<p>Honestly, I’d put UNC in there, not UConn. I’ve been to Storrs. And as a Penn State grad (really nice college town) I was aghast that a state flagship had NO college town. Nada. We kept driving around, thinking we’d missed it … there was no “it” to miss.</p>
<p>It’s one thing to be in the “middle of nowhere” when that means a cute, lively college town. It’s another thing altogether to be TRULY in the middle of nowhere.</p>
<p>Editing to add: sorry, I didn’t realize this was an old thread. If you’re looking for a good college town, Rutgers isn’t your choice. I’ve heard the campus is kind of split in two, but someone more familiar with it can expand on that.</p>
