Princeton Review has released on Monday its most recent ranking of colleges nationwide, in various categories, from the best professors to best party schools or happiest students.

The University of Florida can celebrate yet another national title: best party school in the country. Dancing the title away from West Virginia University and winning in front of the University of Mississippi and Penn State University, Florida’s students can throw another party to mark a label they acquired doing what they do best: gathering, having fun and grooving, especially after national championships in basketball or football.

Although the University of Florida has been present on the top 20 party school list throughout the past 15 years, it has never been number one. A university spokesman said the party school status is due to the school’s athletic successes. The Gators won two national basketball championships in 2006 and 2007 and one national football title at the end of the 2006 season.

“The fact that we have three national championships in two years is probably a major contributing factor,” spokesman Steve Orlando said, as cited by the Associated Press. “We know our students like to have a good time,” he added.

What’s more, Florida also claimed the first spot in this year’s categories of students who study the least and students who pack the stadiums.

On the other hand, the annual Princeton Review rankings also keep a record of the nation’s “Stone-Cold Sober Schools.” The leader of the list was Utah’s Brigham Young University for the 11th year in a row.

The annual guide, “The Best 368 Colleges,” also categorizes schools on scores from 60 to 99 founded on admissions, financial aid, plus a fresh category called the Green rating, which examines colleges to some extent in what concerns their environmentally friendly habits.
