<p>Finally, a "rank" I completely agree with!</p>

<p>It doesn't say "best", it says "perfect". :)</p>

<p>Thanks for posting that! I'm driving through Vermont in a couple of weeks and was trying to decide where to spend a little time--looks like Burlington may be the place!</p>

<p>Unfortunately, three of the towns listed are quite expensive (Boulder, Berkeley, and Burlington), which can be a limiting factor in actually enjoying the fruits of said town during college. Personally, I would have liked to have seen a bit more diverse array of locales in the list, with places like Iowa City, Ithaca, and Pittsburgh (a larger city with numerous in close proximity) in the mix. Oh well.</p>

<p>But aren't those places all packed with hippies?!?</p>

<p>What's wrong with hippies? ;)</p>

<p>And I also agree with Lesser Perfesser. They should have made it a Top 10, and included a bit more variety. All of the towns on the list are great, but they all have a very similar feel. More variety, and maybe a few "hidden gems", would have been nice.</p>
