Best College Towns You've Visited

No love for New Brunswick?

 

From the "otherwise a wide spot in the road" perspective, Starkville has to take the case. I didn't see much ville. They should just call it Stark.

Clemson is pretty high in that category, too. Not much town there. As Lewis Grizzard once said, It's Auburn, with a lake.

 

The University of New Brunswick at Fredericton? See everyone at the Hill Top!

 

Iowa City.

 

Laramie's always good for a nice homophobic beating-to-death.

 

Well if I have to include places that would get along fine without the colleges there (which doesn't exactly make them college towns does it?) I have to include Columbia SC.  At least the Five Points area.

Least favorite college towns:
Greenville NC -- Not totally a true college town anyway
Statesboro GA -- the town should reflect a college of 15,000 and it doesn't
Radford VA -- It's a hopping place at 3 p.m. on Friday when everyone is leaving

 

Athens, Ga.
Oxford, Miss.
Columbia, Mo.
Boulder, Colo.
Austin, Texas

 

I'll say it: Bowling Green, OH.

 

Great place to go if you want to get a case of herpes.

 

Speaking from personal experience, I presume.

 

Christ. Now I have to make a doctor's appt.

Columbia, Mo., Bill? Are you kidding?
Ogre, all those bars are what make Tempe great. Send your daughter there; make some frat boy happy.

 

Madison
Iowa City
Ann Arbor
Boston
Chapel Hill
Charlottesville

and Granville, Ohio gets honorable mention just because Jennifer Garner went to Denison
