Best Party Schools

[sigmagirl10]

UCLA makes the list, but UCSB doesn't? Not that I'm particularly proud of my school's reputation, but we were Playboy's #8 party school for a long time...now we've slipped to 10. I can't imagine that UCLA would rank so highly on a list that UCSB isn't even on.

I just laughed out loud that my one school made #5 and my other school (which consistenly ranks in the top 10 didn't make the list at all. I laughed even louder when I read: SUNY-Oswego! This list is a joke. SUNY-Oswego?

This is the REAL rankings from Princeton Review:

I guess I didn't realize that BOTH of my schools were listed as party schools. Well, it sure beats what we are known for at this moment in the news.

U of Alabama is only #2?
NOOOOOO!!!!

Back - WAY back - U of Alabama was, I believe, #1 in one of the very first party school lists, the one that Playboy came up with.
How did Alabama get to be #1? Did the magazine do extensive interviews, send reps to campus for weeks of polling, call every student?
No.
They mailed a survey to the SGA president, whom I happened to know. He took it back to the frat house, and he and his best buds sat round filling it out, spinning fictional yarns to prove their theses.
Yeah, that's how much credence those polls have.
