When you think of party schools in Texas, the Texas State, Texas Tech, and the University of Texas are all probably the institutions that come to mind.

But a new leader has emerged, one that you probably wouldn’t expect, either.

In a new survey from the Wall Street Journal, Texas Christian University in Fort Worth was just recognized as the SECOND-best party school in the nation!  TCU was only edged out by Indiana University of Pennsylvania, which is northeast of Pittsburgh.

TCU earned its ranking due to its “high morale following the Horned Frogs football team's run in the College Football Playoff and the school celebrating 150 years.”

Another school in Texas did manage to crack the top five, with Tarleton State University coming in at No. 5, and Prairie View A&M University also cracked the top 20.

The top 20 colleges for partying in the U.S. include:

1 - Indiana University of Pennsylvania - Main Campus
2 - Texas Christian University
3 - Birmingham-Southern College
4 - James Madison University
5 - Tarleton State University
6 - Savannah State University
7 - Tulane University
8 - Washington & Lee University
9 - University of Dayton
10 - Alcorn State University
11 - University of California - Santa Barbara
12 - North Carolina A&T State University
13 - Colgate University
14 - Florida A&M University
15 - Prairie View A&M University
16 - University of Georgia
17 - Augustana College
18 - The Ohio State University - Main Campus
19 - Jackson State University
20 - The University of Kansas
