<p>The United States Naval Academy.</p>

<p>are any of these good, cuz ive gotten into these schools and im trying to pick which ones good:
- Bloomington, IN (Indiana University)
- Columbus, OH (Ohio State University)
- East Lansing, MI (Michigan State University)
- West Lafayette, IN (Purdue)
- Miami, FL (UM)
- Washington D.C (American University)</p>

<p>I wouldn't consider major cities to be "college towns" (NYC, Boston, etc.).</p>

<p>I've been to 25 or so college towns and in terms of fun - Madison comes to mind.</p>

<p>madison WI</p>

<p>Evanston, IL?</p>

<p>There are only three true college towns in California and they are all great places to live and go to school:
Chico/Chico State
San Luis Obispo/Cal Poly SLO
Davis/UC Davis</p>

<p>UC Berkeley (berkeley, san francisco)</p>

<p>Bump........bump...bump</p>

<p>Gainesville
Athens
Auburn
Austin
Madison
Berkley
Cambridge</p>

<p>ewww gainesville? everyone from florida (even gators fans like me) know that gainesvill is the armpit of the state. seriously, that place is swampland and a stadium and nothing more.</p>

<p>Greenville, NC is a town that revolves around it's university (ECU). It's a shame they really have not had a competitive football team in years, but def. a lot of tradition and spirit there.</p>

<p>Boulder, CO is wonderful.</p>

<p>Acarta, West Lafayette is the most boring college town I've ever visited. Great school, but - yawn - bor-ing.</p>

<p>I'm partial to, ahem, East Lansing</p>

<p>People love IU too.</p>

<p>Columbus is a fun city, but the college area is a little run down, but pretty good.</p>

<p>You should really visit, though.</p>

<p>Columbia - NYC
UCLA - LA (duh)
IU - Bloomington
Harvard/MIT - Cambridge
UChicago - Chicago</p>

<p>what about DC !!!!</p>

<p>Have to be FSU and Tallahassee.</p>

<p>Gainesville? You're kidding...Gainesville is Starke, FL with a university in the middle. Rednecks and driving to Jax or Tampa.</p>

<p>Miami? You're kidding, too. Miami is NOT a college town at all. Waaay too expensive...plus, take the wrong turn and you may not come out.</p>

<p>Ann Arbor, Cambridge, Ithaca, Iowa City, Madison</p>

<p>IMHO big cities shouldn't be classified as college towns at all (since they are not towns but cities) but they can have great college/university neighborhoods.</p>

<p>Tallahassee, yes I'm biased. Other cool college towns that I've visited, Tempe, Tuscaloosa, Statesboro, Chapel Hill, Austin, and Athens(GA). Gainesville isn't too bad, even if it's full of gator fans.</p>
