Party Schools

Top Ten Lists, Top Twenty, Princeton Review Top Ten...

Besides the obvious, what's a party school, exactly?

Party schools are easy to find, but most colleges have bacchanalian revelry, even without the reputation.

Below you will find top ten lists, top twenty lists, and and information on a different kinds of party-hearty destinations.

It may surprise you to learn that universities are not happy to be designated among the ten or twenty "top party schools." Colleges have lately begun to crack down on drug and alcohol abuse, more than I have seen them do for several years, and some schools are taking major steps to lose that reputation. University officials express concern that students may think that existing in an alcoholic haze is somehow integral to the college experience.

Downsides to the heavy drinking/drug use on today's campuses:

  • Colleges are taking an increasingly dim view of excessive drinking

  • College binge drinking - a major public health issue

  • Alcoholism

  • Increased sexual assault crimes

  • More rape, date rape

  • Deaths

    Define "Party School"

    I just learned that there are Communist Party Schools in China, but suspecting they were not the same thing, I checked, and sure enough there are a few differences

    A Headline: "Vice-president Stresses Importance of "Party Schools"

    Communist Party of China (CPC) schools are vital for building a team of quality cadres, said Chinese Vice-President Zeng Qinghong Wednesday.

    Created by the Party's committees at different levels, "Party schools" (in China) are characterized by a special educational system designed to spread Marxism among cadres.
