University of Alabama, Auburn students rank among the most conservative and most religious in the nation

The Princeton Review has released their trademark list of the “Best 384 Colleges” for 2019 and three Alabama schools made the cut – the University of Alabama, Auburn University and the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

Both Alabama and Auburn were ranked in several top 20 subcategories, including “Most Conservative Students” and “Most Religious Students.”

To compile their latest edition, which is the 27th annual, the Princeton Review interviewed 138,000 students and examined the relevant data on the nation’s colleges.

The list also features sub-rankings for the top 20 schools in various categories from academics and extracurriculars to quality of life and social scene.

The University of Alabama ranked ninth best for “Most Conservative Students” and number 15 for “Most Religious Students.”

On the other side of the state, Auburn ranked eighth best for “Most Conservative Students” and number 13 for “Most Religious Students.”

UA also ranked number 14 in the “Most Politically Active Students” subcategory.
