“Do not read!” warning for people upset by rankings

Resume.io (it provides what it says) concludes University of the Sunshine Coast is “the happiest university in Australia.”

This is where ranking critics at risk of head explosion should stop reading.

The happy-metric is based on using Amazon’s emotion recognition AI to scan “thousands of Instagram photos” geotagged by university.

USC photos that rate as happy snaps made up 63 per cent of the sample. There’s not much in it for the next ten, but the rest of the top five are Uni Queensland (54 per cent), Macquarie U (54 per cent), UWA (53 per cent) and Swinburne U (53 per cent).

“Being so close to the Sunshine Coast’s scenic beaches may have something to do” with the rating, Resume.io suggests.
