<p>Of the top schools, which one(s) is/are generally known to have the best parties, the best connections (as in, connected to people you can eventually get jobs from), and generally speaking a good social atmosphere for its students.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

The top private schools.
ASU, SDSU, UW-Madison are known as party schools. Among privates - can’t say! I’d aim for the schools in the major cities that’s a medium-sized university for some more diversity at least.
Schools in the major cities - distinctly metropolitan and with access to venues, culture, night-life and so on.</p>
<p>Highly accredited? How highly? Top 50? 30? 25? 15?</p>
<p>The answers you were given are pretty accurate… CU-Boulder is often thought of as one of the “top school” party schools…moderately difficult admissions policies (not for people here, but for the average student) and certainly one of the top party schools…
but generally, if a school is well-known as a party school, post-UG programs (i.e., professional schools, grad schools, etc.) are going to know that and may look to candidates from other, stereotypically more serious schools when you tie with another candidate for that last position in a program!
It’s kind of a give-and-take game.</p>
<p>USC kinda fits that mold.</p>
<p>DUKE all the way.</p>
<p>Any one of the five service academies are both highly accredited and you get a great bunch of connections and alumni association once you leave.</p>
<p>Having a social life on the inside though, that is another matter</p>
<p>wisconsin and texas are both good.</p>
<p>Tulane 10characters</p>
<p>Princeton is pretty good in all regards. Some of the clubs have great parties.</p>
<p>UNC Chapel Hill in both accounts. Great social life and the Tarheel bond is super strong!</p>
<p>WUSTL</p>
<p>You can party all night long if you want to, but with the tough academics most likely you will have to limit yourself.</p>
<p>I’l have to say Rice.</p>
<p>Tulane, USC, UVA, UC-Santa Barbara, SMU, UPenn (not a “party” school but fun for an ivy), Texas, Michigan, Wisconsin, Vanderbilt, etc.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Rice is hands-down the least fun school I’ve ever gone to to try to “party” at. . .and I went to Brown for a semester!</p>
<p>Seconding UNC-Chapel Hill also.</p>
<p>I would also agree with USC. You have greek life, nightclubs in LA, and top rank academics and alumni connections.</p>
<p>Although SDSU and UCSB is a party school, you really do not get much alumni networking.</p>
<p>barrons is right about Princeton. You can go party and drink every night of the week at the clubs if you really want, and clearly the alumni network is great.</p>
<p>How the greek life at SDSU? is it better than at USC?</p>
<p>Which school would you recommend? I’m so confused…</p>
<p>Um, isn’t The University of Mississippi the #1 party school? It’s either that or West Virginia.</p>
<p>SOUTHERN METHODIST UNIVERSITY definitely. For those of you in the south, it’s big on parties and social/greek life. It also has a large number of students who are of the elite upperclass status whose parents or relatives or acquaintances ofr whatever have high positions in the corporate world–great for connections and employment opportunities in the corporate world. Also being located in the wealthy part of Dallas doesn’t hurt :]</p>
<p>Duke, UVA, Vandy, Florida, Southern Cal, Texas, Wisc-Madison</p>
<p>etc</p>
