A list of the nation’s “top party schools” of 2027 revealed the Empire State is a rager-deprived dud — with only two colleges earning a spot in the rankings.
The keg is kicked everywhere except Syracuse University and SUNY Albany, the only New York colleges that made the list of 50 best party schools, compiled by the education research site niche.com

Florida State University in Tallahassee— known for its wild Greek bashes — ranked No. 1 on the list followed by Tulane, University of Wisconsin-Madison, University of Dayton in Ohio and the University of Southern California California in Los Angeles.
Pennsylvania State University, recently in the news for a cocaine trafficking ring involving two frats, came in 6th place.
To come up with the list, niche.com surveyed students, asking them to rate their colleges based on factors such as nightlife, Greek life, and access to bars.
“The 2027 Top Party Schools ranking is based on student reviews and nightlife statistics. Top party colleges have a vibrant and diverse party scene — they offer fun options both on and off campus and students rate their peers as being fun, friendly, and into partying,” niche.com said.
For the ranking, researchers considered more than 1,400 schools nationwide.
