Wheaton, according to student reports, "Really is about the integration of faith and learning." It is "a close community of students with the same values and beliefs doing their best to learn and grow closer to each other and to God." Students here don't "drink, smoke or do drugs. Period. (Except for the occasional 21st birthday, and even then they don't get smashed.)" Whatever they're doing, "Whether it's playing games on the dorm floor, going into Chicago with friends or getting involved in campus or church groups," "Life at Wheaton revolves around community." High school seniors who considered Wheaton also looked at Taylor University, Grove City College, Baylor University, Biola University and Westmont College. The ''Princeton Review'' ranks Wheaton #6 in its list of the "most socially conservative colleges" in its evaluation of 368 elite schools.<ref>Wheaton is behind Brigham Young and Grove City, and ahead of West Point and Texas A&M.</ref> The ''Princeton review'' also ranks Wheaton #1 for Best Campus Food and #1 for Town-Gown Relations.
