Top Party Colleges in Western New York

Here are the rankings of the biggest party schools in Western New York. In the entire state of New York, Syracuse University takes the cake. In the past, Syracuse has ranked #5 in the country before.

But, what about Western New York? Buffalo is no shortage of good-times. Here are the rankings for the best party colleges:

5.) Canisius

Canisius College would have been further in the rankings if they hadn't retired the infamous Quad Party. One of the most fun parties of the year and it didn't matter what school you went to--you wanted to be there. It was a massive party that spilled onto the streets. The Quad Party has been retired for about 10 years.

4.) Buff State

Buff State comes in at #4, taking over the spot from Canisius. The nightlife is always popping around Buff State. The party life at Buff State is like a mini UB.

3.) SUNY Fredonia

Fredonia. There is nothing like it. Sunny's. Coughlan's. Everyone has their party friends in high school and all of those people went to Fredonia.

2.) Meadille College

Who knows what it is about Meadille College, but those people know how to party. For such a 'small school', I've never seen kids party like that before. They all live in off-campus apartments and houses and know how to throw one. Of course, they're within walking distance of the train so they can head right downtown.

1.) University at Buffalo

There was no contest. No debate. No arguing. The University at Buffalo ranks as the #1 party school in Western New York. It hosts the largest Greek Life in this part of the state. From parties on Lisbon to Winspear and everything in between, the party life at UB is elite. Even if you spend most of your time at UB North, you know that UB South is where the parties are at. Without a doubt UB is the biggest party school in Western New York.
