Nashville and it’s not even close. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great place. Been there several times and always have a great time. Love it. But as far as being an SEC town, it’s horrid. You could spend a week there and maybe encounter two casual Vandy fans.

Columbia. It was also the worst big 12 town
Went for the Bama game a while back and thought it was perfect for a weekend. Small enough to walk all over, nice campus and cool downtown area. I’d go back
Headed to college station this weekend. Looking forward to Kyle Field and Northgate but not expecting too much from the town.

Yeah, like Nashville doesn't care about Vanderbilt, one of the best universities in the nation. Nashville is nicknamed "Athens of the South" for a reason. It takes pride in having a lot of colleges.

I've lived in Nashville for 30 years and can tell you firsthand, Nashville doesn't give two shits about Candy and the other way around just the same. Candy just happens to sit in mid-town. Only a very small percentage Candy's students are Tennesseans and even fewer from middle Tennessee.
Nashville is called the Athens of the South because it has an exact replica of the Parthenon in Centennial Park.

Nashville's reputation preceded the Parthenon replica. See this:

By the 1850s, Nashville had already earned the nickname of the “Athens of the South” by having established numerous higher education institutions; it was the first American southern city to establish a public school system. By the end of the century, Nashville would see Fisk University, St. Cecilia Academy, Montgomery Bell Academy, Meharry Medical College, Belmont University, and Vanderbilt University all open their doors.

Yes, you can pretty much ignore anything a Kansas Jayhawk says about Columbia but you can't blame the Jayhawk for saying it due to the rivalry.
As far as College Station. Since relatively nothing was there until after WWII it lacks the charm of the old college neighborhoods like you have surrounding other universities. Everything is 1950s or later and a lot of the 50s stuff has been torn down and redone. Northgate bars are fun and while the campus isn't stunning there are some nice areas and it is nice and compared to most has plenty of space and open areas.
As far as the old Big XII Lubbock is the worst simply because west Texas is basically ground and sky. Not a lot to work with.

I have been to all 14 SEC towns multiple times. College Station is the worst. It has no redeeming qualities.

Nothing's wrong with Columbia, S.C. Nice town square and the atmosphere inside the stadium is something to behold. Especially, a night game!

Baton Rouge, that place is a septic tank in the middle of a toxic waste dump.

Athens. It’s basically mos eisley spaceport a few billion years behind in technology.

People love to shite on Starkville when they haven’t been there in 20 years if ever. It’s not a bad town. It’s come a long way and has a bunch of new stuff. It’s cool if you like a real college town in the middle of nowhere. If you think being close to a major metro and a lot going on outside of the university makes a good college town then I guess my perspective is wrong.
BR is a shite hole. It’s ghetto. Full of traffic. Parks suck. College bar scene is absolutely awful. The only time BR is cool is 7 Saturdays in the fall and a handful of weekends in the spring for baseball.

Agreed. Starkville is grossly underrated and routinely shite on by a bunch of arsehats that have never been there.

It’s a bunch of city soy boys who hate places that don’t have a Starbucks on every corner. Like sorry we don’t love traffic and clubs playing lizzo.

Our only issue is certain parts of town and homeless.. but the areas people would come to for staying here and seeing a game are nice. The Vista, Main St., the stadium, and Five Points (if you want to attempt to pull an Urban Meyer) are basically the only places you'd need to go to.

College Station has everything you want in a college town. Campus is not located in a shite hole. The town revolves around Texas A&M.
Decent bar scene right across the street from campus.
Golf Course on campus. Another one in Bryan not even 15 mins away.
Its location makes it 2-3 hours from Dallas, Austin, and Houston.
Like an hour away from Lake Conroe to wakeboard/tubing.
Aesthetically not that pleasing, but it gets the job done for your time in college.
