Honestly if there's a better college town in the entire US of A than Athens, Georgia, I have not found it yet.
With apologies to West Lafayette, Tucson, Tallahassee, Madison (though great), Bloomington (Ind.), Urbana/Champaign, Baton Rouge, and others I'm forgetting.

@JoshGreen1234 Athens reminds me of Bloomington, IN a bunch!
@JoshGreen1234 Have you been to Auburn?
Fort Collins is another that could probably qualify. Terrific place, but ATH gets the highly subjective nod.
@JoshGreen1234 I found Athens very underwhelming. I was expecting a bigger city and given its reputation, I was disappointed. It's also absolutely dead in the summer, which isn't unsurprising, but I'm confused why people rave about it.
