Playboy Ranks SMU, TCU Among Our Nation’s Top Party Universities

|

Via the Star-Telegram, learned this morning that Playboy magazine ranked Texas Christian University as the ninth-best party school among the nation’s institutions of higher learning. (the University of Virginia was No. 1).  “Sex, sports, and nightlife” were considered in the ranking.

TCU failed to make the party school cut on the recent Newsweek ranking, but as the Star-T puts it: “when it comes to ranking party schools, who would know better, Newsweek or Playboy?”

What I found even more interesting was that SMU was rated No. 1 in the country for nightlife. Says Playboy:

Tired of Solo cups of warm beer? At SMU, Dallas is your never-ending house party. The number of bars within Dallas County: around 2,000, including Idle Rich Pub, the campus hot spot that best describes the student body.

And this quote from a proud student:

“The bar scene at SMU definitely dominates everyone is all about going to the bar and balling out.” – Colton Moyer, International Studies, Class of 2013

Yep, SMU is Dallas’ team.
