Princeton Review College Rankings 2016: Stone Cold Sober School is BYU 18th Year Running
For the 18th year in a row, Brigham Young University (BYU) is The Princeton Review's most sober school in the nation.
As they have done so many times before, BYU celebrated the distinction as a testament to their strict student conduct policy. This year, as the school stated on its Twitter account, the current streak is long as its incoming freshmen are old.
