Hofstra University in New York has the best college radio station, according to The Princeton Review.

The Princeton Review recently ranked colleges based on reviews from 136,000 students at 380 top colleges. Students were asked to rate their schools on dozens of topics and report on their campus experiences.

In addition to displaying the strength of its communications and journalism program, a college's radio station can reveal a lot a lot about its campus culture and student involvement. Student publications with diligent reporting can give current and prospective students  realistic insight into a school's community and musical tastes.

The Hempstead-based college also made rank in two other categories including "College Gets Low Marks" and "Financial Aid Not So Great."

"Our 62 ranking lists provide students with a way to see the types of colleges that could help them achieve their future goals and dreams," Robert Franek, Princeton Review's senior vice president-publisher, said in a statement. "Every college in our book has outstanding academics. While our purpose is not to crown one college academically 'best' overall or to rank the schools 1 to 380 on any single topic, our lists provide direct student feedback on the schools' campus culture, program offerings and cost. Our goal is to help applicants choose and get into their dream college -- the college best for them."
