13 years ago at 2:18 pmfinally people must be realising what raging actually is.
13 years ago at 8:30 pmThis is how they judge it…..
Lots of Beer
Got Milk?
Both lists are based on students’ answers to the survey question: “How widely is beer used at your school?”
Lots of Hard Liquor
Scotch and Soda, Hold the Scotch
Both lists are based on students’ answers to the survey question: “How widely is hard liquor used at your school?”
Reefer Madness
Don’t Inhale
Both lists are based on students’ answers to the survey question: “How widely is marijuana used at your school?”
Major Frat and Sorority Scene
13 years ago at 2:20 pmBased on students’ answers to the survey question: “How popular are fraternities/sororities at your school?”
My school is on this list, but I’ll be damned if Princeton geeds are gonna tell me who knows how to party.
13 years ago at 2:22 pmprinceton review has no affiliation with princeton university.
13 years ago at 2:24 pmFounded by a Princeton grad so it’s feed enough for me
13 years ago at 2:28 pm*geed
13 years ago at 2:30 pmIphones and such
13 years ago at 6:00 pm#2 Party school coming to #3 Party school to rage in the greatest tailgate meca in the world on September 24 FaF
13 years ago at 2:32 pm^this
13 years ago at 2:48 pmIt’s like that for every SEC school
13 years ago at 3:13 pmThe Grove. FaF
13 years ago at 3:35 pmThis will be the most FaF weekend of all time
13 years ago at 4:38 pmApplied for my student ticket today. Don’t think I have enough hours but I’m coming nonetheless
13 years ago at 5:54 pmHow do you all get away tickets at your schools? Whats up with needing hours? At USC, its just first in line, or rather, send a pledge to wait in line until it opens, then send him to the back and get in line whenever suits you.
13 years ago at 9:14 pmill be there. Bought my ticket today. Go Dogs
13 years ago at 10:18 pmLSU Ole Miss is also a hell of a party. Especially when its in oxford.
13 years ago at 10:26 pmGa/Fl will still be better.
13 years ago at 2:18 pmMy 1200 student private college was on this list for years until the college president had us removed from all rankings (positive and “negative”) because it was bad PR. I remember reading his report on how they calculate the rankings: it’s an equation involving % of students in the Greek system, sports standings, and survey results from a portion of the enrollment, etc. Trust me, their ranking lists mean ABSOLUTELY nothing. (but it’s a good way to get lots of free hits to their page’s paid advertisements..shhhh)
13 years ago at 2:33 pmHFF, what school did you go to? I went to a private college of about 1200 and the president did the same to us.
13 years ago at 3:22 pmWashington and Lee?
13 years ago at 3:32 pmHampden-Sydney?
13 years ago at 11:06 pm1200 person party school? My fraternity alone is 1/10 of your entire school. How the hell could you be on the top party school list?
13 years ago at 7:07 amR-MC. We were on the list for years – I think we peaked at #11. Fun school with a strong Greek system, but a top 20 party school is a stretch.
13 years ago at 7:41 amWhat the Fuck is Depauw University doing on this list?
13 years ago at 2:38 pmI’m proud to have helped the University of Iowa up to #4, up 5 spots from last year. Keep it up Hawks
13 years ago at 2:39 pmAgreed, #4 even after the ordinance is impressive for sure. Lets go Hawks
13 years ago at 4:16 pmIowa?!? haha what a joke!
13 years ago at 11:09 pmwhy the fuck didn’t Clemson make this list but random ass schools like U of Iowa and Vermont did?! Princeton needs to re-evaluate their party standards.
13 years ago at 2:42 pmI didn’t know a Big 10 school like Iowa was random. We’ve been on this list for at least the last five years. So I encourage you to come up and see how hard we go. We’ll blow Clemson out of the water.
13 years ago at 2:59 pmVermont is only random if you’re not from New England…It’s a wicked popular school up here
13 years ago at 9:30 pmsaying wicked.NF
13 years ago at 2:13 amhave you ever been to UVM? i think people there rage way harder than clemson. alcohol isnt the only drug involved in partying….
13 years ago at 8:18 pmIf you try to argue that, you’ve never been to Clemson.
13 years ago at 9:26 amBless their hearts
13 years ago at 2:46 pmHow how can it be properly ranked if schools aren’t of equivalent size? If they do it by number of parties and alchol consumed, bigger schools will have more parties and way more booze consumed. If they do it by precentage, smaller schools will have an advantage. It is a flawed system. Being from LSU, I think it deserved to be in the top ten, but then again I am biased. But I do think it is fair to say it should be past some of the other SEC schools in the top ten.
13 years ago at 2:48 pmI say rank the SEC, then you can start thinking of other schools that can be allowed on the list.
