Auburn's night life leaves much to be desired, but I do like the small town feel.

With that said Athens in a landslide.

Athens has the most bars, pretty women, scenic downtown, great music, and some good eateries. There's no debate on who's the best college town in the southeast.


'scenic downtown'? Some bars/restaurants doesn't make it scenic.

Chris Fowler of ESPN said he didn't care for Athens and he's been to a lot of college campuses. He said Athens has too much flannel.

Nashville isn't really a college town though. That's like saying Atlanta is a college town because tech is there

Atlanta is a college town. this is like 5 or 6 colleges downtown, Georgia state being bigger than G Tech I believe. then there is Kennesaw state university out in Marietta.

the chick fila bowl and sEC title game is played there.

atl has more college kids downtown than all or most any other city in this country.

Athens beats every college town in America except maybe Madison, Wisconsin and even that's arguable seeing as Madison is a city

it doesn't beat every other college town, for everybody. you obviously like bars, and it does have a lot of bars.

Keith Fowler, ESPNer who's seen a lot of campuses, didn't have Athens in his top 5. I believe Blacksburg was in it.

I think Clemson is better.

Wiscy is way too cold to be argued as best one. lol

Jamie, we don't GAS what Fowler says- not an ESPN thread. And Clemson is a friggen joke. Sorry, just is.

lol, ok. it isn't too bad if we got Watson out of Georgia.

it isn't about espn, it is about a man who seems fairly reasonable who has seen a ton of college towns. he can compare better than most can.
