Syracuse University Named Top Party School

Syracuse University moves to the top of the list. It's the #1 party school according to The Princeton Review's collage rankings. SU went from #5 last year to top spot.

SU officials are not happy with the ranking and released a statement:

'We do not aspire to be a party school. With new leadership, we are very focused on enhancing the student experience, both academically and socially. Students, parents, faculty and the full Syracuse University community should expect to see important and positive changes in the year ahead that will improve and enhance the student environment in every aspect.'

There is some good news for New York schools. Colgate was named Most Beautiful Campus, while St. Lawrence University was recognized for having the Most Liberal Campus.
