Washington University in St. Louis must be a pretty nice place to go to school.

The university was recently ranked as having the second-best college dorms in the country, and another ranking determined that its campus is the best of all the higher-education institutions in America.



Niche, a company that specializes in data on educational institutions, compiled a ranking on the best college campuses nationwide. Using information sourced from the U.S. Department of Education, college statistics, and student reviews, Niche considered categories including classrooms, labs, performance venues, housing, food, and recreational facilities.
