This list is a joke...
Ole Miss is #2? Have ANY of you seen that ancient, aristocratic, neo-Antebellum outdoor cocktail reception they call "tailgating in the Groves"? Better yet...Anyone notice how they suddenly started the team walking through the Grove, on a "Walk Of Champions" though they haven't won a championship in-quite literally-scores?
Penn State is a joke as well...They have a cadaver for a head football coach...I mean, seriously...Doc Frankenstein couldn't even do anything with that guy...How can they be a party school when their head coach's idea of a good time is to curl up at home with a book written in a dead language like Latin, complete with a cup of Metamucil at his side, and a fresh set of Depends on...
(Was that too over the top? I've been trying a tad too hard lately, haven't I?)
The University of New Hampshire? Get real...
Indiana? Well...I would disagree here, but didn't some porn star tape a bunch of scenes on campus in the dorms? Hey...That sex anthropologist had his research and life's work archived there, as well...
Ohio University? Ohio University? Seriously, people...
Randoph Macon College? Randolph Macon? Randolph freaking Macon?
IOWA?????????????????????????????????????
Look...Say what you like, but LSU is unparallelled in terms of a party atmosphere, no matter if we're talking about our legendary panty raids, or students mooning football fans out of their dorm rooms (which Huey Long got built into the side of the stadium in order to finance the construction of Tiger Stadium during the Depression), or even the unfortunate hijinks of our Greek system, which has led to members being arrested for cruelty to animals, as well one Benjamin Wynne, who went overboard-in all seriousness, people-and drank himself to death back in 1997 on Bid Night at a local Greek-friendly bar at LSU...
The rest of these people are posers...LSU's may be #2 in the polls regarding football, but we know we're #1 in any ranking of party schools...

(#2) Tiger educated,
You don't have a clue as to how wild Ohio U is. You have to be from Ohio to understand it. I've partied at both Ohio State and Ohio U. Ohio U is on a whole other level. Especially at Halloween time.
Ohio U should be #1 and Arizona State #2(just from what I hear about the Sundevils).

Its very difficult to imagine a more subjective, un-scientific process than these best party school rankings. How could they possibly know this sutff? I mean, c'mon. Did this "research team" from Princeton New Jersey - fly all around the country and spend a few weekends in each and every one of the cities in this nation that is home to a college campus, and conduct 'research'? Every time I see these things, all I can think is, 'what a load of crap'.

if you wanna see someone who knows how to have a good time look at the south carolina vs arkansas game last yeer...mr red jacket(or blue jacket i forgot what color it was) was my hero that game...it was so funny right before chris white snapped the ball mr red jacket ran across the field until the cops started chasing him and i was laughing so hard the whole time but the people that sat around me that game were weird they didnt find it the least bit interesting...when cops finally caught him they cuffed him and took escorted him out of the stadium...he may not have got to walk when he graduated but he knew a good time when the chance came...but we were losing about 20-6 around that time so that made it a little more interesting for me to watch and then it got better with the comeback but not enough :( 20-26 L

Cant believe ASU is so far down on the list. I had no idea West Virgina was so far up there this year, seems way off, there a bunch more schools in my opinion that deserve to be ahead of those, including UT below it..

TigerEducated #2, I have a question for you: How does Joey Paterno as head football coach affect the partying ways of the student body at Penn State University?? I mean cmom man, he's a football coach and a football coach only, not a student. JoePa has NOTHING to do with how hard the PSU students party. And don't you think your opinion is a little bias? Have you personally partied at every school on that list? I highly doubt it. BOOMER SOONER!!

TigerEducated (#2):
So, a student drinking themselves to death is evidence of being a party school? Should that be a prerequisite for even being considered as a party school?
And, what does the football coach have to do with partying?
Perhaps, you need Penn State to smack your ass around so you sober up.

My opinion, is that basically every school is a party school. There is underage drinking everywhere. Students, who once did well in high school, are unable to manage their time between partying and class. The sudden jump in responsibility and freedom fuels this. It's not like this for everyone, but it does happen. It's the same at every college. And this is definitely something you should not be proud of. I'm wondering exactly how they ranked them though.

TigerEducated-
Being a wild party school is not indicated by how much Boss cologne you wear after not showering for 3 days.
It is not indicated by how many of you throw up all over each other by the second quarter.
It is not indicated by who has the nicest camping chair set outside their car in the parking lot beside the stadium or power plant to enjoy their Natural Light and Heaven Hill whiskey (now THAT is tailgating at it's best).
Not by how many of your male students celebrate touchdowns by making out with each other in the student section.
I guess the Rebels finnaly beat you guys in something besides every sport but football-LIFE.

I am sure when this list was debated, they were really thinking in terms of cruelity to animals and death due to drinking as the pinnacle for party schools. Typical coonass thought process - bring up the worst examples as reasons your school is the best. Way to represent your school TigerEducated.

Is being on this list really something to brag about???
I mean, does anyone think the Miami butt buddies are "butt hurt" they weren't included on the list?
Seriously, it's not much to brag about and nothing to get worked up over for not being included on the list.

Nation - I am SO glad that somebody finally made this point.
Universities are supposed to be places that turn out refined, educated young Americans; ready to become our next generation of leaders in all areanas. Granted, there's nothing wrong with college being fun - its supposed to be. But you West Virginians (or anybody, for that matter) coming around crowing about your designation as #1 party school is bizzare.
As Seminole_Nation so well stated, is this really something to be bragging about? We party harder, out-drink, out-smoke, stay out later and are more hung-over more often than any other school in America?

Tigeruneducated,
I guess I wasn't too off base when i said you guys were a bunch of swamp rats. Members of your Greek system were charged with cruelty to animals....ha ha...i guess they really do try and molest alligators in Baton Rouge.
Also, I love the way you try and give testimony about all the partying that goes on at LSU. The fact some student dies from drinking himself to death means he is stupid...not a partier. Do you tally up all the people that OD there too.
Face it...you are lucky your school is even on this list. I have had much better times at McNeese than LSU. LSU clubs and Greek parties ain't got sh!t on Cowboys and this is from personal experience.
So just take solace in the fact your school got on the list at all and shut the f#@k up already.

I think Florida ranked highly on that list b/c our 3 national title post game celebrations on University Ave. were televised. Seeing 10,000+ people celebrating on a street 3x in one year definitely would put you on that list

I believe TigerED has stepped in it big time. That notwithstanding, I find it hard to believe that Florida has surpassed Georgia in party anything. Athens still ranks #1 in my book for greatest college town out there.
It appears that the Princeton guide ranks a bunch of different categories about colleges. It gives these "for people who can't visit every school." Anyone ever read the Lisa Birnbach "College Guide"? This must be a modern-day version...

Good question BigSpur. After reading the article I think they base it on variety of places to party, or types of parties. Also, what was really interesting from the article is WVU is also ranked #1 for students who (almost) never study.

Growing up a block from campus, Miami's pretty tame party-wise...sure, there are the frats, but you never hear that much about them from the homeowners nearby. I'm sure some of you have this image of Miami being badass or something, based on the perceptions of the city and college football team, but it's just a small private school with a nice, quiet campus.
..It's great to be a Miami Hurricane..

Growing up in West Virginia close to Morgantown I can say that West Virginia is the premier party school. Kids all around the state begin partying at a young age because there are not strict drinking laws and that is all that there is to do in West Virginia. There is nothing wrong with being proud of our #1 ranking because people here know that we party the hardest and we take pride in what we do well. The only thing that has changed since our prior times at #1 is that no one really burns couches anymore because of stricter laws dealing with that but people still drink and party just as hard.

Drew: I didn't see anyone complaining about WVU begin top of the list, nor did I see anything about red-necks, hicks, et. al., till I read your posts. Now, I've seen some stuff like that in other threads, but that's because the football team is ranked so high, and some can't come to grips with that.
As for #1 Party School something to be proud of, it's like ND or TX NC's. It's not the 1st time for WVU, and likely won't be the last. I did graduate from there, am proud of it; got a good job, am proud of that too. Besides, my party days are over. To steal a line from the movie "Dances With Wolves", "At my age, a good fire is as good as anything." Think I'll go out and burn a couch...
Gotcha!!!

I've heard about WVU. Especially on the times they beat VT during footbal season. I heard you can see the bonfire from miles away. Maybe that's why this intense and awesome rivalry had to end. The "over celebration" of each side in victory.

Are you serious TigerEducated. You have NO IDEA what you are talking about, you've obviously never been to Ohio U or IU. I've been to LSU, it wasn't horrible but I wasn't extremely impressed, I thought that Tennessee was better. Are you really bragging about people being cruel to animals and a kid dying. You sound like a GDI, go admire your jean shorts collection.

Univ of Maryland is on this list, get real! I graduated from Maryland in 2004 and the last time I went to a real party there was back in 1999. The football tailgates are weak as hell and the school is literally filled with Jersey trash. WVU deserves this honor; nobody can throw a party like they do. Just check out a Friday night on Grant Street. The football games are unreal. West Virginia is number #1; even though the song "take me home country roads" is about the state of Maryland. Ohio State, Syracuse and Va Tech are pretty money party schools too.

miked i agree. i actually transfered from UMD to WVU and i can say that UMD sucks. hell james madison isn't even on the list. something is wrong with that. but UMD no way. you can't have a party there without the cops busting it up withing 30 min. i mean common. i was blown away when i came to morgantown and could drive down grant street any night of the week and see house partys flowing out into the yards and such. i remember going to a couple tailgates at UMD it was pathetic virginia brought more people to tailgate than UMD did. the whole parking lot was a sea of orange and blue. and i agree with you on the other note. people here at WVU talk about how much jersey people come down..i look at them at tell them obviously you've never been to maryland.

Ok, as a neutral SEC fan having had the pleasure of spending multiple gameday weekends at both LSU and Ole Miss' campuses, I can honestly say that I have no idea how Ole Miss is ranked second. First of all, THE BARS CLOSE AT MIDNIGHT! Second of all, you can only buy hot beer. Third, on gameday, people are more interested in wearing freshly ironed dungarees with a matching coat and tie rather than getting wasted. Yep,there are some real crazy rebels over there in Oxford,about as crazy as a bunch of senior citizens sitting around a garden drinking merlot.

Longhorn, I believe it goes without saying that TEXAS SUCKS. If LSU is so bad, why do so many damned Texas people choose to come to school here? We definitely don't want them here; with all of their lifted trucks and stupid ass cowboy boots/hats and, best of all, STARCHED JEANS. You can spot someone from Texas from 100 yards away, just look for the person with an undeserved shit-eating grin on their face and a wannabe western cowboy attitude. Congratulations, you come from one of the larger states in the country, nobody gives a shit, you still grew up in a suburb!

WVU is where it should be on the list, first off our school drinks and average of 2-3 percent of the nation’s alcohol, drinking is part of the culture in this state with laws that barely punish those who do so. We also consistently show up with some of the rowdiest fans in football which the school pretty much throws a keg party for before the game starts, our student union building is equipped with a bar, how many of you can say your school has a bar. On top of that we have the famous High and Grant Streets which are home of some of the most hardcore drinking and partying you will ever see. Come on who else has bars that will sale a pitcher of beer for a penny. And if you going to go on say WVU is just a bunch of dumb hillbillies think again 40% of the school is from out of state, second we have one of the most respected engineering programs in the country, the number one forensics program, and a very good med and law school, and I promise just because we party a lot teachers don’t take it easy on us. So don’t be jealous because we have more fun and our football team is ranked higher than yours this year. And if you ask any Mountaineer they’ll say were under ranked in football this year cause our fastest team in college football is even faster this year (That’s for the LSU fan that posted earlier).

There are a lot of schools that think they are the #1 party school, but when you consider the size of West Virginia and the size of the school, it is had to argue against WVU being the #1 party school pound for pound anywhere. To quote Kip in the movie Napolean Dynamite during the scene where Uncle Rico plays his movie in the VCR that shows him throwing the football while Napolean comments "this is the worst movie ever" to which Kip replies "How could anyone ever know that?" I haven't been to every college to compare partying capabilities to know who the best is, but I will relay a few stories to justify WVU as #1.
1. In 1982 Bart French and Ron Tickle team up for the third time to run for Student President and student VP. They pass out rolling papers that say "Vote French/Tickle" They win the election and WVU wins Playboy magazine's #1 party school ranking ...almost....actually they are banned from the rankings as Playboy says "we can no longer rate WVU as we consider them professionals." Same year WVU hires a new President, a Mormon, to change WVU's image. Ron and Bart take him to Sunnyside, WVU's notorious party district in the 80's. I bounce a check at the Sunnyside superette in order to get more $4 pitchers at the College Inn.
2. 1982 WVU Mountaineers score the most points ever against #9 Oklahoma in Oklahoma's home stadium. WVU defeats Penn State after 25 years of losses, Mountaineer stadium goes crazy, I and thousands of other eers tear down the goal posts as my friend runs 100yds across the field expelling projectile vomit and cheering at the same time.
3. 2006 Panama City, Having a beer at a bar with my woman and watching the TV while making some fun of WVU on TV (something about couch burning)..... Guy next to me gets a bit pissed says he went to WVU. I explain I went to WVU also; he laughs now knowing I was just being a bit satirical about WVU. He goes on to tell how he decided on WVU for his college as a guy that grew up in Jersey. It seems his friends took him on a road trip to West Virgina (Remember the basketball shirts?) for a party, which blew his mind. This guy knew nothing about West Virgina, but one party did it for him and his friends that also signed up for WVU. Back in the day half of WVU was from out of State...ask some one from Pittsburgh where the best Party school is. In 1980 tuition was $235 a semester, the drinking age was 18, and there was nickel beer night at the Bull Pen...do the math..or don't do the math....well maybe don't do the Algebra as Algebra 3 was the most failed class at WVU at the time so maybe don't bother but you get the point. Anyone not catch happy hour on Friday instead of Math 3…play Dr. Renton darts, squeeze into Mutts or the Office, maybe Finnertys…Dr. Johns????
4. The party in New Orleans 2008, you think Katrina was bad?....just wait till WVU beats USC 42- 24 January 8 for the National Title for the BIG #1, and Steve Slaton and Pat White share the Heisman Trophy. Ain’t going to be a couch left in the Crescent city.
Its the year of the Mountaineer. (Way to go Appalachian State Mountaineers also)
AND just wait till Basketball season, maybe the Gators won't the only ones with the twopeat.... It may not be Pittsnogle but someone going to get Snogled.Yeah baby!

It seems his friends took him on a road trip to West Virgina (Remember the basketball shirts?) for a party, which blew his mind. This guy knew nothing about West Virgina, but one party did it for him and his friends that also signed up for WVU. Back in the day half of WVU was from out of State...ask some one from Pittsburgh where the best Party school is. In 1980 tuition was $235 a semester, the drinking age was 18, and there was nickel beer night at the Bull Pen...do the math..or don't do the math....well maybe don't do the Algebra as Algebra 3 was the most failed class at WVU at the time so maybe don't bother but you get the point. Anyone not catch happy hour on Friday instead of Math 3…play Dr. Renton darts, squeeze into Mutts or the Office, maybe Finnertys…Dr. Johns????
4. The party in New Orleans 2008, you think Katrina was bad?....just wait till WVU beats USC 42- 24 January 8 for the National Title for the BIG #1, and Steve Slaton and Pat White share the Heisman Trophy. Ain’t going to be a couch left in the Crescent city.
Its the year of the Mountaineer. (Way to go Appalachian State Mountaineers also)
AND just wait till Basketball season, maybe the Gators won't the only ones with the twopeat.... It may not be Pittsnogle but someone going to get Snogled.Yeah baby!

There are a lot of schools that think they are the #1 party school, but when you consider the size of West Virginia and the size of the school, it is had to argue against WVU being the #1 party school pound for pound anywhere. To quote Kip in the movie Napolean Dynamite during the scene where Uncle Rico plays his movie in the VCR that shows him throwing the football while Napolean comments "this is the worst movie ever" to which Kip replies "How could anyone ever know that?" I haven't been to every college to compare partying capabilities to know who the best is, but I will relay a few stories to justify WVU as #1.
1. In 1982 Bart French and Ron Tickle team up for the third time to run for Student President and student VP. They pass out rolling papers that say "Vote French/Tickle" They win the election and WVU wins Playboy magazine's #1 party school ranking ...almost....actually they are banned from the rankings as Playboy says "we can no longer rate WVU as we consider them professionals." Same year WVU hires a new President, a Mormon, to change WVU's image. Ron and Bart take him to Sunnyside, WVU's notorious party district in the 80's. I bounce a check at the Sunnyside superette in order to get more $4 pitchers at the College Inn.
2. 1982 WVU Mountaineers score the most points ever against #9 Oklahoma in Oklahoma's home stadium. WVU defeats Penn State after 25 years of losses, Mountaineer stadium goes crazy, I and thousands of other eers tear down the goal posts as my friend runs 100yds across the field expelling projectile vomit and cheering at the same time.
3. 2006 Panama City, Having a beer at a bar with my woman and watching the TV while making some fun of WVU on TV (something about couch burning)..... Guy next to me gets a bit pissed says he went to WVU. I explain I went to WVU also; he laughs now knowing I was just being a bit satirical about WVU. He goes on to tell how he decided on WVU for his college as a guy that grew up in Jersey.
