Syracuse University held on to its No. 4 spot on the Princeton Review’s annual list of top party schools in the country, according to rankings released by the college resource website Monday.

The Princeton Review has consistently ranked SU among the country’s top 10 party schools since at least 2011. The university climbed from its No. 8 spot in 2016 to the No. 4 spot last year. The rankings website named SU the No. 1 party school in 2014.

Here are the top 10 party schools on the Princeton Review’s list:

1. University of Delaware

2. West Virginia University

3. Tulane University

4. Syracuse University

5. Bucknell University

6. Lehigh University

7. University of California, Santa Barbara

8. University of Wisconsin, Madison

9. Colgate University

10. University of Rhode Island

SU made the Princeton Review’s “top party school” list because surveyed students’ answers “indicated a combination of low personal daily study hours (outside of class), high usages of alcohol and drugs on campus and high popularity on campus for frats/sororities,” according to the website.

Here are the other Princeton Review lists SU landed on this year:

• “Best College Newspaper”: No. 2

• “Everyone Plays Intramural Sports”: No. 9
• “Most Active Student Government”: No. 12
• “Most Politically Active Students”: No. 12
