placed in the top 10. USC, however, was ranked #31 due to its chronic problem with having enough student housing.</p>
