Seriously. Iowa was my DD’s safety and we just went to admitted students day and fell in love. It’s an awesome town. It’s now her top choice!

My college town was much in the 90s! Loved it!

Auburn, for the win!

Chapel Hill used to be a great town. Now it's overrun by RTP madness.

+1

Where T is accessible and not too far from the city.
Through Fenway to Boston Public Garden alone, there are a ton of things to do.

Agree. Still okay but definitely not like it used to be! Same with Boulder. Scenery still great but town is now yucky place for college. Oxford MS is charming. And Gainesville used to be dump but nice now. But Auburn, and Madison win with Ann Arbor, Athens, and handful of CA towns right there.

Nice school and definitely one of the best college towns.

Don’t disagree. I will say Carrboto (a town right next to Chapel Hill) has more charm at this point. It’s more of grad students/postdocs place.

Is Claremont really nice? We walked through the campuses last spring break, but there didn't seem to be much of a town. Maybe we missed it getting on and off the highway
