The Princeton Review’s list of Top Party School’s for 2017 is up! Is your school one of these work-hard-play-hard (or maybe just play-hard) paradises? This year’s No. 1 is the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Every year, The Princeton Review publishes 62 different lists of top 20 colleges, based on results from student surveys distributed to hundreds of colleges, which ask 80 questions about campus life, academics and the student body. According to the Huffington Post, the questions measure students’ opinions, so the lists are based on how students feel, not any super objective data.
The top Party Schools, which has been published since 1993, is based on a combination of “low personal daily study hours (outside of class), high usages of alcohol and drugs on campus and high popularity on campus for frats/sororities,” according to The Princeton Review. Essentially, the students at these schools live to party—studying is not much of a priority. There’s also a Stone Cold-Sober list, and that list looks at opposite trends.
Here are the top 10 schools:
- University of Wisconsin-Madison
- West Virginia University
- University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
- Lehigh University
- Bucknell University
- University of Iowa
- University of Mississippi
- Syracuse University
- Tulane University
- Colgate University
