Penn State named top party school

We're No. 1 ... We're No. 1 ... We're No. 1

Academics? Get real. Why do kids go off to college? To party, of course.

Penn State University finds itself on top of the annual survey of top party schools in the nation.

PSU took the top spot away from last year's winner, the University of Florida, which finished second in the 2009 Princeton Review survey of 122,000 students.

This is the first time PSU has reached the coveted No. 1 spot. The schoo's previous high was No. 3 in the 2008 survey.

As a Penn State alum, I can't tell you how proud I am about my alma mater.
