Mardi Gras at Tulane

Palmer Fest at Ohio University

Palmer Fest at Ohio University If having a house catch on fire and a SWAT team is called in is not a qualifier for one of the craziest college parties, I don't know what is. Ohio University is known as a top party school in the nation, so when it comes time to celebrate Palmer Fest, these students pull out all of the stops. It also helps that there is actually no reason for this fest besides the desire to get belligerent.

State Patty’s Day at Penn State

State Patty’s Day at Penn State As a Penn State student, I can personally assure that State Patty’s Day is one of the most insane college parties in the nation. This past year, the school actually paid the bars around $5,000 each to not sell alcohol on State Patty’s Day. But that didn't stop the students. They found tons of other ways to celebrate in green. Even after cops and the school trying to prevent this holiday from happening every year, it doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon.

College is a time to let loose and party with your friends. But these craziest college parties take it to a whole new level. Have you been to any of these notorious college parties? Does your school have any party traditions? Why do you think these parties get so wild and over the top?

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

Generally, I try to not critique a few grammar issues, however, this article appears to have been written quickly.... You have Ohio State listed under Wisconsin-Dells, provide no explanation of what OSU Palmer Fest actually is and for "State Paddy's Fest" you have a photo of girls in Bavarian, Oktoberfest attire.... Not the best I have seen published on here.

University of Iowa was ranked the number one party school- not Iowa state! You've stated the wrong facts.

Also Kansas State Fake Pattys day is huge. Should've included us, I was disappointed
