Ohio University named Top 5 party school
Ohio University in Athens is the No. 5 party school in the nation, according to the 2009 Princeton Review survey of 122,000 students at 371 top colleges and universities.
Penn State University was named the nation’s No. 1 party school, snatching the title away from the University of Florida, according to the Associated Press. Florida, last year’s winner, finished second in the annual survey released Monday, July 27.
Ohio University’s reputation as a party school is bolstered by its annual Halloween party. The rowdy costume bash last year resulted in 34 arrests, 17 of which were for public intoxication.
The top 10 party schools are Penn State University, University of Florida, University of Mississippi, University of Georgia, Ohio University, West Virginia University, University of Texas, University of Wisconsin, Florida State University and University of California-Santa Barbara.
The rankings were part of the Princeton Review’s annual guide, “The Best 371 Colleges.”
