I think a lot of it has to do with who responds. A few years ago my schools name wouldn't be found on anything - good or bad. Then a couple of years they started promoting that students should vote in the survey. after we got a shocking top 5 placement in most beautiful campus i am sure everyone voted this year.
But i agree some of its definitely not accurate - my school is a commuter campus in NYC, the reason there is no crazy party scene is we have a million things going on off campus -- not because we have a pass the milk attitude, no drinking attitude like the survery says.
