Colleges in drab, dull, ugly, or boringly remote towns

Your definition of drab, dull and boring is different than mine. We saw charming, historic, unique, beautiful.

+1 Love Charlottesville and Williamsburg!

Blacksburg checks all three boxes. It also checks the hick box which is nice if you're into that sort of thing.

Nope, not even remotely. It's an entire city and DC has never been better. St. Mary's College of Maryland, more like.

OK but College Park ain’t the district of Columbia

+1
And SMCM is in a beautiful setting.

Just as they do when surrounded by bars for as far as the eye can see - as in, urban locales. College kids drink, period.

Ah, the usual malcontent has found the thread. Here are the boxes Blacksburg checks:
- mountainous
- small town
- charming

As for “hicks,” aren’t you charming. Locals can be found in any college town, including Charlottesville and Williamsburg.

Maybe Williamsburg but not Charlottesville. No rednecks like are in Blacksburg populate Charlottesville to the same extent.

DP. You have it backwards. Lots and lots of country folk surrounding C’ville. Williamsburg is mostly cranky retirees from New Jersey.

The UVA booster is back! Sorry, Charlottesville and the surrounding areas are just as “country” as Blacksburg and any other town in VA. Also, the way you write makes it pretty obvious you know more than your fair share about rednecks.

Ithaca is gorges...

I spent a summer in Ithaca. Absolutely hated it. Dreary and depressing. And that was in the summer, not in the winter when it is cold and full of snow. But I also did not have a car so could not explore the surrounding area so perhaps that would have helped. And I don't question why others might like it. To each his own. I did love the Hot Truck at Cornell, but I gather that is long gone.

So many Judgey McJudgey-faces here.

Winston Salem is a small city, and is blessed with North Carolina weather.

This may come as a surprise, but for some students off-campus distractions aren’t a significant consideration. Besides, the rural schools tend to have large campuses that are great for jogging or biking. And more time on campus can mean more serious academics and more meaningful, lasting relationships.

Guessing you received a summary rejection from that university which remains your mind 24/7? You wish you went to UVA and your jealousy of those who did is sickening.

You ARE backwards and are likely the product of a ghetto or slum or redneck holler. Stop trying to mischaracterize the city which the university you were rejected from summarily years ago calls home out of sick and insatiable jealousy.

I went to UVA. Time for bed now.
