Monday, the Princeton Review released their annual list of the top 10 party schools, and Brigham Young University (BYU) ranked number one on the “stone cold sober schools,” while the University of Georgia (UGA) ranked number one as the best party school in the country. UGA also ranked second in the Princeton Review’s subcategory of “lots of hard liquor”.
BYU in Provo, Utah also ranked number one for having the most religious students, and ranked number three for having the most conservative students in the US.
