The 20 Most Fun Colleges In America

Between exams, papers, and hours of studying, college can seem like all work and no play. But for many, it also means freeflowing alcohol and seemingly endless parties — and can end up being the best four years of your life.  We looked at 12 categories from The Princeton Review's 2015 college rankings to find the most fun colleges in the country, combining the rankings to determine which schools were the most fun overall. Based on our results, the typical "fun" school, is a large public university with a strong Greek system and competitive athletics.

Miami students always have somewhere to party, and are able to tailor their experience to whatever partying venue they prefer, whether it's a frat house or a local bar. #19 Auburn University Auburn, Alabama The home football games for Auburn, the Princeton Review's top Jock School, are packed with students shouting "War Eagle" — the school's battle cry. It's especially loud during the annual Iron Bowl against the University of Alabama, Auburn's top rival.  Before the game, hundreds of students come out to Auburn's huge tailgates, which are loaded with games, food, and, of course, beer.  #18 Bucknell University Lewisburg, Pennsylvania A small school with a large Greek scene, more than half of Bucknell's students are in a fraternity or sorority. With not much else to do in the surrounding area, students have social lives that are pretty much restricted to campus — where there is always a lot of alcohol and someone throwing a party.
