Playboy's TOP 10 Party Schools

Each year, Playboy Magazine ranks its top ten party schools based on criteria that includes a "bikini index." The University of Texas took 2010's top spot -- Playboy writes: "When you add up academics, the weather, the liberal atmosphere, South by Southwest, game day and the nightlife on Sixth Street, UT Austin is one heck of a school."

Here's a look at the other schools that embody the "study hard, party harder" motto.

A lot of those photos looked like the kind of fun one SHOULD be having in college. I don't think that qualifies as "partying" Playboy-st­yle.

Did not know Playboy knew anything about colleges given that their employees have never been to one.

Christie Hefner graduated summa cum laude from Brandeis University with a Bachelors degree in English and American literature in 1974. She was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in her junior year.

My Alma Mater used to be the best, but then some girl's parents launched WW3 on the school.

We've slipped. A number of years ago Playboy didn't rank Wisconsin, but gave us an asterisk, saying we were excluded because they felt it was unfair to compare a profession­al with amateurs.

Yep and sadly, State Street ain't what it used to be either.

Just a note: Ohio University has been enshrined in the party school hall of fame, that's why we're not on the list...

And yet somehow many go on to become fine upstanding members of society. I'll be your first fan, fellow Bobcat.

I'm getting my master's at UT- and its pretty sweet, I love my program. I probably won't be staying too long after that though.

Austin is great, the rest of the state? not to much.

Don't really think you have too much to worry about.

He does when the UC system (or the state itself) basically collapses. The fine people of California­, with their penchant for direct democracy and highly-pol­arized bipartisan politics, are well on their way to ensuring that this happens.

Miami? Rollins? Those aren't even in the Top Three party schools in Florida!

Agreed. FSU and UF have everyone beat. Florida should also be high on the "Douchiest­" list, too.
