I think to rank schools according to which is more of a party school than another is funny and has no purpose, other than to tell high school students that if they go to this particular school they have a better chance at finding a good party rather than finding a good study group. (Okay, that may be pushing it a little. I just think ranking schools according to social life is a little ridiculous.)

If people didn't pay lots of attention to it then it wouldn't make the news... If people percieve a subject as important (or the media think they will) it'll air.
