WVU MOVING BACK UP AS PARTY SCHOOL

(08/03/2010)
West Virginia University has taken its usual place among the top party schools in the nation.

After dropping to 6th place last year, the Princeton Review returned the school to 4th place. The school has been at the top of the list since 2007.

The University of Georgia is the No. 1 party school on its now infamous annual ranking.

The ranking is based on e-mail surveys of 122,000 students at more than 370 colleges across the country.

The survey has responses on alcohol and drug use on campus, hours spent studying outside class and the popularity of fraternities and sororities.

Colleges dismiss the rankings as unscientific and complain the annual list glorifies dangerous behavior.

Brigham Young University topped the list of "Stone-Cold Sober Schools" for the 12th straight year.
