The Princeton Review should stop publishing an annual ranking of top ?party schools? because it ignores the risks of heavy drinking and offers a skewed view of college life, the American Medical Association says.

The college admissions and test-preparation company ?should be ashamed to publish something for students and parents that fuels the false notion that alcohol is central to the college experience,? said Richard Yoast, director of the AMA's Office of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse.

The Review puts out its ?Best Colleges? guide every August based on a survey given randomly to tens of thousands of students. Students rate their own schools in 63 categories, with the ?party? designation based on consumption of alcohol and marijuana and other criteria. The result includes rankings in categories such as ?Lots of Beer? and ?Hard Liquor.?

My guess is the survey and it's responses are questionable. You can't trust inebriated college students to answer a survey correctly and objectively....

Agreed. They should de-emphasize alcohol, and instead emphasize the things that matter: Boy/girl ratios, proportions of "hotties" vs. general population, local nightlife, orgies...

The ranking of party schools gives parents and students a list of schools to avoid if they're serious about their academic career. Getting rid of it is a bad idea.

Yeah, that gives nerds and ugly people a good list of places not to go.

Heh, I'm crabby because I have to work at 8am on a Sunday. Oh well. Sorry if I offend - but I can't yell at coworkers or customers because then I won't get promoted.

Heck the one college guide I had a long time ago rated colleges and universities based on how popular things like LSD and mushrooms were.
