Everyone loves their own school’s town, just as they should.

I loathe these threads (not directed at OP).

If you can’t have a heckuva good time in any P5 college town, the problem lies with you.

Columbia missouri ahead of Boulder is one of the better jokes I've heard on here.

I think even UT folk would agree that Knoxville is more of a Medium sized city than a college town...

All my UT buddies flipped when they came to Athens for a weekend. They had no idea what a college town could be.

So they need to make their mind up. Boulder top 10 town but no way it has game day atmosphere like A&M. A&M top 10 game day atmosphere but doesn't sniff Boulder as a town to visit/live.

Everyone on this thread is going to cry a river because COMO is on this list... but they have probably never been. Pretty fun place for being in the middle of Missouri...

My last comment (I’ve responded too much in this thread), but this is nuts ....
quote:

It takes a long drive through nothing to get to College Station,

College Station is an hour from Houston.
Less if you’re on the NW side of town.
But maybe an hour is far for some people?
Guess it’s all relative.

These lists are too subjective to get really worked up over.

Fayetteville, Ar. routinely lands in the top 5 best places to live in America but not a top 10 college town? Meh.

I've been to Madison and it is a real nice college town. Is it the absolute best in the country? I dunno, Wisconsin winters are nothing to sneer at. Subarctic temperatures a third of the year seems like it would knock the rating down a bit.

It’s like after coming up with the top 4, the person making the list just threw darts at a map.

Austin is a great town and I have vacationed there, but it's a big city, not a college town. For a real college town experience you need to visit Athens, Auburn, Oxford, and even Starkville, or places like Clemson and Manhattan KS in other conferences.
