Tulane University Is The No. 1 Party School In Princeton's 2018 Ranking

Its that time of year again.

The Princeton Reviews annual Best Colleges book is out for the 2017-18 school year. It surveyed almost 140,000 college students from campuses across the country to rank 20 colleges in 62 different categories.

We know applicants need far more than an academic rating or ranking to find the college that will be best for them, Robert Franek, Princeton Reviews editor-in-chief and the books lead author, said in a press release. We created our 62 ranking lists to help narrow that search. They are based entirely on data we gather beyond academics that gives insight into what the schools enrolled students say about their professors, administrators, school services, campus culture, and student life. In the end, its all about the fit.

The Top Party Schools list is one of the most popular. This year, New Orleans Tulane University takes the No. 1 spot. Tulane was No. 1 on Princeton Reviews party list only once before: In 1992, when the very first list was published for the 1993 edition.

People are definitely partiers. If youre not going out at least twice a week youre in the minority, reads a student quote from the 2018 edition. Intelligence is well respected. What do we do for fun? We party. But we dont just get drunk. We party with a purpose.
