Which is the biggest party school - Tech, JMU, or UVA?

[Anonymous]

I don’t mean party school in the derogatory sense, as in kids aren’t serious about their studies as well - but more in the sense that partying is a ubiquitous part of the culture

JMU

I’d say JMU for sure. UVA is probably second, but very much a work hard/party hard culture.

VA Tech don’t know enough about it. Only kids I know there don’t go out and don’t find it very social but I doubt they are the consensus.

UVA. Polos and pearls.

Tech is extremely social and there are lots of parties. Don’t know if I would place it as top of the three though.

I would agree with JMU. I've had two kids go there, both not big drinkers, and both found that to be an issue

This is so not accurate anymore, can you stop perpetuating? No they don’t “dress” for football games and no the girls don’t wear Lily Pulitzer and pearls.

They looked like students at any other school when we visited.

Same here for my DD. And we are drinkers, have no problem with the kids partying responsibly at college -- not pearl clutchers about it. JMU is over the top.

Lots of coke at JMU. (On the rise at all schools though.)
