[quote=Anonymous]West Lafayette, Indiana. Hands down. The Big 10 has some of the country's best college towns. Madison, Bloomington, Ann Arbor, Iowa City- quintessential. Urbana-Champaign...not as revered but not terrible. Same with Lincoln, NE. Columbus and Minneapolis are awesome mid/large cities that offer a lot beyond the university. Evanston is a gorgeous inner ring suburb of Chicago and has great access to all the city has to offer. College Park...not winning any awards necessarily but good access to all the DC area has to offer and has made strides over the years.

I can't think of ANYTHING redeeming about West Lafayette. It's not close to anything interesting. It's ugly. The only other school I didn't list was New Brunswick, which is meh also, but at least you're on the fringes of a gigantic metro area and can be in NYC in an hour. The beach and other large cities aren't too far either. There are some huge, revered corporations in the area for internships and such. But West Lafayette? Nothing. Purdue is an awesome school and my DD loved their engineering department, but WL was a dealbreaker. [/quote]
