Is your child’s college one of the Top 20 party schools? Are you worried about them partying while they are at school?
If your child is a student at the University of South Carolina, they’re matriculating at a Top 20 party school. For the second straight year, Princeton Review has ranked the University of South Carolina among the top 20 party schools. West Virginia tops this year’s “party” school list with Morgantown’s West Virginia University. Officials from West Virginia University do not seem too fond of their new title. WVU officials released a statement stating the study and ranking “has no real credibility”.
Last year’s number one party school was Ohio University. The University of South Carolina came in at number 17 on the list, up three spots from last year’s number 20 ranking.
