It depends on the college. I'm in Austin today. There are tons of restaurants and a big music scene near campus, but also lots of young pan handlers and old druggies that enjoyed the night life a bit too much. I wouldn't want my daughter attending school in an urban setting where I had to worry about non students wandering around the campus at night. While Georgia Tech is in mid town Atlanta, the campus is nicely separated from the city. I never saw too many thugs wandering around on campus. Maybe they were afraid of us. Usually it is the nerdy guys that go postal and shoot places up.


this is just ridiculous. austin is one of this country's best cities, and tech is about six blocks from the hood.

Knoxville has the best urban/college town feel.


I'm not saying it's the best place in the conference, but it strikes the perfect balance IMO.
