Don’t expect to see the University of Hawaii at Manoa on the Princeton Review’s list of top party schools.

Nor will UH-Manoa be among the review’s best 376 colleges, best Western schools or best values.

Manoa students do party, and the school considers itself a top university. But the school’s undergraduate program hasn’t been in the Princeton Review’s college guides since 2007, when students gave the campus mostly negative reviews, ranking the campus low for such items as "dorms like dungeons" and "long lines and red tape," and stated that "professors get low marks."

The Princeton Review surveys students to compile 62 ranking lists that cover student college life, academics and demographics.

But UH-Manoa students haven’t completed enough surveys to provide a representative sample since 2008, when campus administrators stopped helping distribute the surveys, said review spokeswoman Jeanne Krier.

David Soto, the review’s director of college and university surveys, said student participation is at the core of the review’s college guides.

"We go directly to the source, what we consider our experts: currently enrolled students," he said. "We didn’t receive enough participation from the school (UH-Manoa)."

Soto said the surveys are available online, and students can fill them out even if schools don’t publicize them.

UH administrators say they want to cooperate with the review but haven’t heard back from the review since 2009 on how they should publicize the student surveys.

UH-Manoa spokesman Gregg Takayama said he believes students will give the campus much higher marks than in 2007.

"Since then we’ve made significant progress," Takayama said, noting that the campus now has new dorms and has spent millions of dollars renovating the old dorms.

As for the review’s infamous top party school list, Soto said: "Certainly a vibrant social scene is important to some students. Some students want to go to a school where they do well academically and have a robust social scene outside of class."

Takayama said he believes UH-Manoa students will not score the school high for its party scene.

"There are other things we do well," he said. "I think we’re happily in between (partying and academics)."
