WSU No. 16 On Playboy Party List

Once again, Washington State University has made a national list of top party schools. This time, WSU came in at No. 16 on Playboy Magazine's periodic ranking. It was No. 18 on the 2002 list, and has been included in the Princeton Review's list in previous years. "It doesn't trouble me at all," WSU Vice President for Equity and Diversity Mike Tate said of the ranking, noting his belief that the university should be known for its academic programs, not partying. "We know who we are and we know what we are as a university." But WSU has suffered from an increasing level of alcohol-fueled assaults and accidents in recent months, Pullman Police Commander Chris Tennant said. "Assault cases are going up," Tennant said. "We're seeing more and more broken bones and facial injuries"/Joel Mills, Lewiston Tribune. More here.

Question: Did you attend a party school? (My alma mater, Chico State, is No. 20, after being No. 2 in 2002.) Is it some to be proud/ashamed of?
