Who Was Named Best College Town In Country? Ann Arbor.
© Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports
According to WalletHub, whoever they are, here are their top 10 best college towns in the United States...

1. Ann Arbor, MI
2. Orlando, FL
3. Rexburg, ID
4. Provo, UT
5. Austin, TX
6. Las Vegas, NV
7. Scottsdale, AZ
8. West Lafayette, IN
9. Tampa, FL
10. San Diego, CA

The towns were measured on three factors: "wallet friendliness,” social environment, and academic and economic opportunities, and ranked each on a 100-point scale for each town.

Austin, San Diego, Vegas, Tampa, Orlando are not "college towns," they're big, tourist-friendly cities that happen to have colleges in them. When I think college town, I think a small city that revolves around the school--Knoxville, Athens, Gainesville, Oxford, etc. shite list.

Criteria genius. Wallet friendliness, social environment and academic and economic opportunities. Not party schools.

The criteria and premise of the entire ranking are utter shite. Why even say "college towns?" Just say cities. Ranking the top "college towns" implies that you are, in fact, ranking a specific sub-group of cities that are considered college towns. Nobody considers Vegas a college town. Nobody considers Orlando a college town. The entire idea of including economic opportunity in a college town ranking is retarded. People don't go to Oxford, MS to get a job. They move there to go Ole Miss. Hence the reason Oxford is actually a college town. This dumb ranking is analogous to publishing "the 10 most dangerous dogs" and having #1 be grizzly bear.

That list is retarded. #1: I know I'm biased, but Athens, GA not even being in the top 10? Terrible. #2: Half those cities aren't even "college towns." Orlando? Las Vegas? San Diego? Who the hell considers those college towns?

I came here to say that about San Diego. I spent Thanksgiving week there and there was absolutely nothing there that said college town to me.

Because it's not a college town whatsoever. It's a city that has colleges in it. I honestly don't know why these websites/rankings have such a difficult time understanding what it means to be a "college town." It's a town that's primarily known for the college there. Athens, GA...Oxford, MS...Eugene, OR...Norman, OK...Lafayette, IN...Morgantown, WV...seriously, why is this concept so difficult to grasp?
