People who live in Tuscaloosa love it.

Go to the OT, and figure out what your fanbases opinion is about Baton Rouge. I can't think of almost anything redeeming about it.

And another vote for Fayetteville.
Not quite like any other in the SEC.
To catch an autumn game there and
grab a taste of the town around
campus is a great combination.

Feel like most people that stay in their college town after college do.

Because they can't get out and go anywhere else/better.

There's a lot of nice hills and lakes around the area for great outdoors activities, and it doesn't smell like a combination of petrol runoff and corndogs.

Though Baton Rouge does have racist Mardi Gras parades, so you have that going for you.

I'm in Fayetteville, and it's really nice. I wish the music scene was better. But I've enjoyed my time here.

There's also one of the best rivers in America to paddle about 90 minutes away.

No, I've been to Tuscaloosa for 6 LSU games and a few other times for various reasons and it's a very fun college town.

I wouldnt want to live there if i wasnt going to school but you said college towns and to that end it's top 3 or 4 and i've been to them all except the columbias

If it weren't for New Orleans, they'd give a damn about Louisiana. And most of y'all hate the city. But without it, we'd be saying Thank God for Louisiana.

I would rank Baton Rouge at the bottom. It's Jackson, MS with a major University.

Used to be easy to pick up chicks from the Bama Beach Club (is that still open?). I guess that's a positive.

Tuscaloosa's metro hasn't grown much, but the city itself has grown 26% since 2000. Going from 78k to nearly 100k is pretty good.


True.

Since 2000, 67% of all of the population growth in the state of Alabama has occurred in just 5 counties:

+80,000 Madison County (Huntsville)
+67,300 Shelby County (Hoover/Southern BHM Suburbs)
+43,900 Lee County (Auburn)
+42,100 Baldwin County (Daphne/Fairhope/Gulf Shores)
+41,200 Tuscaloosa County (Tuscaloosa)

+141,330 All other 63 counties in the state

No other Alabama county comes close.... not sure what would be next. Probably Autauga County just north of Montgomery, but its only grown by about 11,800 people since 2000.

There are really only 5 growth areas in the state. Everywhere else is just growing naturally with hardly any new people moving in.
