The Princeton Review has released their annual list of best party schools for 2012, and for the second year in a row an Athens based college has won, but this time it?s Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, displacing the University of Georgia in Athens, GA which
took the top spot in 2011. Not too many surprises on this year?s list, although I had no idea the University of Vermont was a hopping location, and as I mentioned last year I?m never surprised to see Ohio University ranked highly on these lists as it?s pretty well known in Ohio that?s where to go if you want to drink and party your way through undergrad. The Princeton Review puts together its list by polling over 122,000 students. This year, the Princeton Review also had lists for ?Stone Cold Sober? schools, which no surprise was topped by BYU and highly ranked several military academies.
