re: If you had to choose one college town to live in..

Simply having a university doesn't make a city a college town. Just about every major metropolitan area in the US would qualify as a college town. I've been told that Arizona State is a commuter campus, so I don't think Tempe would really qualify in that respect anyway.

For real? My impression of a lot of Montana is that it was kind of dumpy. I thought Bozeman sucked.
I'd go...
Santa Barbara
Chapel Hill
Madison
Bloomington, IN is a pretty cool little town. Eugene is cool, too.

Since we are in the process of buying a second home in Golden, CO, I'll say Boulder. We love the area.

Charleston, South Carolina
Burbank, California
Although neither are really "college towns"
ETA: Chapel Hill is really nice too.

I should have moved to Colorado years ago. Now I'm sure it's too overpriced.

Some of these are huge cities. Wouldn't college town be a town or city that only exists/thrives because the college or university is there? Clemson may be the only town named after the school. Chapel Hill and Athens would be a nice place to settle in.

Plus Arizona State is in Phoenix, that would be like calling New Orleans or Atlanta college towns.

Different strokes, I suppose. Western Montana is awesome.

I haven't seen much of it, mainly just from the highway. Spent much more time in the West and think it's pretty awesome.
