Princeton Review Reveals Top Party Schools

The Princeton Review has released their annual list of the best party schools in the nation and this year’s winner is…West Virginia University!

Princeton Review conducts an annual survey on the party scene at colleges and judges the schools on the following criteria: use of alcohol and drugs, hours of study each student puts in, and the popularity of Greek life. I guess whichever school scores the most points wins.

Runners up in the rankings included the University of Mississippi coming in second place, along with favorites Penn State, University of Florida, Indiana, and UCSB, all finishing in the top ten. Another strong showing was Randolph Macon College coming in at number eleven, (I’m starting to regret not going there). However I was sort of surprised that Florida State came in at number eighteen. I thought it would’ve been in the top ten.

West Virginia didn’t just win in the party school rankings: it was also ranked number one with students that almost never study; number six with the amount of beer drank; number four in terms of packing their stadium for sporting events; and number eleven in terms of how much pot was smoked or “reefer madness.”
