I always see post about which college town this.. and which college town that.., but they usually refer to small towns in the middle of nowhere that depend on the college or university for it's survival. I'm curious as to how people feel about the larger cities that offer a list of institutions as well as a variety of entertainment and/or career opportunities. I started to add cities from other regions like Boston, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, New York, etc. but I don't want the thread to turn ugly so I'll keep it southern.
Which of the cities do you think offer the best life for the college student in terms of course offerings, entertainment/nightlife, career development opportunities, and whatever else you can think of. Of course, different cities will be more or less suitable for different types of students.
