Bloomington, IN.

15 miles west of Brown county and it's in the center of the foothills of southern Indiana.

It is BEAUTIFUL!

Nothing really compared to Ann Arbor or Madison. I've learned to tolerate Champaign here, but that's not saying much. Bloomington, Indiana is said to be vibrant, but I thought Iowa City was nicer.

Columbia, Missouri I think is a great Midwestern college town. Kirksville, Missouri is another one.
