I was a CU ticket holder for a decade. The over 30 fans are just normal cfb fans. The student body is largely entitled California trash. Not friendly at all, borderline malevolent and shitty to visitors. Boulder itself though, is a spectacular college town.
I’d put Happy Valley or Boise on that list and de-list College Station . It’s too fricking boring, dry and vanilla despite the great fan base. I’d rate the stadium experience and fan base high but the city itself low.

Yes.
As far as I can remember, this the first of probably thousands of "best college town" lists that make it on this board that has ever included COMO. I suspect that there are some SI writers and editors that hold journalism degrees from Mizzou.

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.

College Station being included is laughable, especially over Charlottesville.

No Chapel Hill....and
includes Knoxville. Nobody thinks of Knoxville as a college town.
Knoxville < Chapel Hill < Boone
I would have also included Athens, Ohio.

And here's why Columbia is on the list:
quote:
Joan Niesen previously covered the Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves for FOXSports.com. She graduated with a degree in economics from Georgetown University and a master's degree in journalism from the University of Missouri. She also interned at the Dallas Morning News and Sports Illustrated.

I have heard good things about Madison before.
Isn't that the place where they riot and burn couches when they win anything? Sounds great.

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.
