University of Florida students! You guys have finally funneled enough beers and set enough pieces of dorm furniture on fire while celebrating NCAA championships to earn the title of No. 1 party school in America! The honor, courtesy of the Princeton Review's annual survey, comes after years of hard work—the Gators had cracked the top 20 each of the past 15 years, but never finished first until this year. A spokesperson for the university defended the school, noting that the typical incoming freshman has a 4.1 weighted GPA and got a 1300 on the SATs, though high school academic diligence may not transfer at the university level: Florida also finished first in the category of "students who studied the least." Says one student: "With a lot of people on campus, fun things happen." The Gators are a perceptive batch!
For the 11th straight year, Brigham Young, the Mormon school where no one drinks, smokes, does drug, has sex, or partakes in any behavior otherwise associated with the college demographic, topped the Review's "Stone-Cold Sober Schools" list.
