Princeton Review Released Its Ranking Of The Top Party Schools For 2015

The most anticipated ranking in college has finally arrived. No, I’m not talking about the AP Top 25 rankings for college football–I’m talking about the top party schools, according to The Princeton Review. This is the list we work hard to crack into each year by cracking cold ones and throwing the best ragers. Without further ado, here are the top party schools.



1. Syracuse University
2. University of Iowa
3. University of California-Santa Barbara
4. West Virginia University
5. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
6. Lehigh University
7. Pennsylvania State University-University Park
8. University of Wisconsin-Madison
9. Bucknell University
10. University of Florida
11. Miami University – Oxford, OH
12. Florida State University
13. Ohio University – Athens
14. DePauw University
15. University of Georgia
16. University of Mississippi
17. Tulane University
18. University of Vermont
19. University of Oregon
20. University of Delaware

Syracuse made a big jump from number five on last year’s list to first place this year. Iowa has been holding steady in the top five for a while now–we can probably consider that school a dynasty that rivals the SEC dominance on the football field. Unfortunately for The DeVry Guy, despite his efforts during the last year, DeVry failed to make the list again. Maybe next year?

I’m going to have to check out the validity of the list for myself, though, and visit these schools to see how great of party schools they really are. Did your school miss the cut? Do you think this list is complete shit? That’s why we provided you with the comments section.

    I am curious to know if this is based on the quantity of parties or the quality.

      “What variables do you use in order to rank the schools?” Nice and nerdy…

      I absolutely refuse to believe that the university of Vermont is in the top party schools in the nation. Maple syrup ragers? Gayyyy

        Vermont probably made it because students there smoke massive amounts of weed whilst trapped inside by the daily blizzards.

        I wouldn’t say terrible, just different. It’s more and more off campus especially since most of the fraternities took over old apartment buildings. It’s just more spread out. In my opinion too Mill Ave used to be more centered around ASU students but by the time I graduated (Last Year) it consisted more of the 25 year old raging bro douches who never went to college and still live with their parents in Mesa. Alot of students (especially greeks) just go to Scottsdale.

    Yet every Gator will admit they travel to FSU on weekends for the parties. This list is shit.

        4-8 in one season and you guys fail to fill your stadium. Your fanbase is full of fair-weather fans and asian engineers

      This is true. To population of Tallahassee double on big weekends with kids from UF and UCF looking for a good time

      They might as well throw in Universiy of Phoniex, Everest, DeVry and ITT Tech if they’re gonna put DePauw. This list sucks.

        I haven’t had the chance either, but it is absolutely on my bucket list. *fingersss crosseddd***

      DePauw has made this list consistently for years and is 70% Greek. We may be small, but we’re mighty.

    Gotta give credit to the Gators. Win or lose, they fuckin’ party. Probably to forget about last year, but hey, do what you gotta do.

      Then why do UF students travel to FSU to party..? Another swing and a miss, Princeton Review.

        Noles come to UF all the damn time to party. I’ve been there a few times to visit my friends who weren’t smart enough to get into UF.

      UF has a slightly larger greek life presence, but FSU more than makes up with it by having a shit ton of bars, clubs, and beautiful women of course.

    Met a guy from Tulane Saturday night and he offered me blow with 10 minutes of hanging out at the bar. That’s one school on my bucket list to party at.
