Number One Party School

Hosted by
This year, The Princeton Review named Penn State the #1 party school in America. It's a rotating crown - last year it was University of Florida, before that it was West Virginia University. So we wondered: What is it like to be the country's top party school? This American Life producers spent a recent football weekend at Penn State to figure this out. There, we learned the definition of "fracket" (think frat plus jacket); the best way to clean up beer cans after a big party (snow shovel); and how hard it is to get college kids to drink less (really hard).
