[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of all the flagship public colleges in the midwest it think its not accident that Ann Arbor (MI) and Madison (WI) have the best location with the rep of a cool midwestern city vibe  and enough going on to make it desirable.

Although in the case of Ann Arbor a lot of that is due to the university.[/quote]

In both cases I think its bc of the university (the city has grown around the university) but IMO both Madiaon and Ann Arbor are better cities than the locations of Nebraska, U Illinios, Iowa or Ohio State, which in turn boosts those colleges. [/quote]
Iowa City is one of the best college towns in the country. Lincoln is the state capital of Nebraska. Columbus is a growing city with a great economy and lots to do. Urbana-Champaign is the only one I'd say is really looked at as a negative for most people.[/quote]

Of those 4 I agree Iowa City is the best college town. But i dont think Lincoln Nebraska or Columbus Ohio is anywhere as good a location as Ann Arbor or Wisconsin. Just being the capital is not enough - Madison is the capital; its not what makes it a cool funky town. Its more the vibe of the city, the lakes, the charm of the downtown.  Ill admit I have spent almost no time in Columbus but I have in Cleveland and I think similar to Madison/Ann Arbor it has the more dynamic vibe. [/quote]
