Observations on the Best College Dorm rankings:
- All schools in the list are private schools.
- Three of the top 10 are all women's colleges (Smith, Scripps, and Bryn Mawr). Four if you count the fact that Bennington College was founded in 1932 as a women's college, but became co-educational in 1969.
- None of the 10 most expensive college dorms made this list of best dorms, proving the more you spend does not necessarily get you "the best".
