Yes, I really thing Michigan is prettier than Georgetown. [/quote]

Ann Arbor is not prettier than Georgetown, DC. You sound ridiculous. Again, "college town" lists are literally for sale. Ann Arbor has crumbling roads, strip malls and a dozen new hideous 10 to 20 story builder-grade apartments surrounding campus. It's an ugly Rust Belt town. Fittingly, all of the post cards from Ann Arbor feature the football stadium. Because that is the shrine you worship, a marvel and the center of attraction in a dreary and grey Rust Belt college town.

Off the top of my head, the best college towns include Cambridge (MA), Boulder, Austin, Athens (GA), Chapel Hill, Santa Barbara, Burlington, Oxford (MS), Georgetown...[/quote]

Michigan native and I agree.  The UofM campus is beautiful, but the city of Ann Arbor is pretty dumpy. [/quote]

Every morning this month Ann Arbor has been single digit windchill with grey skies and dirty snow on the ground. Rusted out Volvos driving pot-hole filled salted streets. How majestic. :roll: But don't believe your eyes or the weather reports, some obscure website we've never read claims Ann Arbor is the best college town in America![/quote]

Ha ha. Yup, an old Volvo with a Save the Planet bumper sticker and an ex-hippie driving it. That's Ann Arbor.[/quote]
