The Top Ten Party Schools

The annual "Best 357 Colleges" survey, conducted since 1992, is based on responses from more than 110,000 students at campuses around the country. The review has no affiliation with Princeton University.

The "party school" category is based on questions focusing on the amount of alcohol and drug consumption, the amount of time students spend studying, and the popularity of fraternities and sororities.

The Princeton Review's report ranked Albany seventh in the use of hard liquor and marijuana, ninth in beer drinking and first in "students (almost) never study."

Last year's #1 dropped eight places.

1) State University of New York at Albany

2) Washington and Lee University, Lexington, Virginia

3) University of Wisconsin-Madison

4) West Virginia University, Morgantown

5) Ohio University, Athens

6) Florida State University, Tallahassee

7) University of Texas-Austin
