most awesome/most boring college towns

College Life

<p>what are the most laid back, fun college towns? what are some towns that have been branded with the name “college town” but absolutely suck?</p>

<p>what’s there to do in the best college towns?</p>

2

<p>Boston, LA and New York City may be undoubtedly the most fun college town but is in no way deemed as ‘laid back’</p>

<p>Boring would be something like Amherst, NY</p>

3

<p>westwood village (region in west LA)
go to UCLA !</p>

4

<p>Ann Arbor, MI. Can’t beat it.</p>

5

<p>Chapel Hill, NC is a great one, and would probably qualify as the best in the country on certain occasions (NCAA tourney time, Halloween, during the UNC-Duke basketball games, etc.)</p>

6

<p>Nyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu</p>

<p>;)</p>

<p>( It won’t capitalize for some odd reason!?)</p>

</p>

<p>NYU?! Hahaha give me a break. I’m pretty sure that would qualify as one of the worst college towns… at least as far as campus goes. New York is cool, but not really what I call a traditional/best college town.</p>

8

<p>Apparently, College Station, TX is boring. I’ve heard the same about Lubbock, TX.</p>

9

<p>SUNY New Paltz has a artsy, funky college town with a 60’s feel, view of the mountains, LOTS of restaurants, bars, coffee houses with trendy shops alongside a mountain climbing store, tie dye shop, tattoo parlors. Musicians playing in the streets.</p>

10

<p>Montreal</p>

<p>The nightlife is amazing and the legal drinking age is 18.</p>

11

<p>If I had to choose, I’d never pick a college in a big city without a campus-like feeling. New York is ok (just ok, housing and parkig are utterly expensive and it has a misplaced European desing, too few malls etc.), but a place like Ithaca sounds very interesting for a college life.</p>

12

<p>NYC is not a college town, and NYU does not have a campus.</p>

<p>That is, of course, why I’m here. :)</p>

13

<p>Binghamton, New York HAS to be the worst college town ever…(what college town?)…but we still had a blast (although the drinking age was 18 back in the dark ages)</p>

14

<p>Boston New york and dc are great college towns</p>

15

<p>Seattle is pretty bomb</p>

16

<p>

</p>

<p>Those are cities, not college towns.</p>

17

<p>American in DC is amazing!</p>

18

<p>Ann Arbor, hands down.</p>

19

<p>Beijing</p>

<p>I hear the smog and police brutality are the bomb</p>

20

<p>I think NYU is in an excellent college town.</p>
