[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]You cannot possibly do worse than Knox College in Illinois. It's midway between Peoria and the Quad Cities, and 3 hours to the closest major airport (O'Hare). [/b]

I think Texas Tech, which is not a LAC, has to be mentioned in any discussion of "worst location." [/quote]

I went there and agree the location (and weather) was terrible!  However, the complete lack of anything else to do, combined with a very small student body, made for very close bonding and "make your own fun" activities.  Also, nothing/nowhere to spend money, zero social pressure to have all the nice things or dress a certain way.  So many academic opportunities, clubs, rec sports teams, etc. and because it was so small you could do almost anything without having to try out or make a major time commitment.  I got research grants and did summer research, which helped me get into grad school.  We socialized with our professors, they would have students over for dinner and stuff.  Just really down to earth and chill people.  The best tradition was "flunk day" where they canceled classes for the day (by waking everyone up in the dorms at dawn) and had a huge party day with music, games, etc. I had a blast there!
