You'll probably hear this from various sources but the Princeton
Review has released its latest rankings of colleges/universities, with
most of the media focusing on the "best party school".  One article on
the Princeton Review study/book is provided on Yahoo -- see:

Oh, and University of Texas-Austin is the top party school.

The Princeton Review has more info on its website though it does

Personal Reflection:  there appears to be a category entitled "Dorms
are like Dungeons".  I laughed out loud at this, in part, because my
grad school alma mater, SUNY-Stony Brook was listed #16.  
I remember the first day I registered into my dorm complex 
(affectionately known at that time as "Stage XII" -- which seemed 
perfectly consistent with other aspects of the campus, such as the 
"Bridge to Nowhere" which was supposed to connect the student 
union to the library but was left unfinished, literally ending in the air, 
for a decade or two -- this seemed to be a literal metaphor for the 
school).  I went into my dorm room for the first time and I noticed 
that the window arrangement was somewhat strange and the entire 
set-up felt strange and uncomfortable.  Later I learned that "Stage XII" 
was designed by an architectural firm that previous had designed/built 
prisons for NY state.  It's interesting to see that on Princeton Review's 
"Dorms are like Dungeons" list there are four SUNY schools.  I guess 
the designers of "Stage XII" might have been used on other campuses.
