Vote for Austin. Great colleges in the area, lots of outdoors activities, great music and friendly people. I think the Bush girls would agree...

From the growing much too fast city of Austin, the bad traffic capitol of the world.

Clemson is without a doubt the best college town you will come ever encounter!

I can vouch for that nasty traffic in Atlanta too. I know y'all like to rank yourselves, so how does Atlanta rank in traffic this week? #5? #3? #1??????

The best college town? Indianapolis, Indiana, of course, the home of Butler University.

I meant, "go find IT AND bring it home again." What do you want from me? I'm not a Harvard grad.

Clempson sucks eggs.....the only thing there is a stupid Subway......for a "real" college campus go to South Bend!

Traffic in HotLanta this week is about a 3......school isn't back in session yet.....then the nightmare really begins...

That's University of Florida 'edgucashun' at work for you!
"Clempson" University does suck eggs.
But Gainesville ain't exactly Oxford or Cambridge!
While interviewing for medical schools I drove into Gainesville, spent about 10 minutes driving around town and exited straightaway without even bothering to stay for the interview. Knew I could never live there for four years.
Go Blue Devils! Duke is tops!

AMHERST no doubt is the BEST college town...
the reason, in addition to the ones stated above, is that the schools are, in fact, real colleges, and not just minor league facories for pro sports teams.

Now let's be clear here, you don't come to Gainesville to get an education......you come to party and watch football! Don't try to make it sound like we educate people.......we might get a bad reputation!!!!!

Clemson is a trailer park gone bad.....

For Greg (pre-med? - isn't everyone)
So you chose what medical school to apply to by where they were located? Interesting and stupid.
Unless your GPA is greater than 3.8 you would not have been accepted - but you already knew that, didn't you?
