College: the days of red solo cups, beer pong, shots, bar crawls, and wicked hangovers. If you’re like the average university student, you probably learned more about the selection of draft beers at your neighborhood pub than you did about your major.
Now that school is back in session and football season has begun, what better time to acknowledge the biggest and best party schools in the nation? Playboy recently released their annual list of the best party schools for 2015: did yours make the list?
1. Ohio University
2. University of Iowa
3. Florida State University
4. Tulane University
5. University of Illinois
6. University of Texas
7. Syracuse University
8. University of Wisconsin
9. University of Mississippi
10. University of Michigan
How did Playboy come up with the list? According to the mag, criteria for the top party schools includes “access to nightlife and musical events, and creativity when planning social gatherings,” as well as a reader’s poll.
Interestingly, a similar list was complied by the Princeton Review earlier this year for their now-defunct list; four of the ten schools that appeared on Playboy’s list also appeared on the Princeton Review’s. The (Fantastic) Four: Syracuse University; the University of Wisconsin-Madison; the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; and the University of Iowa.
Moral of the story: If you’re a high school senior wanting the best collegiate party experience available, get your application ready! One of these schools may be for you.
