The study comes from BonusFinder.com, which conducted a study to find the biggest cities in the world. "As there are as many party preferences as there are partiers, we have included a variety of cities from across the country to cater to every taste," the study reads. "From the casino floors of MGM Grand in Vegas to Atlantic City's Borgata, and from the beaches of California to the rooftop bars of the East Coast, we have compiled a comprehensive list to choose from."
They add that for the best party cities, the Top 10 were pretty much filled with Florida towns. That's with the exception of a few. Of course, the few towns that made it in the top 10 that weren't in Florida offered other fun stuff. For example, gambling and exciting entertainment options were on the tally.
Before we get to Michigan, note that No. 1 on the list for all of America is Atlantic City, New Jersey. It has an overall party score of 10/10. "The coastal resort city, known as 'mini-Vegas' or 'America's Playground,' is mainly associated with its buzzing casinos and the world-famous Boardwalk," they state. "Despite its popularity, the city's hotel prices have stayed low with an average cost of $116 per night. Placing on top of our list of party cities, the best part of AC? There is no last call at the bar, so the partying doesn’t have to stop."

No. 48 on the tally is Grand Rapids, Michigan. I would have thought Detroit! Actually, Detroit comes in at No. 76 on the list, so respectable, but not as high as I would have put it. There are plenty of great things to do in Detroit. Anyway, find the full list here.
Picking the right college to attend is a daunting task. I remember going through the process, and it wasn't easy, although living close to one of the biggest universities in the country made it a bit easer, as I picked Michigan State University.
Some students really want to have fun in college. I mean, having fun is important, but my little bit of advice is to pick a school that has a good record in your chosen program and where you think you'll be able to grow both academically and socially.
That said, the staff at Barstool Sports has put together a list of the Top 50 Party Schools in the country. I don't really see a metric behind why these schools were chosen, but Barstool is known for their party-happy web content, so they must have done some kind of research. As it turns out, Michigan has two of the top party schools in the U.S. Michigan comes in at No. 39 on the list, and Michigan State is No. 27. I actually think both schools have great academics, too, so maybe the mantra is work hard, play hard.
My buddy Joe Winner over at ESPN Florida first posted this story, noting that this is quite a comprehensive list. Read on for the full scoop on the top 50 party schools in the U.S., and best of luck in your college search!
