<p>Which Ivy of the 8 is the biggest party school? The LEAST?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>If I had to guess I would say the biggest is Brown (POSSIBLY Penn) and the least is Princeton. I could be completely wrong though</p>

<p>Princeton the least? Are you kidding me? They had to shut down the eating clubs for admit weekends last year so the pfrosh wouldn't get drunk. :p</p>
<p>penn, brown and dartmouth most.
cornell least.</p>
<p>Most - Dartmouth and Brown are tied
Least - Cornell, maybe Columbia?</p>
<p>does Cornell really party the least? a girl at my school got accepted there and said that they have a pretty dominant greek scene.</p>
<p>My rankings:
1) Dartmouth, Penn, Princeton
2) Brown
3) Cornell, Yale
4) Harvard
Distant 5) Columbia</p>
<p>Note- Here's my experience level with these.
Dartmouth - Attended
Princeton - Visited two weekends
Brown - Visited 5-6 weekends
Penn - Visited Once (Spring Fling)
Harvard - Visited 5-6 times
Yale - Visted three times
Columbia - Attended for a year and for grad school</p>
<p>Columbia may not have frat parties too often, but you've got all the nightclubs of NYC.</p>
<p>Cornell has a Greek presence</p>
<p>Largest party scene to least:</p>
<p>1) Dartmouth
2) Penn
3) Princeton
4) Brown
5) Cornell
6) Yale
7) Columbia
8) Harvard</p>
<p>Looking at other comparable schools, I'd put Duke after Dartmouth but just ahead of Penn. Stanford would be further down the list, probably between Cornell and Yale. MIT would be last.</p>
<p>I can't believe you guys are ranking the party scenes at Ivies. Have any of you actually been to parties? Much less college parties? Take that a step further... parties at colleges other than your own?</p>
<p>i'm with shizz. There are alot of stupid assumptions being made here. The only people whose opinion should be valued are those at an ivy league school and/or have many friends at another ivy league school that they often visit or talk to and are at least a sophmore in college. </p>
<p>Cornell has a big party scene. Over 50 frats on campus can't be wrong. It's a work hard/play hard atmosphere. </p>
<p>though (based on discussions from my friends at other ivy's) Penn seems to be the biggest party ivy.</p>
<p>Cornell has a decent party scene for sure - but its less so than the ones higher ranked on my personal list where a much larger percentage of the student body goes out. I think it should be a step higher on my list than Yale though.</p>
<p>Ivy party schools, can anyone say oxymoron!!</p>
<p>Can anyone say come-to-Princeton-and-you-discover-what-partying-is? We party in our rooms. For free. We then go and party in mansions. Almost everyday. For free. Then we party again in one of the many beautiful suites on campus. Lingerie parties, pirate parties, southern decadence parties, viking parties...everything you could think of. For free. Best of all, it's rarely playing the awkwardly-standing-around-with-an-empty-cup-with-sad-techno-music-playing game. You'd never guess you were at Princeton University...</p>
<p>I love this place.</p>
<p>Props to Penn as well. The only other Ivy besides Penn I've been to has been Yale, and...I wasn't all that impressed, but it could've been a bad night.</p>
<p>Princeton, Penn, and Dartmouth know how to party...Brown isn't so bad. Columbia? Horrible...</p>
<p>parties are free at Cornell too!</p>
<p>slipper - i think you're right when you say cornell might have the smallest percentage of students going out to party hard, but this is offset by the fact that it's still the largest ivy so 50% of the students at Cornell going out is equal in number to 100% of the kids at harvard going out (note: for all of you number whores out there, i've only estimated the numbers to illustrate a point). </p>
<p>note: there was a little "fun fact" in the Cornell Daily Sun today: "Harvard has to pay its undergraduates to throw parties. But they do serve Grey Goose vodka."</p>
<p>"I can't believe you guys are ranking the party scenes at Ivies. Have any of you actually been to parties? Much less college parties? Take that a step further... parties at colleges other than your own?"</p>
<p>I have been to most of the schools I listed. And I know people at all of these schools. It's my opinion, which is what the original poster ultimately was seeking. And lists are fun :-P</p>
<p>Honestly the best Ivy parties are as fun as any other parties out there.</p>
