Princeton Review Top 10 Party Schools: Syracuse University Takes Top Billing

By

The annual college rankings from the Princeton Review are here and Syracuse University has claimed what is arguably the least envied title among school administrators.

Much to the leaders at the University of Iowa's delight, Syracuse has claimed the number one spot on the publication's "top party school" list. Iowa moved to the second spot and 2012's titleholder, West Virginia University (WVU), fell to fourth.

According to Princeton Review, Syracuse has an acceptance rate of 49 percent, classifying the private research university as "selective." The student body is mostly female and about half the student body joins a Greek group.

Though Syracuse took top honors, the state of Pennsylvania dominated the top 10 with three schools while no other state had more than one on the list.
