Arizona No. 4 on Playboy's list of party schools
The University of Arizona is back on the list of top party schools compiled by Playboy magazine.
The Arizona Wildcats last made the list in 2009 when they were No. 5.
The school is ranked No. 4 in the 2014 edition of the magazine's Top 10 list of college party schools. Playboy has published the rankings for nine years.
Last year Arizona State was No. 9 but the Sun Devils have fallen off the 2014 version.
The 2014 rankings were determined by Playboy editors using information from the National Center for Education Statistics, the NCAA and the U.S. Economic Census. They also considered access to nightlife, musical events and the creativity of social gatherings.
