The Daily Beast/Newsweek rank SMU the 11th happiest
Newsweek and The Daily Beast have ranked SMU as the 11th happiest school in America, according to their website.
"Happiness is subjective, but without a doubt some college campuses make life a little sweeter for students," according to their website.
In its evaluation of SMU, they gave the University A's for housing and nightlife.
To identify the 25 Happiest Schools, "Newsweek crunched the numbers for six categories, weighted equally using z-scores (a measure of how close or distant each school is to average): dining, housing, and nightlife grades from College Prowler, the number of sunny days per year, with data from Sperling’s Best Places, student-teacher ratio, and the average indebtedness at graduation, with data from the College Board."
