Because it’s hardly accurate, or consistent, or using good judgement or describing its methodology is it? Someone above put in criteria for <3000 student colleges with good music and strong environmental science. It came up with Ferrum College. Ever heard of it and its 800 students? No offense to that school. Maybe it’s amazing, but I can certainly think of many other colleges that might be a bit stronger than that one.

I am still playing the game.

I rephrased my question about friendly colleges.
Friendliest liberal arts colleges. This time Bates didn’t make the list.

Best colleges for friendly students between 6000-12000 students

1. Vanderbilt

2. Bates

3. Pepperdine

4. Skidmore

5. Macalester

6. Colorado College

7. William & Mary

8. St. Olaf

9. Claremont-McKenna

10. Davidson
Clearly, at least eight of those colleges have nowhere close to 6000 students.

A game can be useful. Doesn’t mean it’s accurate. Interestingly, Bates is the only college that made both of my lists, thus definitively proving that Bates is almost certainly one of the friendliest colleges around, if you ignore the fact that it didn’t even make the list for friendliest liberal arts colleges, but did make two lists for friendliness and having friendly students. So perhaps being the friendliest is the odd man out? Or perhaps ChatGPT has a long way to go before it can be called reliable.
