<p>*Stanford is not a party school. Where did this misconception originate from? *</p>
<p>I don’t think people are saying that Stanford is a stereotypical “party school.”</p>
<p>The OP’s question is about “Top schools” for a student who enjoys some partying. It would make sense that a Pac 10 football school would have some partying going on during home game weekends. </p>
<p>Are you saying that the campus is quiet - no tailgating - no partying - on game day weekends? </p>
<p>If so, why is there a market for these Stanford tailgating items and a tailgating parking map?</p>

<p>Do you think that only non-students are tailgating and partying?</p>
