We’re passionate and loyal in the Midwest. We love our teams, schools and communities. So, it’s really no surprise that both Marquette University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison rank in the top 20 for "colleges with the most school spirit."
The Princeton Review recently released its 2017 college rankings. You have create an account to see all of the results, but more than 140,000 students contributed to the study. From the results of "How popular are intercollegiate sports at your school?" the data revealed the 20 colleges with the most school spirit.
As a Marquette grad, I’m proud but, again, not surprised, that MU landed near the top 10. There’s a pride and unique passion at MU. Bucky shares it, too, and also boasts a big-time football program that helps increase its reach and spirit.
No matter where your loyalties lie, here’s the full list as presented by Business Insider. MU at No. 12 and Bucky at No. 16.
We are Marquette! U-rah-rah! Wisconsin!
