Colleges: Which Is Best?

Which college do students consider the No. 1 party school this year? And where can undergraduates get the best overall academic experience? And at what college do the students say their professors suck all life from materials? The much-awaited Princeton Review rankings have these and many other interesting categories.

Sixty-five thousand students at each of the book's 331 colleges rated their own schools and reported on campus life on the survey. Only undergraduate, and not graduate, institutions are ranked.
