<p>I saw the best college town thread, now how about best college cities.</p>
<p>Some of mine would be:</p>
<p>Boston
Chicago
Twin Cities</p>
<p>Seattle!</p>
<p>Safe. Clean. Nice people. Fabulous food. Good public transportation. Easy access to amazing outdoor activities: skiing, hiking, climbing, water sports. Beautiful natural surroundings: Mt. Rainer, Elliot Bay, Lake Washington, Lake Union. Excellent shopping. Great cultural scene. Funky neighborhoods.</p>
<p>NYC...if you can handle it.</p>
<p>New Orleans.</p>
<p>Harlem... Nice people, good food, good drugs... How can you beat it?</p>
<p>Boston/Cambridge, Washington DC, Philadelphia.</p>
<p>Umm...not New Haven, that's for sure!</p>
<p>Seems like everyone listed large cities... so I'll name two small ones, then larger ones.
( Ones I can currently think of)
East Lansing, Michigan
Ann Arbor, Michigan
Boston, Ma
Minneapolis, Mn
Los Angeles, Ca
Washington D.C
New York, Ny</p>
<hr>
<p>Debateable locations:
Chicago metro
Miami metro
San Fransico metro
Portland metro
Denver metro
Atlanta metro</p>
<p>New York- it has gotten cleaned up a bit.
I hear Atlanta is ok.</p>
<p>Easily Cambridge, MA... home to Harvard/MIT/Phead128. <-- let me be revered like HYPSM! :D</p>
<p>the highest # of students are in </p>
<ol>
<li>the boston area(harvard, mit, tufts, boston college, umass boston, bentley, brandeis, wellesley) </li>
<li>the philly area(penn, drexel, temple, st. joes, haverford, swarthmore, bryn mawr, villanova)</li>
</ol>
<p>third is probably NYC. not sure.</p>
<p>Of the big cities, Chicago and Boston would be my faves.</p>
<p>Washington, DC
Santa Barbara,CA
For entirely different reasons</p>
<p>Boston
Chicago
Washington DC</p>

<p>I'm sure BU and Northeastern feel good about that, because they're actually IN the city...</p>
