As Managing Editor Carrie Sealey-Morris explains, "There was a time, not so long ago, that campus recreation was pretty limited," but that is no longer the case: "for many colleges, campus recreation is central to the mission and branding of the institution." "At some schools," Sealey-Morris shows, "you'd be hard pressed to guess whether you were at a university, or a luxury resort," but all of this luxury has a very real purpose. The stress of college can have a long-term negative impact on student health, but access to a top-notch campus recreation center "doesn't just offer an escape from college stress - it offers a cure for the illness of stress." That's why this ranking can be a valuable resource for students and families.
