You realize that his whole thing is bogus, right?
First of all, Princeton Review has absolutely nothing to do with Princeton University. Most people think it does.
Second, as I understand it, these "ratings" are basically a compilation of comments from people who attend those schools and fill out a questionaire. It's kinda like some of the All Star Games. New York and LA often have the most players -- because more people there vote for them. It's not demographic like that, but if more people at Podunk University say it's a great party school, but the people at Ignorance Is Bliss College (which is a real party school) don't bother writing in -- well, you can see what happens. Everyone wants to go to a Podunk Party and are ignorant of Bliss.
My own Alma Mater, Ohio University, dropped off the party school list this year after being number 7 or something like that last year. Did everyone there suddenly get boring? It is, in fact, a party school. Some guy on the University of Nebraska campus who was wearing an Ohio U tee shirt told me that just last week. Unsolicited. Ohio showed up on the best Greek schools, though. I think only about 8-10% of the student body is Greek, so how does that figure?
