Princeton Or Student Review?

Princeton Review Best Athletic Facilities Rankings

Anyone that's ever stepped foot on the High Point University campus in the last 10 years and questioned its beauty, has a much different definition of beauty than I. So, excuse me, when I find it difficult to believe Princeton's review on HPU's athletic facilities.

In the latest rankings of 'Best Athletic Facilities' by Princeton Review, High Point made the list at spot 22.

I've stepped foot on campus, in the various athletic facilities, and hardly ever seen a blade a grass out of place. You'll have to forgive me for questioning the list, once I saw some of the names listed ahead of the Panthers.

Gettysburg College

The NUMBER 3 spot on Princeton's list is Gettysburg College. Above, is an image from their basketball facility. That's top 3 on the list.

Denison University

Still inside the top 10, ranked NUMBER 6 of best athletic facilities, is at Denison University (seen above). You may say it's the color, or the lighting, but I did double-take to make sure it wasn't a corrections facility.

Wabash College

With 866 full-time students, Wabash College (seen above) is just ahead of HPU on Princeton's ranks at NUMBER 19. They do have athletic facilities.

You can be the judge yourself, but with the limited research that I put into this -- Princeton may need to review, its own reviews. And I think HPU is very appreciative for being featured and for their ranking.

Then I caught a glimpse of this little nugget....

*Based On Student Ratings

This entire ranking is made up of what students say about their own facilities. There's no real proof of what HPU students did or didn't say. And they were somehow outdone by 866 students at Wabash.

It makes me wonder -- Are the HPU students the one's whom have a much different definition of beauty than I?!?!?
