Playboy Released Its Annual Top Party School List And The Number 1 Spot Will Surprise You
Playboy has released its annual list of top party schools for 2014, and once again, Brigham Young is nowhere to be found. Only three schools managed to secure their top 10 spots from 2013, leaving seven empty slots, including the crown for number one. Without further ado, here are the 10 higher learning institutions Playboy deemed worthy for the list:
10. Syracuse University
9. University of Texas
8. Colorado State University
7. University of Miami
6. University of California Santa Cruz
5. University of Iowa
4. University of Arizona
3. West Virginia University
2. University of Wisconsin
There are a few surprises mixed in, but overall, it’s a solid 2-10 list. West Virginia loses its top spot from last year and moves down to number three, while Wisconsin holds down the second spot for a second straight year. So what did Playboy pick as the top party school in the country? Arizona State? Penn State? Michigan?
Nope. The number one party school is the University of Pennsylvania.
Wait, what?
Yes, my hometown of Philadelphia and the Ivy League school I had no prayer of getting into has been selected as the top party school of 2014.
From Playboy:
Smarties can party too, and UPenn puts other Ivies to shame with its union of brains, brewskies and bros. Boasting a notorious underground frat scene that school officials have deemed a nuisance, these renegades pony up thousands of dollars’ worth of liquor for their parties—and competition among the houses means a balls-out war of debauchery. Aboveground, casual sex is rampant, as coeds value careers over coupling. Philly’s boisterous bar scene keeps off-campus-carousing options numerous. School-sponsored day drinking hits a high note during Spring Fling, an outdoor music fest that pulls in acts such as Passion Pit, Tyga and Janelle Monáe and turns the Quad into a sloshed mosh pit.
This is quite the controversial choice to say the least, as Philadelphia is anything but a college town, but from first-hand experience, I can confirm the Quakers can indeed get down. Like many of you, though, I’m completely outraged by my school not getting the respect it rightfully deserves. Feel free to vent in the comments section–just let it out.

Hook em.
10 years ago at 1:59 pmNo Ohio State. The list is legitimate.
10 years ago at 2:01 pmOhio state isn’t even a top 2 party school within the state. Ohio U and Miami murder OSU’s party scene.
10 years ago at 6:46 pmGonna have to agree with this. OSU has 60K kids but they can’t keep up with the boisterous and rich hicks that occupy Miami and Ohio U
10 years ago at 8:24 pmLOL @ “rich” being used to describe anyone at two bottom bucket publics in Ohio
10 years ago at 4:42 pmSurprisingly good parties != best parties. Fucking stupid.
10 years ago at 2:18 pmthat’s actually the best point on here. apparently now underrated means blackout city shitshow.
10 years ago at 2:48 amPlayboy said they left out IU because it would be “unfair to include professionals in a list of amateurs”
10 years ago at 2:21 pmI can assure you that not everyone at IU is like this
10 years ago at 2:31 pmCrow pays sites that make these lists to not put Arizona State on them.
10 years ago at 2:28 pmwait… you don’t go to asu do you?
10 years ago at 11:56 pmNo SEC schools, I call bullshit
10 years ago at 2:28 pmHugh Hefner needs to take a long, hard look at who his HR department has been hiring lately. UCSC is probably the least fun school in the country, unless you like dirty hippies and shitty weather.
10 years ago at 2:36 pmthats about the only thing left that’s getting long and hard fo4 him
10 years ago at 3:09 pmUCSC wouldn’t even be top 10 in California. This shit is weak.
10 years ago at 4:46 pmUCSC’s Greek scene is on the rise. That being said, it does not deserve to be anywhere near this list.
10 years ago at 5:53 pmNothing was the same after the fish fry…fucking hippies.
10 years ago at 12:52 amU of A better than ASU?
10 years ago at 2:39 pmThis is the funniest gif I’ve seen in a while.
