<p>What are the best college towns in the country </p>
<p>Ann Arbor. Boston (really a college city). Berkeley. Maybe Austin.</p>
<p>Agree with Austin! :)</p>
<p>Athens Georgia is a great, small college town. Home of UGA Dawgs and an awesome music scene downtown.</p>
<p>Charlottesville and Harrisonburg!</p>
<p>With Boston, add San Francisco and Washington, D.C., if “town” doesn’t mean college-centric. </p>
<p>Well, Madison, WI–of course. It is often at the top of these lists. Also, Boulder, CO; Lawrence, KS; Iowa City, IA. Agree with Austin and Athens as well.</p>
<p>Any other ones in California? Im looking for a clean and fun enviorment</p>
<p>UC Davis. Small friendly town with Sacramento 20 mins away.</p>
<p>Oops, almost forgot to mention Williamsburg.</p>
<p>State capitals with a bunch of colleges/university can be great. Check first, though. 
</p>
<p>Are there any good ones in Washington?</p>
<p>Another vote for Davis, CA.</p>
<p>Tally baby home to FSU the biggest party school in the country</p>
<p>Philadelphia has more colleges and unis than every city but Boston.</p>
<p>Ithaca, NY and Evanston, IL</p>
<p>Chico and San Luis Obispo are also great college towns.</p>
<p>Whatever is left of - Goleta/Isla Vista should probably also be on the list. </p>
<p>I can’t believe no one’s listed Chapel Hill yet. Gainesville, Florida is pretty nice too.</p>
<p>A second for Ann Arbor!</p>
<p>A college town is a city/town that revolves around the university/college that is located there. In my opinion, it is not a state capital, large city, or a school that is isolated from its urban/central core. Ann Arbor, Boulder, Athens, Charlottesville, and the like are REAL college towns. Without their universities, they would collapse. </p>
