Does party school rank affect applications?

Abstract
Syracuse University, the University of Texas at Austin, the University of Florida, Pennsylvania State University, and the University of Iowa all have one thing in common- they have all been previously ranked as a top party school in the US. I estimate whether being named the top party school has effect on university applications by using panel institution-level application data from IPEDS and party school rankings from Princeton Review. My preliminary results show there is no statistically significant effect on applications from being ranked as the top party school.
