D.C. is a political town, so it should be no surprise that it’s home to university students who consider themselves politically engaged.

According to answers provided by 122,000 students across the country for the Princeton Review’s 2013 edition of “The Best 377 Colleges“—on sale today—students at American University voted themselves most politically active in the U.S., followed by Georgetown University and George Washington University. (The University of Maryland came in at tenth.) Students at all three also ranked D.C. as a great college town—Georgetown students topped the list, GWU students came in at third and American students took seventh.

Students at Howard University seemed a little glum, at least comparatively. They ranked sixth nationwide on the “Administrators Get Low Marks” list, eleventh on “Town-Gown Relations are Strained” and seventh on “This is a Library?”

The University of Maryland stood at ninth on the town-gown relations ranking, third on “Financial Aid Not So Great” and sixth on “Students Study the Least.” Still, they celebrated their athletic facilities (fourth place), college newspaper (seventh place) and amount of race-class interaction (tenth place).

Not surprisingly, Catholic University ranked sixth on the LGBT-unfriendly list, and also took eighth for “Little Race/Class Interaction.” The U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis came in third on the “Stone-Cold Sober” list and fifth on the “Don’t Inhale” ranking. Then again, Naval Academy students did come in at seventh on the list of “Future Rotarian and Daughters of the American Revolution.”
