Alongside Bellarmine University's strong performance on traditional college rankings such as those from
The Princeton Review and
U.S. News & World Report comes a new ranking focused on student life.
The verdict: among Kentucky colleges and universities, Bellarmine delivers the best student life experience, defined as "school athletics, facilities, diversity, safety, access to nightlife and more."
In a
story on MSN.com, data crunchers at Stacker blended information from student polls and statistics from the U.S. Department of Education to find the college in each state that offers the best student life experience.
"With hospitality at the core of our mission and the vibrant city of Louisville as our backdrop, Bellarmine provides our students an individualized yet comprehensive standard of care," said Dr. Helen Grace Ryan, Bellarmine's vice president for student affairs. "Student life means many things - from safety and cultural events to student organizations, internships and athletics. It is a joy to work with our students, alumni, faculty and staff to create an exceptional student experience. At the end of the day, it is about serving our students and community."
