Playboy: UVA Is Nation's Top Party School

Thomas Jefferson would be proud.

Jefferson's brainchild, the University of Virginia, is the nation's top party school, according to Playboy. UVA ranked above all the others in Playboy's three quality indices: sex life, nightlife, and sporting life. The magazine took "America's top 100 colleges" and ranked them across 900 data points in the three categories, and UVA came out on top.

"The Cavaliers place an uninspiring 16th in sports but more than made up for it in nightlife and sex, finishing number three and number two, respectively," says Playboy. "According to our math, two plus three equals one. Party on!"
