COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Colorado College (CC) heads a list it probably doesn't want in the first of three sets of college rankings to be released in August.

Students rank CC number one in the nation in 'Reefer Madness,' which asks students how widely used marijuana is at the school.

The Best 376 Colleges, an annual publication by The Princeton Review, takes student surveys to rank colleges in dozens of categories related to the academic and social scene.

The University of Colorado in Boulder ranks number four in the Reefer Madness category.

On the contrary, the college voted by students as the one with the least amount of marijuana prevalent is the Air Force Academy, ranking number one in the 'Don't Inhale' category. They also ranked number four in the 'Got Milk?' category, which ranks colleges with the least amount of beer.

Other top five categories for the Academy include most accessable professorsleast amount of liquor and most conservative students.

CC also ranks fifth in 'Birkenstock-Wearing, Tree-Hugging, Clove-Smoking Vegetarians,' a category created by taking the combinations of responses to political persuasion, marijuana use, student government, allotment of gays and religion on campus. They ranked ninth in 'Class Discussions Encouraged.'

The University of Colorado - Colorado Springs (UCCS) and Colorado State University did not make any Princeton Review lists this year.

U.S. News and World Report, as well as Forbes, will release their own college rankings later this month.
