ST. LOUIS — Seriously, what did St. Louis do to get this much positive national attention in the span of one week?
Earlier this week, Washington University was named the No. 1 college campus in the country by Niche on its list of 2018 Best College Campuses in America. The list ranked schools based on school resources, performance venues, housing, food and recreational facilities, among other factors.
Washington University earned an overall rating of A+, with its highest-touted ratings coming in their academics, campus, professors, student life and total value. Their two lowest rankings, a B and B+, came as means of security and athletics.
"There's no place like home," said Washington University's Facebook page in response to the ranking.
The other schools to round out the top five campuses were Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine; Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Va.; California Baptist University in Riverside, Cali.; and University of California - Los Angeles.
The University of Missouri in Columbia ranked as the 88th best campus, and Saint Louis University ranked as the 549th best campus in the list. No other Missouri schools made the cut.
