University Of Delaware Makes List of Top 50 Party Schools in U.S.
44. College of Charleston
The Cistern at the College of Charleston
Charleston is a great town. It definitely has parts of it that feel like you’re in a small college town. But it also has parts that have the southern charm of a small town. Great food, great music, and great drinks.
40. University of Florida

Great weather, great college town, and a historically great athletic department (although it might be down right now).
38. University of Cincinnati

Cincinnati is a big metro area, so I knew there would be plenty of bars and restaurants. But the students at UC know how to party with the best of them.
36. University of Kansas

This was the scene after Kansas won the basketball national championship in 2022. Any student base that can create a scene like this has to know a thing or two about partying at an elite level.
35. James Madison University

JMU has been on the party scene for years. The campus is less than 100 miles from Washington DC, but still remote enough to have the college town feel.
24. Rutgers University- New Brunswick

Any student section that shows up in these numbers to support a well below average athletic department knows what they’re doing. Also being in New Jersey, they need to lift their spirits somehow.
