Who Was Named Best College Town In The Country?

Criteria genius. Wallet friendliness, social environment and academic and economic opportunities. Not party schools.

The criteria and premise of the entire ranking are utter shite. Why even say "college towns?" Just say cities. Ranking the top "college towns" implies that you are, in fact, ranking a specific sub-group of cities that are considered college towns. Nobody considers Vegas a college town. Nobody considers Orlando a college town. The entire idea of including economic opportunity in a college town ranking is retarded. People don't go to Oxford, MS to get a job. They move there to go Ole Miss. Hence the reason Oxford is actually a college town. This dumb ranking is analogous to publishing "the 10 most dangerous dogs" and having #1 be grizzly bear.

I came here to say that about San Diego. I spent Thanksgiving week there and there was absolutely nothing there that said college town to me.

Because it's not a college town whatsoever. It's a city that has colleges in it. I honestly don't know why these websites/rankings have such a difficult time understanding what it means to be a "college town." It's a town that's primarily known for the college there. Athens, GA...Oxford, MS...Eugene, OR...Norman, OK...Lafayette, IN...Morgantown, WV...seriously, why is this concept so difficult to grasp?

Who considers those good towns at all? As someone raised there, frick Orlando.

It's WalletHub, not fratstars.com

If you read the criteria, you wouldn't be asking such a stupid question.

You're an angry elf.

Shows you don't know shite about Tampa. St. Pete has the old people.
