Fayetteville is a perennial member of "best of" lists. Hog Town is laced with lakes and hiking trails, hosts a great farmer's market and has a solid public school system.


I love my town.

Sounds about right. We are the highest ranked SEC school on the list.

I dont get why people consider state capitals true college towns. If the college isnt the reason people know the town exist then it shouldnt be considered a true college town. Also if its considered a city instead of a town then its not a college town. Just my opinion on Austin being in there. Its a great city, but its the capitol of Texas, come on

Is the guy in your avatar the guy from Upright Citizens Brigade? If so, is he an Arkansan or something or is the pig stuff a part of an act?

The poll is Top College Sports Towns, Why not Baton Rouge? It has 2 Universities, something is always going on in the sports world. Granted we do not have a Pro Team like some of these places have but after all it is Top College Sports Towns not Pro towns. Also you do not have to drive a 100 miles for an airport to go anywhere in the USA. Had the least people affected by the latest down turn in the economy and also LSU had NC's in not 1 but 4 Sport's over the last 10 years, that's Football-2 and Baseball-2, and Southern had 2 NC's in Black College Football not to count the Conference titles that these 2 well knon Universities has also.

Baton Rouge should have been in the top 10 or even top 5 for that matter!

Forbes should stay away from sports articles and rankings. This isn't the first shitty list of something theyve cooked up

That part of Arkansas has some serious corporations/money. No doubt it should be on this list.
