The top 15 party schools in the US, ranked
West Virginia University also made it to the top 10, after Niche named it the ninth-best party school in the US.
Located in Morgantown, the school’s social life is shaped by Mountaineers athletics, Greek life, and campus traditions. Its Greek community hosts more than 70 social, professional, academic, service, interest-based, and honorary fraternal organizations, per the school.
“West Virginia University is a big school with a lot to offer for many different people,” one student wrote on Niche. “I would recommend it to someone who is willing to go out of their way to find their community. Due to the size and party nature of the school, it can be easy to feel isolated if you don’t fit in with the average WVU student. Otherwise, the nature and campus are beautiful, and the academics are great.”
Another student on the site highlighted the school’s other “types of fun ways to spend the night that don’t have to involve alcohol” like the free, late-night UpAllNight event hosted by the school every weekend over the fall and spring semesters, which puts on free events like game shows, bingo, trivia, bowling, billiards, and other activities for students who want to party without the alcohol.
