Gosh, encourage the kids to at least take a walk into “town”: they will live in their car the rest of their lives.[/quote]

Something tells me there isn’t actually a town to walk to for some of these colleges.

My campus was pretty self contained. It wasn’t really walking distance to anything, despite being just outside a city. We had to drive to anything off campus. We definitely did order take out from time to time, though, so I think being close enough for pizza and Chinese food is worth thinking about (as a pp noted)[/quote]
So what was your school? Some mid-size unis and SLACs alike can be wholly isolated from their communities (rural or urban). I mean, most college kids in the United States have grown up in communities with nothing in walking distance. If you can’t take a walk off campus to get a darned slice of pizza or a coffee while in college, when can you? The vast majority (90% or more?) of residential colleges are not isolated, auto-dependent silos — so avoid those that are.
