The Princeton Review released its annual ranking of universities across the country Monday. Texas A&M U. topped the charts for “most conservative students” and came in at number five for best athletic facilities and number 16 for “students pack the stadiums.”

The University also was selected as one of the top 10 best value public colleges, based on an evaluation of available financial aid and the cost of attendance.

The rankings — which cover a number of topics including drug use on campus, the popularity of sororities and fraternities, and widespread political views — are based on e-mail surveys of 122,000 students at more than 370 universities.

The surveys are completed voluntarily, with an average of 325 students from each school completing questions for the nearly 60 categories covered by the survey.

Aggies also ranked number 15 in the category of “future Rotarians and Daughters of the American Revolution,” which is an additional evaluation of students’ traditionally conservative values, as indicated by responses to questions concerning religion, acceptance of the LGBT community and use of illegal substances.

The University of Texas at Austin ranked number six for top party schools. The category’s champion for 2010 is the University of Georgia in Athens, where nearly 100 bars crowd the city’s downtown area.
