[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's an interesting question. I love the quaint college town my DC's college is in, but I don't think they necessarily go off campus a lot. It's not a big town--it is just a small main street with cute restaurants, shops, and a couple bars. That being said, I think it adds to the school's charm and makes it a more fun place to visit. Some of the schools we have visited are nice, but the surrounding areas are so depressing. [/quote] My college town was like that and it was fine. We could have used some more clothing stores and perhaps a drug store, but we didn't have the Internet to order from like kids do now. My DD is at school in a small city that's an absolute s#ithole. While there are some bars and restaurants, they are all in a two-block area. She seems to go there occasionally but it's a cab ride away, not right off campus. The rest of the city is a dump and I worry about her safety. I would much rather her be in a small, cute town.[/quote]
