Olin College Among Most Sober in the Country
New rankings from The Princeton Review say Olin College students are not the drinking type.
Needham is home to one of the country’s “stone-cold sober” schools, according to new ratings from The Princeton Review.
Turns out that students at Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering aren’t ones to throw back the bottle.
Olin College ranks 16 out of a list of 20 of the country’s most sober schools. The Princeton Review released its 2014 edition of “The Best 378 Colleges” on Monday, which included lists of both the most sober and best party schools.

The average student entering Olin has a 3.9 GPA. The school is ranked number two on The Princeton Review’s list of colleges where students study the most, leaving students with little time for keg parties.
A keg party isn’t likely at Simmons College in Boston or Wellesley College in Wellesley, either. Those schools came in 18th and 19th respectively as most sober colleges.
