I'd say this is actually a good thing that Ohio is dropping; shows today's students are concerned with more than just partying, like academics and the Bobcats!

And in case anyone's forgotten, 27 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm personally very disappointed, I busted my ass and wallet for 4 years to get us to No. 1.

I honestly could care less about our party school ranking. Seriously, what's the big deal? Almost every university is a party school. Let's pride ourselves on something other than drinking...

redhawk--really?

It's OHIO, Wisky and Austin--with the latter two battling for 2nd.  The rest are 2nd tier.

Perhaps if we expanded Court Street, we could achieve a better ranking.

It's because we don't have our IPF yet and our Classics Department is underfunded.

You all realize that these rankings are based on student surveys right and are therefore completely based on self perception.  Students at these top party schools pride themselves on being high in the rankings and so they embellish or at a minimum are more truthful compared to those who don't value the party school image and downplay their social life.

Surveys analyzing your own behavior often result in answers that are more about what you WANT to be rather than what you ARE.
