The Princeton Review just dropped its annual pile of in-depth college rankings. All of the lists — which rank schools by everything from “Best Dorms” to “”Most Politically Active Students” — are available in their book, The Best 379 Colleges: 2015 Edition, while a few select lists are now available online.
Let’s jump right to the category with the most bragging rights: Best Party Schools. Syracuse takes home the top spot this year, crashing a list traditionally dominated by state schools. Iowa, Cal-Santa Barbara, those couch burners at West Virginia, and Illinois round out the top five.
