[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Almost by definition, a college town won't have non-stop flights from DC, too small.  The college towns in Capitols like Madison and Austin are lots of fun but much bigger than typical college town, Cambridge strikes me as not a college town though it has a pretty good university or two.  College towns have cheap bars, cool places to stroll around and tend to be funky, Cambridge doesn't really fit that, even Harvard Square.  As people have noted, Chapel Hill is very nice, and about an hour or less from Raleigh (though it is not as easy to get in and out of as it used to be since American dropped it as a hub), Bloomington is surprisingly lovely, about the same distance from Indianapolis where Southwest flies non-stop, and there are many more but might not be in places you are looking -- Iowa City, quite nice, Lincoln Nebraska again very nice college town,[b] Ann Arbor is too but I think it is 1 1/2 hours from Detroit, don't think many people fly into the Metro airport since the main airport has lots of nonstop flights.[/b]  I agree that Charlottesville is too isolated, at least for me, and Williamsburg just strikes me as weird, though I am sure that is not everyone's take on it.

Sorry to butt in...just wanted to correct a couple of things.

Ann Arbor is less than 45 minutes from Detroit.  Second...Metro Airport IS the MAIN airport that people fly into.  It is the big international airport in town and it is in between Ann Arbor and Detroit. [/quote]
