The University of Iowa may top the list of the nation's top party schools but the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign isn't far behind.
Illinois' flagship university comes in at number three on the list that The Princeton Review released on Monday.
The list is determined by a nationwide survey.
The campus' party reputation is enhanced by a single annual event, Unofficial St. Patrick's Day or, simply, Unofficial.
It's when thousands converge for a day of drinking at parties and in bars.
Local police ticket hundreds every year.
Students age 19 can enter bars in Champaign and age 18 in Urbana.
