SI's best college towns

Top five were 1. Madison, WI, 2. Athens, GA, 3. Austin, TX, 4. Gainesville, FL, 5. Boulder, CO.

Have to agree with the top choice. Graduated from there in Spring of '02. I wouldn't trade my time there for a million dollars. Best time of my life. Although I must say I've never heard a bad word uttered about campus life in Austin, either.

Oxford, Ohio to that list! The fighting "Redskins" , I refuse to call them the "Redhawks". Awesome campus with very pretty girls!

It's a very rare day you see even a couple of hot chicks on Madison campus. the extreme lack of them there is a running joke for visitors. That and other reasons I would rank Madison much furthur down on list.

I'll been to all on the list except Syracuse.

Austin has the most hot chicks, but it is the biggest student body of them all. Lots of exotics there too.
And as it sez, if you like live music or movies, that is the place to be. It would be my No. 1 fer sure.


Athens and Gainvesville terrific too. Eugene is poor for music and movies and good bars, but great if you like the outdoors, and those natural outdoorsy chicks that don't shave.


Bloomington is very nice small town with big town music and restaurants (for it's size) and very nice countryside, tho no pristine areas like around Eugene or Boulder. And Boulder is a big party town!

have to visit Oxford someday....

add Laramie, WYO to the list...maybe.. was on the list of top party schools when I was there in the late 80s, booze and bars. All the Wyo kids started drinking about 13 or so. So few people in the state all the fine girls came from out of state. The wind always blows there and the old joke is that any girls under 150 lbs blow South to Colorado....great times..

anywaves - being a '00 alum I will say hands down the girls are amazing. Did you go there? Also, it is a great true college town as the popultion without the students is barely 3000. Best years of my life...

Hellah10- now if we could just get the football team to start getting some W's the school would get more notice for its athletic department. And not just in football.

Good to see the alma mater so high on the list. I will attest that UGA has everything that someone thinking about college could want.

1. Great Education
2. Hot Chicks--and I'll add warm weather so they can show off their ASSets most of the year
3. Good Athletic Program
4. Good Greek system
5. Good non-Greek socail atmosphere
6. Nightlife--62 bars downtown which is about 4 blocks by 3 blocks
7. Unbelievable music scene--R.E.M., Widespread Panic, B-52s--need I say more
8. Tradition
9. Beatiful Campus--North Campus-modern architecture; South Campus-Old Traditional buildings with lots of greenery
10. Great conference--meaning good road games with other hot girls and hot girls visiting every weekend in the Fall.:moon:

This being said, I have always wondered how great it would be to go to University of Texas!

I think the TORONTO PIMPS have unanimously agreed to sjip Toldeo and head right over to OXFORD. I feel like a scholar now!

LOL

You must not have been to the same places I went to.
