New list: The top party colleges in New Jersey
You want your child to attend a college that has a solid staff of professors and a good track record of preparing students for a successful career after graduation.
But your kid may not be into that boring stuff.
Niche, the online review website that's always pumping out lists about the best colleges and school districts in the Garden State, is now out with a 2024 list of the "top party schools" (colleges and universities) in New Jersey.
Nine institutions in New Jersey received a "party scene" grade of a B+ or better, based on Niche's criteria.
