damn the man is keeping them down and by that I mean the administration trying to curb being known as a party school by cracking down on a lot of debauchery. I partied there often but I still think they are overrated

[rpone605]

I think they were actually #1 at one time.

[Bad324]

yea for awhile

[natedogg624]

athens, ga - #1

athens, oh - #2

i really don't think its all that great, i've been there a few times and i don't know what all the fuss is about.

Halloween!

^meh. just a closed street with bar hopping. thats just one day (night) out of a whole year, is that really what sets it at #2? then college parties are truly lacking.

+1, but i've only been there once... i was bored with the bar, but i was with good company.

In the late 80's early 90's that place was insane. OSU punks ruined Halloween, always getting drunk and trying to fight somebody.

Was down there last fall. It just isnt the same.

Playboy puts out similar rankings for "top beer-drinking school." In 2003(?) they had a note saying that "The University of Dayton has asked to be removed from our annual rankings. We've obliged, but only because we believe it's become unfair to allow professionals in an amateur competition."

UD still ranked in the top 5 for "best places to have sex on a college campus: Woodland Cemetery."

Pretty much spring quarter overall is an big drinking fest also. They have a different fest every weekend.

I posted this on Facebook already...but who in the hell made Princeton Review a credible source for party school information. Id want to hear it from Rolling Stone, Maxim, BPM, MixMag, Playboy, Hustler, Penthouse, etc.

Its the fucking princeton review.
