[quote=Anonymous]For my kids having a town with the basics that was walkable from campus was important. They didn't have cars (at least not at first, my junior does now have a car at school) and do want to get off campus to go to the grocery store, see a movie, eat someplace different, shop at thrift stores. DD ended up at a small, residential college in what to me is a fairly blah small town but she likes it. Says it has everything she needs. She did rule out one college because there wasn't a town walkable to it. DS is at Virginia Tech where nearly all students move off campus after 1st year so the town is important because that's where you live. My experience was the same in a mid-size public university in a college town where most students lived in apartments and houses off campus.[/quote]
