re: Urban Campus or College Town?

I like visiting college towns for away games, but I find it almost impossible. I refuse to do so anymore. It is just unconscionable what the local hotels do with their room rates. Oxford is by far the worst. $250.00 a night for a dirty arse room at a Days Inn? You're kidding me. So if you go to an Ole Miss game, you windup staying in Memphis or Tunica. At State, you wind up in Columbus. At Georgia, you stay in Atlanta. Defeats the purpose. That doesn't happen in Nashville, Lexington, Knoxville, Baton Rouge and Columbia,, S.C.
