The 10 Schools Where Students Study The Least: Princeton Review List
Hate studying? Who likes it?
Our pals at the Princeton Review recently named some of the least studious schools in the country. The University of North Dakota topped the list, with Maryland's Salisbury University coming in second.
Check out our slide show of the list below. Then tell us, do you think these schools are the least studious in the nation? Weigh in below!

Doesn't surprise me a bit. When the professors discourage, openly mock and punish any conservative notion in the classroom setting, what else is to follow?
I am a Die Hard Conservative, and I went to school there and actual had a ton of like minded professors.
I saw this a couple weeks ago in the daily times, and wondered really what this test proves. I don't really consider it slam on the schools academics. I believe I heard that currently it is the hardest MD State School to get into.
The article did not mention how they arrived at this conclusion--what data did they use? And couldn't Princeton Review (a fraudulent racket in of itself) find a picture to use instead of a historical marker? Just another load of crap from a liberal entity.
I went to SU and I very rarely studied. I came out w/ a Master's in English.
You failed to mention Un. of MD, College Park was 10th.
Students Study the Most
Students Study the Least
Both lists are based on students' answers to the survey question: "How many out-of-class hours do you spend studying each day?"
The Princeton Review's 62 college rankings are "top 20" lists entirely based on the company's survey of students attending the 376 colleges in its book, The Best 376 Colleges.
For the rankings lists in the 2012 edition, published August 2011, The Princeton Review surveyed just over 122,000 students at the 376 schools in the book (not at all schools nationwide). On the 80-question survey, students were asked to rate their own schools on various topics and report on their campus experiences at them.

totally depends on your major...
Party on, Wayne!
Party on, Garth!
I busted my behind at SSC (name then). The professors I had were very demanding. I don't agree with this at all.
SU is becoming quite the party school with all of its off campus housing. Alcohol is easily attainable for underage kids. I probably drank more before I was 21 than after. After a few years of working, I am back at SU finishing my degree, now with a husband and child. All I hear between students walking around campus is chit chat about how drunk they got over the weekend, what kind of "boy" they want (their first mistake is wanting a boy and not a man lol), and other non sense. Very few students seem to be dedicated to their classes. I think I notice it more now that I am not of that same mind set. It's amazing the conversations these students have in public.
Of course it depends on your major but SU does have quite a reputation as a party school. It is also way overrated.
Oh, is there a party school in Salisbury? I didn't realize it was still 1988.
Grow up, people. You're a fool if you don't think EVERY KID between age 17-23 isn't partying somewhere, somehow.
The dumbest students and the smartest criminals. Some town we got here.
I also saw where University of Maryland was ranked No. 10. That makes (2) MD higher education facilities as being ranked as inferior to other nationally reknown institutions.
My opinion - if they are referring to UMES being lumped-in with College Park then I would have to say that one is better off to not even bother to go to college as UMES is an absolute disaster.
