Well that makes a little more sense. Ttown on a gameday in the fall is a hell of a town.

That was the toughest thing to balance. Even though Tuscaloosa doesn't have the best city, the game day experience is much better than a lot of other cities on the list.

Columbia is pretty shitty, you have to admit. Maybe it's not as bad as Starkville, but ultimately if you're below 10 it doesn't matter.

I played in an ITA tennis tournament there a couple summers ago. Nice campus, but wasn't the biggest fan of the downtown area. Also never been to a game day there so it was hard to rank that city for me.

When was the last time you visited Knoxville? I ask because our city and campus' unofficial motto is: "Welcome to Knoxville: We're Always Under Construction."
Both UT campus and KnoxVegas have changed tons over the last few years, mostly for good. The Strip went through a living death period that saddened me but it looks like it too is being reborn. UT/Knoxville is a place you almost have to rate by the year.

I have only been to 7 of them and you got those wrong.

Columbia is a great place. Obviously not the best, but there's plenty to do and great scenery. So no, I don't have to admit that.

Tough to argue this. Ttown is a decent city. Not too expensive. Big enough to have most shite you need/want close. Amphitheater finally bringing great acts to town. Laid out well. Not hard to find your way around. It does have its rougher area, but they aren't that close to campus. Wish there were better spots to fish.

What? Bar scenes for college and older crowds. A couple hours away from the beach and the mountains. Etc etc

The best part of Columbia is 5 points, and it's laughable.

Have you spent more than one day in Columbia?

Lexington way too high. But yeah, top 3 are way better than the rest IMO
I ranked Lexington that high because of the basketball game experience that no other SEC city has to offer and the horse racing events which I've heard are a blast.

Greenville is better. They have Furman. Nicer campus too.

Give it a shot when you've got more flexibility.
It'll shoot up your list--I promise.

I guess Atl is way better than Athens, way more to do.. Oh and it has GT.
