Who knew the midwest was such a hotbed for party schools? Students at Michigan State University might have, but the Princeton Review didn't seem to think the school has what it takes to be one of the top party schools in the country.

In its latest "The Best 380 Colleges" guide, the Princeton Review ranked the University of Illinois as the No. 1 party school in the nation. Filling out the top-three are fellow Big Ten schools the University of Iowa and the University of Wisconsin.

Here's the complete list:

1. University of Illinois
2. University of Iowa
3. University of Wisconsin
4. Bucknell University
5. Syracuse University
6. University of California-Santa Barbara
7. West Virginia University
8. University of Georgia
9. Tulane University
10. Colgate University

Illinois is famous for its "Tuesday Wine Nights" and allowing anyone 19-years-old and up into local bars, according to Time.
