美國(guó)大學(xué)派對(duì)狂歡哪家強(qiáng)？

The largest of the parties is an annual day of drinking called Unofficial, a St. Patrick’s Day celebration that was started by a local bar. The event included fatal accidents in 2001 and 2006. The university tries every year to keep the event under control, often beefing up police presence and, two years ago, even asking parents to help them tone down the partying.

伊利諾伊大學(xué)最大的派對(duì)要屬每年的飲酒日，被稱作Unofficial，這個(gè)派對(duì)由當(dāng)?shù)氐囊患揖瓢蔀閼c祝圣帕特里克節(jié)(St. Patrick’s Day)而發(fā)起。該活動(dòng)在2001年和2006年都曾釀成致命事故。校方每年都試圖控制活動(dòng)的局面，經(jīng)常增加現(xiàn)場(chǎng)的警力，兩年前甚至呼吁學(xué)生家長(zhǎng)幫助他們令派對(duì)收斂一些。

The Princeton Review’s publisher says the collection of lists is meant to paint a picture of life on campus at the schools it reviews, using students’ answers to a long series of questions about student life to create profiles, as well as lists for things such as partying, dorm life, sports, political persuasions and more.

《普林斯頓評(píng)論》出版商則說(shuō)，這一系列排行榜意在通過學(xué)生的反饋來(lái)描繪上榜學(xué)校的校園生活。學(xué)生們回答了一長(zhǎng)串有關(guān)學(xué)生生活的問題來(lái)創(chuàng)建資料以及包括派對(duì)、宿舍生活、運(yùn)動(dòng)、政治派別等方面的榜單。

“We have such a high regard for each of the 380 schools,” said publisher Robert Franek, whose review is not affiliated with Princeton University. “The University of Illinois, it is an exceptional school.”

《普林斯頓評(píng)論》與普林斯頓大學(xué)(Princeton University)并無(wú)關(guān)聯(lián)。其出版商羅伯特•弗蘭尼克(Robert Franek)表示：“我們非常敬重這380所大學(xué)，伊利諾伊大學(xué)是極為優(yōu)秀的學(xué)校。”

For those who don’t imbibe, the top stone-cold sober school is Brigham Young University (BYU), the private Utah school affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Tops for most religious students? That’s BYU, too.

對(duì)于那些不飲酒的學(xué)生來(lái)說(shuō)，最滴酒不沾的學(xué)校是楊百翰大學(xué)(Brigham Young University，BYU)。這所位于猶他州(Utah)的私立大學(xué)隸屬于耶穌基督后期圣徒教會(huì)(Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints)。對(duì)于最為虔誠(chéng)的教徒來(lái)說(shuō)首選的大學(xué)?還是楊百翰大學(xué)。

哪所學(xué)校學(xué)生滿意度最高?克萊蒙麥肯納學(xué)院(Claremont McKenna University)。有位在校生對(duì)《普林斯頓評(píng)論》提到自己最滿意的是“時(shí)常沐浴在加利福尼亞燦爛的陽(yáng)光里”。

派對(duì)排行榜，正如大多派對(duì)本身，都會(huì)隨著時(shí)間不停地變化。曾經(jīng)問鼎榜首的愛荷華大學(xué)(University of Iowa)今年位居第二。
