they cant put UT first in everything...

I thought the brief writeup on Austin was good. The person that wrote it has spent some time here. What makes this city great is the people who live here, their attitude. The biggest thing missing in the writeup is the lake scene. Devil's Cove and Carlos n Charlies are a great 12 hour one-two punch and then downtown, but dont drive. 2222 is not a good road for drunks, BIG NASTY BLOWUP wreck about a week ago, and people have driven off the cliffs.

HA HA HA HA HA ...

COLLEGE STATION!?! The ONLY person that would regard that cow flop as a nice college town could never have really been there....what a shit hole.

 

[BigDaddyNole]

I wouldn't trade those rankings for FSU's perennial listing in Playboy's "Top Party Schools"

 

[Two-Niner]

Agreed, College Station is piece of shit.

 

[drunkguy]

Madison also not all its cracked up to be. A lot of very Ghetto areas there, although not as bad as Ohio St...

Since I was the one who started this thread, I have to chime in here about my current college town that wasn't listed. Tempe is a nice drive-by city if you like to see the college babes. Drive on University Ave. between Rural and Mill during the lunch hour anytime between the beginning of Sept. and the end of Oct. Lots of tight shirts and short shorts.

Then there is Mill Ave. at night during that same time. Lots of night-life and lots of ladies walking around. Check out the local bars to find the ASU babes. Damn they're fun when you get them drunk.

Try downtown Scottsdale, AZ if you want a little bit of an older crowd. I could go on but you get the idea.

Worst CAMPUS:

New Mexico St. (I seriously don't remember the city)
The place even smells like SHIT!

Iowa St. (ames)
COLD and UGLY... accurate descriptons of both the campus and the women!

Eastern Michigan (Ypsi)
Why stay here when Ann Arbor is next door and Suburban Detroit up I75???? Exactly, You go somewhere else...

SDSU, San Deigo.
What a location, we all should be so lucky!
