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 you are bashing DePauw being on this list, then it is clear you have never visited. you probably couldn’t handle it anyway.

      I don’t think you like me Colleen, but I really want you to walk me around depauw and whisper sweet nothings into my ear in that intoxicating Illinois accent I dream of you having.

    This list is bullshit. A lot of schools pay Princeton Review to keep them off of it

    I’d rather tailgate at an sec game than going to party at most of these schools

    I’m fine with my alma mater being left off this and secure in our social offerings as compared to these. Too many Yankees coming down here now anyways. GO TO DELAWARE! You don’t need to travel that far down 95!

    If Princeton knew anything about Oregon Schools they definitely would know Oregon State parties 69 times as hard as Oregon. Fact. Pointless list.
