The University has been named the No. 3 party school by the Princeton Review in its annual rankings released Monday.
Officials dismissed the rankings, which are determined by a nationwide survey.
“This is based on an unscientific poll that can easily be manipulated by a few clever students at any one school. The only that comes from this so-called ‘ranking’ is that the publicity gives parents of our students one more opportunity to talk with their children about responsible behavior,” campus spokeswoman Robin Kaler said in a statement.
The University was fourth last year.
Here is a list of the top party schools:
