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.

      If I had to choose between Ohio University and Ohio State, I would prefer to go to Ohio State. OU really is an absolute shithole full of the worst kinds of people I went to high school with. Personally I don’t think parties with guys wearing gauges, Nikes, and cargo shorts sounds like a blast. Plus the girls are average at best.

        Ehh, I’d have a feeling you’d still let some of them sit on Santa’s lap…

      Miami of Ohio has a great party scene. Bowling Green is really underrated too. Both are better than Ohio U

        I’ve had a few great nights stumbling down Main Street in BG. Not the biggest or most in your face bar scene, but the combination of rampant alcoholism and slutty Ohio girls makes for a fun time.

    Iowa is the most overrated party school in the country. Shouldn’t even make the top 50.

    Some of these schools (Depauw, Vermont) are way too hipster to be on this list.

      One of my old professors was head of history at Ohio. Apparently it was a serious struggle just to get hungover students to come/stay awake in each class he taught

      I’m not sure either. There’s so many other amazing draws to ohio, Illinois, and Indiana.

    How did Vermont make this list? All those fuckface northerners do is smoke pot. Sounds like geed central

      14th is a down year for DePauw. They were top 10 a few years ago. Doesn’t take a large student body to rage.
