Princeton Review Releases Top 10 Party Schools In The Nation, Number One Might Surprise You

After years of leading the nation in corn dildo manufacturing and conjugal visits with corrupt politicians, the state of Illinois finally has something to be proud of after the Princeton Review named the University of Illinois as the top party school in the U.S.

Coming in at a respectable 5th and 3rd place the past two years, the Princeton Review apparently felt that enough Illinois students have Google searched “Does Obamacare cover liver transplants” and gone on acid-fueled manhunts for John Wilkes Booth at the instruction of Abe’s statue in Lincoln Hall, to warrant the first place spot this year.

Here are the top ten schools from Princeton Review:

1. University Of Illinois
2. University Of Iowa
3. University Of Wisconsin
4. Bucknell University
5. Syracuse University
6. University Of California – Santa Barbara
7. West Virginia University
8. University Of Georgia
9. Tulane University
10. Colgate University

Of course, University of Illinois administrators aren’t quite as thrilled as the students may be with the honor that has been bestowed upon the school.

From the Chicago Tribune:

“University spokeswoman Robin Kaler was bothered by the No. 1 ranking- a first for the campus, which has been among the list’s top five for years- and said it painted students in a false light.”

Yes, this coming from the school where a real life porn star was brought in by a residence hall to remind the future female leaders of our country to not forget to work the balls, too.

But to hell with the administration. You keep doing your thing, Illinois, and keep on drinking dangerous amounts of your infamous Blue Guys until you look like a student body of asphyxiated Smurfs.

Oh, and don’t forget about John Wilkes Booth. Make Abe proud.

    Everytime an article/ top 10 thing like this comes out, there’s only like 2 on the list you say “yeah that makes sense”. Not even biased, this review is trash

        The pathological tunnelvision of most SEC fans/alums is annoying. Speaking as an SEC alum. UofI is lit AF; only people surprised by it are those who’ve never been.

    Unofficial definitely helped with U of I’s ranking. Nobody goes to the football games, I’ll tell you that much.

      Booze is the best. If your football team sucks you drink away the sorrow. If its great you use it to celebrate. Horry for booze.

        “Horry”? Sounds like you’ve been having some sorrows of your own, champ.

    “… Number One Might Surprise You” – Fuck off with your Facebook clickbait title. If number one was truly surprising, you wouldn’t have to tell me to feel surprised, I would simply be surprised. Lap me if you want, but that Facebook bullshit is annoying; and TFM has actually stayed away for the most part, and I’d like it to stay that way.

      It’s simply because Bucknell has a higher percentage of Greeks in a smaller student body population. 59% percent of 3,500 kids are greek are party all the time, and then you have the rest who are on sports team and then like 300 geeds and foreigners. Plus there isn’t anything else to do in bumblefuck PA besides get blackout drunk 5 nights a week in the fraternity basements or off campus slum party houses.

        the statistic that 59% of 3,500 kids at Bucknell are greek is right – but I forgot you can’t rush at Bucknell until sophomore year so that doesn’t even count the freshman class that goes out and parties at fraternity parties.

      Yep: Friday rager in Iowa Shitty, Saturday in Madison for tailgating and football, then day drinking at Joe’s in Champaign on Sunday. You might need to rent a tourbus or get a private jet to make that happen though … because maxing out at each location and then driving to the next one on schedule yourself is pretty much impossible.

        Even further: start at Bucknell on a Wednesday (it’s weird but we do Wednesdays not Thursdays), Thirsty Thursday at Cuse before trucking out to the Midwest.

      There’s a difference between being a party school & having a super hot female population (which Arizona schools are legendary for). The 2 tend to correlate, but one doesn’t necessarily beget the other.

    I went to school in the SEC and live in B1G Country, including a stint in Champaign where University of Illinois is. I can confirm the #1 ranking.
