For those of you who are frequent travellers to road games, which would you say is a better experience overall, taking into account the atmosphere of the game as well as the logistics (travel/lodging/etc) of going to the game: schools in college towns or schools in cities?

Uh, not urban campus...

College town by far.

Go to the University of Houston for a good idea of what an "urban campus" is.
It sucks. Hard.

College Town, easily.

I think Baton Rouge offers the best mix. It's a major urban area that has a decidedly college town feel.
I will say that I went to Starkville and despite its bad rep, I enjoyed it. Maybe because I was with an MSU alum and he showed us around.

College town, I love townies.

I do enjoy the college town feel the most I believe.

I read this as having a university with clear delineating lines from the surrounding area. Some universities are built right into the city, and that's what I don't like.
School has to feel as it it stands alone.

mostly college town, but I love some urban campuses (USC/UCLA, UW-Seattle are pretty nice ones)

Different strokes for different folks....

College town, and it isn't even close.
Urban campuses suck, not just for visitors, but for the students too.

For football, college towns.
Otherwise it really depends on what you're looking for. For example, campuses like Columbia, NYU, Georgetown, MIT, Northwestern, Washington, etc... they're in really nice parts of the cities they're in or they're very accessible to all the things you want out of a big city (bars, restaurants, pro sports, concerts, museums, all that shite).

A college town in driving distanc to a city. Also having a campus that feels like it is not urban but a part of the city is also great like Baton Rouge or Knoxville

With few exceptions, urban campuses are better trips. Georgia is one of those few exceptions. Knoxville, Nashville, Lexington and Baton Rouge are all much better trips than the one-horse places most SEC teams call home.

What about a college town w an urban atmosphere. Austin comes to mind.

College towns are good when you're in undergrad. But after you're about 21 or 22 they are just way too boring. I'd shoot myself if I had to live in a place like Tuscaloosa or Auburn now.
