<p>OK, Men's Journal may not be the best judge of college towns, but still a nice mention.</p>

The beauty of college towns is that they often have well-educated residents, a vibrant arts scene, affordable housing, and a cool commercial district. In winning its spot on MJ's Best Places to Live list, bloomington shows off some of the finest examples of each, plus plenty of surrounding green space.
