Can anyone give me a list of top college towns?

<p>Ann Arbor and East Lansing, MI as well as Madison, WI are all quintessential college towns. I’ve also heard great things about Boulder, CO and Chapel Hill, NC. And although they aren’t the typical college towns any Washington DC, Seattle, or Boston school would be a great place to go to college in terms of the population of young people and there being all sorts of stuff to do.</p>

<p>Ya’ll can’t forget Newark, DE. Great college town.</p>

23

<p>

</p>

<p>Davis, CA is the same way.</p>

24

<p>Ithaca
Burlington
Ann Arbor</p>

<p>There is only one top college town.
Malibu, CA (home of Pepperdine U).
Nice weather. Nice (looking) people. Nice cars. Nice beaches. Nice houses.
What more can you ask for?</p>

<p>On the east coast, I’d have to say Manhattan. Although it’s not your typical “college town”, it’s a great town to go to college in (think NYU).</p>

<p>I’m not a sucker for the traditional “college towns” like 99.8% of you here are.<br>
Each to his own.</p>

<p>I don’t go to school in a traditional college town. I grew up in one, and I loved it, but then I had to leave. I go to school in a suburb of a fairly large Upstate NY city. Yeah, one of the main roads in the city is right down the hill from me, and SU is only about 10 minutes away, it’s still not really the college town feel.</p>

</p>

<p>i guess i’m in that 0.2%</p>

<p>I’m only applying to schools in cities, I’d also disagree on Malibu being a college town, I’d say the only college towns in CA are Davis, SLO, and maybe Santa Cruz if you stretch the definition a little.</p>

<p>lol UCDSjake
when i say college town, I mean a town where I would like/love to go to college.
Not a town that revolves around a college.</p>

<p>do u go to UC san diego? if yes then, then u SHOULDNT be transferring :wink: its too nice there.</p>

<p>New Orleans
Mardi Gras, live music, great food, Bourbon St., party atmosphere</p>

30

<p>Nah, transferring there from community college next year.</p>

<p>“Yeah, yeah, I know you guys love to fight about that. They then comeback with the fact that ATX has the most proportion of gays in any city in the U.S.”</p>

<p>What fighting? Even people who go to school in College Station say there isn’t anything to do in College Station. That is why I was laughing. Does college town = boring town?</p>

<p>Power to the gay community then. : )</p>

<p>Fine, I’m sorry for the bad suggestion then.</p>
