Here is Raul's take on the Princeton Review's recent party school rakings:
1.WVU-Take away all the students from suburban Pittsburg and you have one large white-trash bash
2.Mississippi-“At Ole Miss, we may not win the game, but we never loose a party” They certainly live up to the former.
3. UT Austin-Having the president’s daughters cited for multiple alcohol violations will do wonders for your party ranking.
4. UF- We're only #4 b/c everyone at UGA would slit their wrist if they had to read another article about UF being #1 at something.
5.UGA-“No… seriously, We’re just as good as Florida”
6.PSU-They’ve perfected the “zombie nation” student section cheer.
7.University of New Hampshire-Those bright minds at the New England public universities, situated in the middle-of –nowhere, have come up with some of our favorite drinking games like “Edward 40-hands” and "Beirut." So, be thankful.
8. Indiana-Homogenuity must have been heavily weighed in coming up with this one.
9.Ohio University- Don't own enough J Crew to go to Miami(oh), not pretentious enough for Denison, but too smart for Ohio State. I guess OU is the place for me!!!
10. UCSB-Frosted tips rule!!!

I'm convinced that these party school rankings are now simply a set rotation used by Princeton Review. How did Indiana and Illinois fall from #1? If you want to be the man, you've got to BEAT the man. How is CU Boulder not in the conversation? I mean, what happened to the great Party School dynasties of the past, like Cal State Chico, Colgate, and Oral Roberts? They don't publish their methodology (number of cases of alcohol poisoning per capita? unwanted pregnancies? absenteeism? liver-spots as fashion trend on campus? luminol tests below fraternity house balconies?). Princeton Review just refuses to roll up its sleeves and do the hard research and forensics necessary to determine the best party schools in America. I think such a determination requires the resources and reach of the federal government, or at least Cato or Brookings.
Huzzah!
