The Princeton Review ranks BYU top of two lists from 'The Best 390 Colleges'
BYU was in the top 25 of 16 of The Princeton Review’s “The Best 390 Colleges” lists. Out of the 16 lists, BYU ranked number one in two categories.
The categories were “Best College Library" and “Cancel the Keg,” a category awarded to colleges with the lowest amount of beer consumption.
The rankings were designed to help students learn more about the schools they are considering for higher education. The lists and rankings are curated by using an 89-question survey sent out to dozens of students in about 15% of America’s four-year institutions.

BYU professors study the effects of full-day kindergarten on maternal work-life balance
BYU professor of family life Jocelyn Wikle teamed up with BYU economics professor Riley Wilson and University of Notre Dame’s Chloe Gibbs to understand the impact of full-day kindergarten on family relationships and time.
Their research, recently published by the Annenberg Institute, found that full-day kindergarten gave greater flexibility to mothers’ schedules and acted as a form of subsidized childcare, easing the financial burden on families.
The study also revealed that full-day kindergarten made it so that on school days, children only spend 57 minutes less with their mothers each day than children in half-day kindergarten.
