Top Party Schools For 2012 List Released By Princeton Review

Top Party Schools For 2012

The Princeton Review has released the 2012 edition of its annual list of "Top Party Schools" in the United States.

Topping this year's list is Ohio University, which took the number 1 spot from last year's "Top Party School," the University of Georgia. UGA is now second.

Completing the Top 5 are University of Mississippi, University of Iowa, and University of California Santa Barbara, consecutively.

The Princeton Review, which has put out the list every year since 1992, reportedly ranks the "Top Party Schools" based on "a combination of survey questions concerning the use of alcohol and drugs, hours of study each day, and the popularity of the Greek system." A total of 122,000 students participated in the poll this year.
