ummm guys I think we’re forgetting New York City. NYC tops every college town out there–even Boston.



Well, that depends on what you call a college town - and to that, I would say that NYC probably doesn’t qualify. To be a “college town” means to have a significant percentage of college students within the population, and while I can’t give you an exact cutoff, NYC probably does not qualify by any reasonable metric.

Now if we were just talking about what are the best cities, then that would be a different story entirely. Sure, I agree, NYC is arguably the most interesting city in the world. But we’re not talking about that. We’re talking about what is the best college town.
