[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As far as pure fun and college spirit go. I’m guessing it would be between Harrisonburg, Blacksburg, or Charlottesville. But if you think another town fits the bill, I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts as well. [/quote]

Harrisonburg? Come on now...[/quote]

Why not? The bars there seem to have a cool, quirky vibe. [/quote]
Sure things have changed since I attended 90 years ago, but as I recall none of the bars are near campus. Everyone had to drunk drive somewhere. [/quote]

My sibling graduated from JMU 20 years ago.  They say the scene is much better now.  And there is a bar literally right across the street from campus.  The downtown is cute; and there are plenty of places to eat and drink. Our kid loves it.

Another kid at Tech.  Blacksburg is much smaller but cute.  I don't think you can go wrong with either.

We have no kid in Charlottesville but I think that may have the best vibe of all of them.

But also love downtown Fredericksburg.  More shops than either Blacksburg or Harrisonburg.

How is Blacksburg much smaller than Harrisonburg?  There is a ton of stuff geared towards students immediately off campus. [/quote]
