For incoming freshmen interested in four years of solid partying, it's not to late to transfer over to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The university was named the nation's top party school by the Princeton Review, in their annual ranking.
U of I dethroned 2015's top party school, Syracuse University, to claim its first time at the top of the list since Princeton Review launched the category in 1993. Way to go, Illinois -- Abe Lincoln would be proud.
The top five party schools are as follows:
1. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
2. University of Iowa
3. University of Wisconsin-Madison
4. Bucknell University
5. Syracuse University
Keep pushing, Iowa. You'll get there eventually.
Heading up the sober-front is Brigham Young University -- named the top "Stone-Cold Sober School" in the nation for the 18th straight year. BYU takes pride in their apparent complete lack of parties, posting a cheeky response on the school's official Facebook page.

That's now 18 years running. For most of the freshman class, we've held the title their entire lives!Posted by BYU (Brigham Young University) on Monday, August 3, 2015
For those not particularly interested in partying or sobriety, Vanderbilt University nabbed the top spot on the "Happiest Students" ranking.
