BYU named top ‘stone-cold sober school’ once again

PROVO, Utah — It may come as a surprise, but Brigham Young University has once again grabbed the top sober spot in Princeton Review’s 2014 edition of “The Best 378 Colleges.”

This is the 16th year in a row that BYU has claimed the stone-cold sober crown. The second place honor goes to Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois, and coming in at third is the U.S. Naval Academy located in Annapolis, Maryland.

On the other end of the spectrum, West Virginia University was rated the No. 1 party school in the nation. University of Iowa and Ohio University came in at second and third.

Both lists were compiled based on surveys completed by 122,000 students from across the nation. The students answered 80 questions about academics, administration, campus life, student body and themselves.
