UA students are among the nation's elite partyers, according to a Playboy ranking released Friday.
The magazine's May issue rates the University of Arizona as the No. 5 party school in the country, beating out rival Arizona State University by 10 spots.
The University of Miami was crowned the top party school, with the University of Texas-Austin, San Diego State University, the University of Florida and the UA rounding out the top five.
Playboy said the rankings were based on five factors, including the amount of bikinis, brains and sex on campus.
"We took a scientific approach to the ten best by developing algorithms to equally weigh all of the things that are crucial to the college experience," the magazine writes.
The rest of the top 25 schools were ranked based on "the quality of Playboy U submitted nominations," the magazine wrote.

Playboy listed ASU, a longtime regular atop the party school list, at 15th.
Even the blurb describing the UA contains a subtle dig at the larger in-state rival: "ASU is nice for a weekend but four years are better spent at the U of A in Tucson," the magazine wrote.
