The rankings are based on college visits and data collection done by the Princeton Review, as well as feedback from students, parents, faculty and staff.

UD is also a top 25 party school according to Barstool Sports, a digital pop culture and sports outlet. Barstool Flyers, a popular social media page among UD students, is an affiliate of Barstool Sports.
