How did this thread make it to 3 pages without Tillman commenting on how great Clemson is because of the lake?? UGA looks like a mill town according to him, and bing maps said that there are only 8 bars downtown.

I'm sure he'll be in soon to shite on Athens and Columbia

Not as many true college towns in the SEC as you would think. Nashville, Knoxville, Columbia, SC, Lexington, BR are not college towns.
Athens, Auburn, Oxford are the definition of college towns. Tuscaloosa is a college town but is surrounded by third world ghettos. I enjoy Knoxville but there are about 500k I think in the metro.

Knox County has a little over 450k
The Knoxville metro is close to 850k

You really need categories. Nashville is impossible to place with the others. Athens is the best overall and the most fun. Tuscaloosa is a fun town to see a game and party in but isn't really an idyllic southern college town like Oxford and Auburn.

I know Starkville doesn't have as much to offer as a lot of towns, it is what it is.
But when you take in to consideration Gainesville and CS are 5 times larger and still shitty, whats ya'll's excuse?
Don't even get me started on Baton Rouge, I've never wanted to leave a place so fast in my entire life, and it's the GD state capitol.
ETA: capital*

Downtown is booming and looks like a complete mess from all of the construction that's been going on about 2 years now.
Ya, there was a lot of construction so I can acknowledge that was defiantly a factor.

Make sure to come back over the next few years. Knoxville's brewery scene was recently compared to Asheville's 10 years ago. It's been exploding along with the rest of downtown.
I'm sure I will, I also didn't get to see as much as I would have liked. It was a beauty drive though and reminded me a lot of Fayetteville in that sense.

Those dumping on Columbia, MO have apparently actually never been there. It's consistently on the list of best places to live in the US and really is a great collage town, and it is a true college town.
Population is about 115,000 and Mizzou is currently sitting at about 33,000 students. You also have Columbia College and Stephens College right next door.
The downtown area is great, but they need to stop building so many high rise student apartments down there. Bar scene is pretty good, but Mo law does make them shut down at 1AM. Pretty good choices for foot all around as well. Pizza, burgers, some of the best steak you'd get anywhere in the country, even several sushi places for something different...just can't get a great BBQ place for some reason.
Lots of parks and trails close by to, allowing for anything from lots of ground for public hunting/fishing and camping, trails for ATV's, and of course the Katy Trail which crosses Missouri along the Missouri River.
There's several wineries, over 10, all within an hours drive. There's also some pretty good micro breweries in Columbia now.
Don't let that garbage from last fall taint the town, it really is pretty dang nice. Thankfully Mizzou pretty much has new leadership in place so I don't think we'll ever see a repeat of that.
On a side note, I've lived in COMO for 25 years and I've never heard that slogan the author mentioned.

Bourbon Street is a must)
Any time someone comes in from out of town and has never been there before, I take them to Bourbon street at dusk so they can say they went. Other than that, it is miserable during Carnival season.
I'll post up at Laffitte's late night, but other than that, it's a bunch of slack jawed hayseeds in from out of town, shelling out $12 for Hurricanes and Hand Grenades.

You're just mad because your shite town is so low on the list.
Columbia, SC should be lower on this list TBH. I mean, look at this shithole. Columbia, SC doesn't look like a college town. It looks like a city filled with inner city thugs.
This was a very childish response.
