The 20 Most Fun Colleges In America

Higher education is certainly an opportunity to study and learn, but college can also be the most fun four years in someone's life. There's good reason for this - college is a time of seemingly endless parties, a constant supply of alcohol, and cherished sports teams to cheer on with fellow students.

In order to find the most fun colleges in the country, we looked at 12 categories from The Princeton Review's 2015 college rankings, combining the rankings to determine the most overall fun schools in the country.

Many of the schools that made our list share common traits. The typical "fun" school, based on our results, is a large public university with a strong Greek life and competitive athletics.

This is not to say that these colleges are all play and no work. Many of these schools were nationally ranked for their academics as well.

Clemson University was our number one most fun college, but only appeared on five of the 12 Princeton Review lists we considered. However, while not the number one school in any category, Clemson placed in the top three on every list it was included on, including Students Love These Colleges, Happiest Students, and Students Pack The Stadiums.
