<p>What are some the better college towns? I would like a perhaps a top 5 list.</p>
<p>Austin, Ann Arbor, Gainesville, Chapel Hill, Boston</p>
<p>State College</p>
<p>My personal top 5 in no particular order..</p>
<p>Austin
New Orleans
Chapel Hill
Fayetville, Arkansas
D.C... I hesitate to say D.C. , though, because it's so expensive. Same goes for Boston.</p>
<p>These lists are good.</p>
<p>Boston, definitely. :D Soooo many schools are around that area. Plus people say that during the summer, when school's out, about 1/3 of the Boston population is gone and that all the businesses lose profits during that time.</p>
<p>no chicago or ithaca... hm....</p>
<p>Bloomington, IN</p>
<p>Beantown, MA</p>
<p>Bloomington, IN
Athens, GA</p>
<p>Lexington, Kentucky</p>
<p>Part time work on thoroughbred farms offices. Great basketball.</p>
<p>Madison, WI ... Madison, Madison, Madison!</p>
<p>Ithaca, Burlington (Vermont), and Boston. Also really like St. Paul, MN in the neighborhood where Macalester is located.</p>
<p>Boston during the summer and over winter break is the only time I could find myself breathing in that city. I wasn't a student.</p>
<p>Ithaca, Ann Arbor, Madison, Burlington</p>
<p>Ithaca? Instead, Berkeley, Boulder, Madison, Bloominton, Ann Arbor, Boston, DC.</p>
<p>Berkeley for sure...except for its stupid, liberal city government.</p>
<p>Northampton. I like it so much I'm tempted to move there myself.</p>
<p>ummm guys I think we're forgetting New York City. NYC tops every college town out there--even Boston.</p>
<p>Boston and D.C. don't exactly qualify as towns.</p>
<p>You will be hard pressed to find a higher quality of living at lower cost than Ann Arbor, Madison, Burlington, and, yes, Ithaca.</p>
<p>No no no, not Fayetville, Arkansas</p>
