Lawrence is damn near as much of a "Small Metro" as Ann Arbor.

San Francisco isn't 1st? Lawrence isn't right behind them? I think someone has been lying to me.

i bet the cost of living in manhattan hurts us quite a bit in things like this. most college students don't have a lot of money and probably couldn't afford to live, eat, etc. in manhattan.

Champaign-Urbana makes Manhattan look like Monaco.

Title: Re: suck it Va Tech
Post by: Dr Rick Daris on October 03, 2012, 12:57:17 PM
also, manhattan is more of a destination spot that happens to have a kick ass college as opposed to an actual college town with townies and where the whole town just revolves around their little school.

Just got back from Burlington, VT, and I can tell you, it needs to be higher on that list. It's a like a New England-y version of Boulder.  :love: :love: :love:

It's pretty great.
Pros: Lake Champlain, mountains, ~1.5 hour drive to Montreal, quick flights to LGA/PHL/ORD, etc; college town vibe (University of Vermont), lots of good eats in the "downtown" area. Picturesque.

Cons: they get a lot of snow, even more than nebraska; you have to deal with subarus and those hiking sandal thingies everywhere.  :dunno:

looks like not many cons.

Missoula would be fantastic.

It is. Fly fishing, skiing, kayaking, hunting, etc. Not that cold in winter (more Spokane than Chicago.) Decent culture because of the University. Grizzly athletics are an interesting diversion, but will never erode my emaw.
