They got Bozeman correct.

I’m just curious what college is even in Metarie?

Here's their methodology. It would seem they really mean "TOWN". Still doesn't explain Lawton and Metarie. I guess they party hard at Cameron U and UNO.
(and it is UNO. It is listed at #40)
>>Methodology
We gathered a list of college towns and narrowed it down to cities with fewer than 250,000* residents. We kept in mind that the metro areas surrounding the smaller towns would also include the student population.
Using data from the United States Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, we analyzed overall population, student population, rental costs, college education rates, transportation access, unemployment rates, and bar availability.
From there, we narrowed it down further by weighing the cost of living, unemployment rates for 20–24 year olds, and easy access to the city.
*Maine, Hawaii, and Alaska did not have college towns with a population of less than 250K that met our criteria, so they are the exceptions.<<

“Bar availability” alone should have excluded Rexburg, Idaho. Home to BYU-Idaho. A school that has a dress code in a town full of Mormons. No thanks.

Rochester,MN is not a college town. It is a Mayo Clinic town.
Mankato or Winona is the correct answer.

Metairie? WTF?
I prefer Charlottesville to Blacksburg, the "Hokie stone" on all the buildings is somewhat depressing.
Gainesville blows.

Blacksburg sucks. Charlottesville is the best college town in Virginia.
