Back To School News: Top Party Schools List For 2015 Released By Playboy Magazine; Ohio University Ranked Number 1 Party School; Talk About Higher Education

Back To School News Update: Kids, maybe you better send your parents out of the room for this before you get your guidance counselor to sign off on these college applications. Playboy Magazine just released its list of the 2015 Top Party Schools and it put Ohio University at #1.

KpopStarz, of course, reminds you that studying is very important, but so is your off time. Playboy magazine released its highly-anticipated list of the nation's top party schools, with Ohio University taking the number one spot. 

This is the first time Ohio has taken top honors and the fourth time the school has been included in the magazine's much-talked-about rankings.

This year's list was determined by the magazine's editors who considered a variety of factors in their selection process, including access to nightlife and musical events, and creativity when planning social gatherings.

A reader's poll and feedback from Playboy's more than 28 million social media fans were also considered, along with information from the National Center for Education Statistics, the NCAA, and the US Economic Census. 

The last time Playboy published its "Top Party Schools" list was in the magazine's October 2014 issue. Back then, the University of Pennsylvania crowned as number one.

Playboy's first party school list, "Top 40 Party Colleges," appeared in its January 1987 issue, with California State University-Chico taking the top spot. 

Party school rankings have also appeared in the magazine's November 2002, May 2006, May 2009, May 2010, May 2011, October 2012, and October 2013 issues.

The  complete list of "Playboy's Top Party Schools 2015," will be featured in the magazine's October 2015 issue.

The issue will hit newsstands and iPlayboy.com Friday, September 18.
