Move over, Oregon State.

The latest votes are in, and the University of Georgia is No. 1 – in sexual health.

UGA knocked Oregon State out of the top spot after showing “a strong commitment to sexual health on campus,” according to Trojan, the prominent condom manufacturer.

The university has devised “innovative ways to provide contraceptives and condoms,” Trojan said.

Research firm Sperling’s BestPlaces checked out 140 major campuses in building its ranking.

Features that helped UGA were Project Condom, a fashion show that utilizes prophylactics, and Condom Express, a mail-delivery service for students in residence halls.

No other Southeastern university was in the top 10.
