This year marks the first time Illinois has taken the top spot on the annual party rankings, released Monday by Princeton Review to go with the publishing of their new "Best 380 Colleges" book.

UIUC did not provide comment.

Rankings are determined through a survey administered to 136,000 students at 380 top colleges to produce 62 different lists. Students are asked 80 questions about their school's academics, administration, student body and themselves, according to the Princeton Review.
