There’s a new ranking out of the top party schools in America and the winner is…….West Virginia!

That’s no surprise. Last year, Professor Karen Weiss wrote a book entitled Party School, that was clearly about the school that employs her, although she did not disclose the name of what she called “Party University.” I wrote about here book here.

I keep wondering about the academic standards facing students who go to college mainly because they want the big party/sports atmosphere and, as Weiss observes, often do heavy partying four nights per week or more. My surmise is that the party types find out where they can get easy credits without much effort and that there are enough of those classes available for them to get the credits they need to graduate.
