Law School Party Rankings

By Gordon Smith, Christine, Hurt, Vic Fleischer, Fred Tung, Lisa Fairfax, David Zaring

All you need to know about these rankings is that BYU and the University of Chicago are tied ... and there are 11 of 102 schools below them.

Ok, maybe that's not all. Also, BYU has the "most dateable student body" (tied with, among others, Yale?), even though half of our students (just a guess ... maybe I should have written "a lot" instead of "half") are married. And BYU is tops in one other category: least alcohol consumption. That makes sense, but what is going on at Rutgers-Newark? Not much alcohol drinking, apparently.

The only T-14 school ranking below Chicago on the overall party rankings? Penn.

The least dateable student body -- determined by survey questions relating to "attractiveness, douchebagginess, bitchiness, 'just friends'-iness, and personal dating success"? Well, I will let you look for yourself on this one.

And for those who cannot see a survey without thinking about correlations, here is one off the cuff: the school with the highest overall party ranking is ASU, which also has the happiest students, while the school with the lowest overall party ranking is Baylor, which also has the unhappiest students.
