I'm more on the "College Town" side I guess. But of "college towns" I prefer the larger ones. Smaller than a true "city", but larger than Starkville, Clemson, Blacksburg, etc.

Obviously I'm heavily biased, but Athens fits my tastes perfectly.

Agreed. Athens is about as perfect as it gets. As far as size/layout are concerned Columbia is pretty much exactly the same. While I'd argue that the on campus atmospheres are equally nice, Athens as a whole is better. However, Columbia's downtown area (a couple blocks from campus) is about as ideal as it gets.

STFU. Your opinion doesn't matter if you like your school's city.

I like Athens and was going to say this.

I like a smaller city with in close proximity of a Metro area like Atlanta. It makes the weekend a lot of fun when you can go to bars in either place.

I would prefer if LSU's campus was somewhere in between NOLA and BR. It would make a great trip to go to NOLA for the weekend and ride up for the game. To me Starkville is just too remote.
