What does a men's fitness magazine and a college guide like Princeton Review have in common?

Men's Fitness consulted with Princeton Review for a second year to learn which colleges and universities are fighting the battle of the bulge in its student body. Men's Fitness surveyed some 12,500 students. The students then chose which schools they think are the fittest.

Here are the top 8 Fat Student Bodies according to Men's Fitness.

1. California State University - Long Beach

2. Carnegie Mellon University - Pittsburgh

3. Eastern Michigan University - Ypsilanti

4. Flagler College - St. Augustine, Fl

5. Seton Hall University - South Orange, NJ

6. University of Michigan - Flint Don't tell their football team.

7. University of Missouri - wasn't there a song about how midwest girls know how to keep their boys warm? Now we know how they do it.

8. University of New Orleans

The reasons...

1. too many fast-food joints on campus

2. lack of athletic programs to join

3. gym hours are insufficient

says Men's Fitness.
