<p>For most, living here would be boring, but for me it’s awesome. The only reason is Hoagie Haven. Completely makes up for everything else the town lacks.</p>
<p>Binghamton, NY isn’t so bad… It does have some life to it during the school year. And Vestal (the actual town SUNY Bing is in) is pretty good but definitely not a “college town”</p>
<p>New Paltz isn’t that great at all… There is legitimately nothing to do there (its one small town for sure).</p>
<p>But anyway, NYC is one of the best. Boston and DC too.</p>
<p>Madison, Austin, Ann Arbor for towns thats still have a college town feel. NY Boston are fine major cities but hardly have a college town feel. Cambridge MA is a good college town.</p>
<p>Davis is horribly boring and there is nothing to do. Also, college students come to Davis expecting it to be this hippy, recycling, compost pile-making, bike-riding, liberal town and it really isn’t. The college students who think it is make it that way… Why would you want to be around that?</p>
<p>ohio university in athens :)</p>
<p>What do you guys think about Burlington, Vermont? Good college town, or nah?</p>
<p>Ames, Iowa is the ** worst ** college town ever. I can’t wait to transfer.</p>
<p>I really like Madison and Columbia, Missouri.</p>
<p>I go to SUNY Plattsburgh, and the town of Plattsburgh, which is across the lake from Burlington, is a pretty quiet college town… basically there are house parties and that is about it… very small city. I mean, it is a nice area, very pretty with all of the mountains. However, as soon as you leave the city and town limits, everything gets extremely rural, unless you take the 45 minute ride to Burlington.</p>
<p>I’ve heard some good things about Burlington as a college town. It is very hip and UVM has a nice campus.</p>

<p>Davis is only boring for boring people !
How can you not find the fun in Picnic Day, HouseBoating at Lake Shasta, whole earth festival ?
that’s some annual big things
otherwise every day , something is happening !
if you r part of a club or frat/sorority or just be outgoing, you can never say Davis is boring. If you don’t do anything, just stay at home then definitely Davis is just a cow town</p>
<p>Boston, sorry kids.</p>
<p>Another vote for Ann Arbor. Pretty much limitless opportunities for anything you would want to do, and the entire town is dominated by the university culture. Most places you would want to go are walkable but there’s good public transportation too, which is free to students. And you can always tell when it’s a game day just by looking outside.</p>
<p>The whole earth festival is such a poser-run joke. It’s an excuse to get messed up on various different things. Drinking and getting high are pretty much the only thing to do in a town like Davis.</p>
<p>New Orleans!?</p>
<p>I agree with Versii.
Boston alllll the way :)</p>

-tons of parades, festivals, and events going on all the time. whether it’s apple harvesting, 4/20, gay parade, etc</p>
<p>I’m going to have to agree with the people stating DC and Boston. Even though these are cities not towns there are so many colleges around it makes for an awesome experience. I go to school in DC. There’s Howard, Georgetown, GW, American, Catholic, Galludet, UDC, and Trinity. And Howard, Georgetown, GW, and American are all within the NW quadrant, meaning they are close. The metro train can get you pretty much anywhere and due to the large number of college students and interns in DC it creates a fairly young enivornment. Plus there are many 18+ nightclubs and great places to party like Adams Morgan and U Street. I love it here and I’d never go to school in a traditional college town that would be boring.</p>
<p>However I am fond of Blooomington, Indiana. AKA B-Town.</p>
<p>Gambier, Ohio! It is very quaint and you are surrounded by cornfields, but it is DEFINITELY an experience like no other.</p>
<p>Honolulu, Hawaii. The island of Oahu is kind of a college island though…you pretty much can’t get ANYWHERE on UH Football game days:D</p>
<p>Boulder, not to big but so laid back</p>
<p>Not exclusively a college town, but how about Asheville, NC, home to UNC Asheville? Gorgeous mountains, hipster vibe, great music scene, tons of restaurants.</p>
