Area colleges not only ranked on football teams

Whew!

A techno-glitch nearly caused me to miss The Princeton Review's new edition of "The Best 366 Colleges," plus its rankings of the Top 20 "Party" and "Stone-Cold Sober" schools.

My apologies to all you parents and students who may have been waiting for the party schools rankings before making that life-changing final decision on an institution of higher learning.

Kentucky and Indiana had one school in the Top 20 in the party and sober categories.

Berea College of Kentucky ranks 16th on the Top 20 list of sober schools...

...Transylvania University in Lexington, 11th as a "Major Frat and Sorority Scene."

Centre College in Danville, 16th, 18th and 19th, respectively, in "Professors Get High Marks," "Professors Make Themselves Accessible" and "Lots of Hard Liquor."

..."I see that Berea is on the 'Scotch-and-soda, (HOLD-the-Scotch) list,' " said [Princeton Review publicist Jeanne] Krier.

Berea College spokesman Tim Jordan said it's not all work and no play for students at the small, private, liberal-arts school, but Berea is content to leave the party school honors to someone else...

This from Byron Crawford at the Courier-Journal.
