STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) - Penn State University tops the charts this year when it comes to the country’s top party schools.
The school known in part for its football tailgate weekends and fraternity and sorority scene snatched the title away from last year’s winner, the University of Florida, which finished second in the 2009 Princeton Review survey of 122,000 students released Monday.
It’s the first time Penn State has finished first in the dubious category. The school has been on the list the last seven years, and finished third in 2008. The listing covers Penn State’s main University Park campus in State College.
The annual rankings also list the country’s “Stone-Cold Sober Schools.” Brigham Young University in Utah topped that list for the 12th straight year.
