Public School Authorities


Lincoln Creek Day School by National Register


The news is out and the Princeton Review has revealed the names of the top party schools where students are likely to major in beer-ology and minor in vomit-ation. Data was collected in a somewhat odd scientific methodology involving questionnaires filled out but 120,000 students attending the various schools listed. Available for purchase as part of an overall ranking involving 368 schools but revealed for free by the Orlando Sentinel, the University of Florida in Gainesville comes in at the number one spot with the dubious honor of being the top party school, while Loyola University-New Orleans comes in at number 20.

Questions to the students surveyed included the amount of drug use they know of on their campuses and also the use of hard liquor as opposed to the more benign beer scene. Conversely, students were able to point out schools which did not tolerate drunkenness and drug use and actually had programs up and running that sought to combat the dangerous practice of student binge drinking.

Numbers two through 10 are held by the University of Mississippi (unchanged from last year), Penn State University (up from number six), West Virginia University (down from the number one spot at which it was ranked last year according to the Seattle Times), Ohio University, Randolph-Macon College, University of Georgia (down from number five in 2007), University of Texas (down from number 3), University of California-Santa Barbara (up from number 10), and Florida State University (which must be a blow for parents sending their kids to Florida as it is the second FL institution of higher learning where booze transcends the pursuit of academic knowledge).

Representing top party schools ranked 11 through 19 are the University of New Hampshire (down from number 7), University of Iowa, University of Colorado-Boulder, Indiana University (down from number 8), Tulane University (parents of New Orleans students watch out!), University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Arizona State University, University of Tennessee, and finally the University of Alabama.

Parents looking for a silver lining should take heart in the fact that several of the Princeton Review's top party schools are actually showing a climb down the ladder of shame, which might be due to the fact that school administrators are implementing programs to help curb destructive behavior.

Parents like myself who do not care about a silver lining and want a stone cold sober school from the get go will appreciate the list of the top 20 sober schools compiled by Princeton Review and released by the Charlotte Observer: Brigham Young University, Wheaton College, U.S. Coast Guard Academy, College of the Ozarks, Grove City College, U.S. Air Force Academy, U.S. Naval Academy, Wellesley College, Thomas Aquinas College, Calvin College, U.S. Military Academy, Wesleyan College, Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering, City University of New York-Queens College, Webb Institute, Berea College (which offers free tuition), Agnes Scott College, City University of New York-Baruch College, Simmons College, and Bryn Mawr College.
