Hello all. I was wondering where I could find more information about 'Princeton Review - which college studies the most?' What are the criteria for this measurement? Thanks!
Hello! The Princeton Review conducts an annual survey where students rate their own schools on several categories. One of these categories is "Students Study the Most." The rankings for this category are based on students' answers to the survey question: "How many out-of-class hours, on average, do you spend studying each day?"
While the Princeton Review doesn't disclose much about the specifics of their methodology, it's important to take these rankings with a grain of salt, as they are subjective and rely on self-reported data. If you're interested in finding this information, you can check it on Princeton Review's page "Top 20 - Colleges where Students Study the Most." They typically update this annually along with their other school-specific rankings.
Schools at the top of the list in 2024 include the Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering, Lehigh University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Hope this helps clarify the basis of this ranking! It can be interesting and useful when comparing schools, but don't let it solely dictate your decision, as studying habits could vary greatly among students even in the same school.
