I am so glad since I'll be there this weekend for the game. At least you can't have glass anymore.

So, a school gets this rep based upon 325 surveys from schools that have thousands of students. I've been to PSU many times and I must go to the wrong spots when I'm there because I thought it was nice but boring, unless you're at a football game. Even those were tame compared to NASCAR races. But, some of the tail-gaters were professionals at what they do. Most of them were alumni, not students.

Every school is a "party" school. This ranking means nothing. Ohio University even informs parents if their underage student is caught drinking. Not many other schools do that to my knowledge.

So let it be written , So let it be done West Virginia University is no longer # 1.. To set the record straight they have dropped to # 6 . So apparently they are not up to their old tricks.

When I attended Ohio U. in the late 1960s, we were ranked the No. 1 party school...Come on, Bobcats! Can't you do any better now? Despite the heavy party atmosphere, we all got a first rate education and now enjoy well-paying, satisfying careers. And we learned how to party with the best of 'em!

Online surveys aren't exactly the most accurate. They're convenience surveys and students who decide it's convenient will give a response. This merely shows that these schools' partiers have way too much time on their hands. In addition, given that it is an online survey, the sample size is ridiculously small. Pretty disappointing for a Princeton Review study.

Unfortunately whether the survey results are valid, some at PSU will wear this dubious distinction as a badge which will only encourage continued alcohol misuse. Would like to know the survey criteria that was utilized to determine the rankings. A little information can be very dangerous in the wrong hands. This type of info should be utilized to develop effective prevention programs, not published to the world with very little emphasis on prevention. I am currently living in a medium sized Pennsyvania city that I know this type of info will motivate teenagers to want to attend PSU.

I suspect that those students who made themselves available for the survey were not the most dedicated of students. I would surmise that the better students wouldn't bother responding, or probably didn't waste the time on the internet even looking for a survey like this to respond to. And I don't think that students would choose to go to a school as academically rigorous as Penn State just to drink; Portland State, maybe. I'm surprised at the obvious pride some of the commentators have about the drinking that went on (goes on) at their alma maters. Jeff is right; although the data is not statistically valid, it should still suggest what and where new intervention programs should be initiated.
