What are this year's top party schools?

Princeton Review is out with its list of the top party schools in the U.S. The list is based on student answers to surveys questioning the use of alcohol and drugs at their schools; the number of hours they study each day outside of class time; and the popularity of fraternities and sororities at their schools. To land on the party list, students at the schools reported a combination of low personal daily study hours outside of class; high usage of alcohol and drugs on campus; and high popularity on campus for fraternities and sororities.

The list includes reports from almost 14,000 college students from campuses across the country.
