美国留学院校最强的Party School
伊利诺伊大学一共有23名校友获得诺贝尔奖,并且该校培养的科技精英们造就了YouTube、Netscape、Java和Yelp等著名公司。
The University of Illinois stakes claim to 23 Nobel Prize winners and tech prowess that contributed to the creation of YouTube, Netscape, Java and Yelp.
但这所位于伊利诺伊州中部的大学的学生并不是埋头苦读,他们也非常热衷于派对。近日,该校在《普林斯顿评论》所公布的年度派对大学排行榜中高居榜首。
But students at the central Illinois campus don’t just bury their heads in books, they also party — so much so that they’ve earned the top spot on The Princeton Review’s annual list of top party schools in the U.S., the college guide said Monday.
伊利诺伊大学最大、最隆重的派对要属为了庆祝圣帕特里克节(St. Patrick’s Day)而发起派对。也是每年的饮酒日,被称作Unofficial。该活动在2001年和2006年都曾酿成致命事故。校方每年都试图控制活动的局面,增加现场的警力,两年前还呼吁学生家长帮助他们令派对收敛一些。
The largest of the parties is an annual day of drinking called Unofficial, a St. Patrick’s Day celebration that was started by a local bar. The event included fatal accidents in 2001 and 2006. The university tries every year to keep the event under control, often beefing up police presence and, two years ago, even asking parents to help them tone down the partying.
爱荷华大学:像派对本身一样,派对排行榜也在随着时间不停地变化。曾经问鼎榜首的爱荷华大学今年位居第二。
The party rankings, like most parties themselves, change over time. The University of Iowa is a former No. 1, but came in at No. 2 this year.
其他排在前五名的派对学校依次是:
威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校(University of Wisconsin-Madison)
宾夕法尼亚州的巴克内尔大学(Bucknell University)
雪城大学(Syracuse University)
Rounding out the top five party schools are, in order: The University of Wisconsin-Madison, Bucknell University in Pennsylvania and last year’s No. 1, Syracuse University in New York.
