1. Athens - great college town, nice areas around for night life, food, shopping, small town feel in a big town, very good tailgating, etc.
2. Baton Rouge - 2nd largest metro area in state.
One of top game-day destinations in the country for tailgating, food, pre-game atmosphere, beautiful campus, loudest stadium, etc.
Very good night life, restaurants, casinos, one of largest malls in South,
Renowned architecture, museums, parks,attractions.
3. Oxford - quintessential college town, fun-loving, great tailgating, old-school feel, great food, wonderful traditions.
4. Tuscaloosa - see #3, but with a larger wider area of attractions, restaurants, etc. Very nice campus, architecture, spirit, tailgating.
5. Auburn - very friendly people, beautiful campus, great tailgating, nice spirit and energy,
tradition, another old school feel.
Not too much difference in the Top 5.
6. Knoxville - beautiful river, tailgating
7. Lexington - very nice stadium area
8. Starkville - open area for tailgating
Never been to College Station, Little Rock, Columbia, Nashville, Gainesville, So Carolina but I'm sure they're all just as good.

That's a plus?

7 weekends a year it's tolerable!

beautiful campus
Pretty average campus if you've seen even half of the campuses in the SEC.
quote:
loudest stadium
Once upon a time before the rest of college football expanded and upgraded their stadiums while Tiger Stadium stayed rusted out, broken windows, desperate need of power washing, and choked out with asbestos. It's only that cool in your own minds.
quote:
Very good night life
Tigerland, Bogies, and the boring downtown don't make this "very good."
quote:
restaurants
Better than most SEC towns.
quote:
casinos
It's pretty jank. Does anyone really go anyway?
quote:
one of largest malls in South,
Hooray!

¿Que? Blue Bayou?
Baton Rouge is the worst.

Your bar scene is honestly one of the worst I've experienced at a major university. The bars themselves aren't bad but there's like one strip mall with two or three that's kind of in the middle of nowhere and then the rest are all scattered around. You can't walk between any of the areas and none of them have that much to offer where you can stick to it and barhop. And there are no cabs. Not having a centralized nightlife area really kills it

How the Frick is Gainesville getting rated so highly? I mean I guess depending on where you're from it may seem exotic because it has palm trees. But don't let that fool you. Its a shite hole with Nazi cops and a-hole fans.
