"Congratulations to Emerson College's WERS 88.9FM, named by the Princeton Review as best college radio station in the US."
Princeton Review’s 2013 List of the “Best” College Radio Stations
Read the source article in Radio Survivor:

http://www.radiosurvivor.com/2012/0...2013-list-of-the-best-college-radio-stations/

This year’s Best College Radio Station category (registration required), is pretty similar to last year’s list, with 14 of the same schools as last year and 6 new schools appearing on the list. Even the 6 new school have all been featured on this list in the past few years, so the 2013 list doesn’t introduce any new schools that haven’t been featured since at least 2009...."
 
Congrats... but it's a silly list, a survey of about 350 students that forms the list. No real criteria here, if you look at the Top 20, some of those "college stations" are the likes of WFUV or WSHU where, especially on WSHU, there isn't a student to be found on the air. It's an NPR affiliate.

About is meaningful as the Talker's Top 100 list, but you know they'll put it on the masthead of their website.

The real accomplishment of WERS is that with a transient student airstaff, they manage to average 170k listeners a week and raise over $100k on each fund drive, and have a very professional presentation. A lot of the students from WERS get good radio jobs right out of college. That's the best testament to the station, not some silly survey.
