Yeah, Big10 college towns are considered some of the most liberal bastions in the country.

Hmm. Use your own judgement here.
Twin Cities. Washington DC (University of Maryland is very close).

Pac 12 is untouchable in this. Cal, Stanford, USC, UCLA, UofW, ASU & UofA

Big10 is literally HQ'ed right outside the city of Chicago (Rosemont), right in the heart of Chicagoland.

Rutgers is in New Brunswick, NJ less than an hour from New York City. The U of Maryland is in College Park, just north of Washington DC and 20 miles south of Baltimore. The U of Minnesota is in Minneapolis, U of Michigan is in Ann Arbor just outside of Detroit, Northwestern U is in Evanston, just north of Chicago and Ohio State is in Columbus.

The Big Ten has metro area representation in the 1st (NYC), 3rd (Chicago), 6th (DC), 14th (Detroit), 16th (Minn-St Paul), 21st (Baltimore, split with DC as they're 38 miles apart) and 33rd (Columbus) largest metro areas in the country.

The Pac12 is in the 2nd (LA), 12th (Phoenix), 15th (Seattle), 19th (Denver), 35th (San Jose) and 48th (Salt Lake City) largest metro areas.

One's own judgement should be based off of the visible evidence...

You forgot Palo Alto, LA/Westwood, Salt Lake City, Seattle, Pullman and Tucson for the PAC 12. Is

All of these are great, and very walkable in the university area (even in the big cities).

I don't understand how people can exist in those states. Most of those states are Donald Trump places, LoL.
Hmmmmm, ironic.


It almost seems like that's the type of narcissistic, pompous, devoid of facts and reason post that Donald Trump himself would post. Sad!

Hey Donald, shouldn't you be tweeting something related to your pending impeachment?

Hmmm... if you're going to go down this route, why not include NYC (Rutgers), Philly (PSU and Maryland) and DC (Maryland).


Using my judgment based on your categories, it's patently evident who the winner is. BigTen by magnitudes.


Let's just stop the poll then because we all know the winner. Am I right?

Why are you guys talking about politics on a thread about college towns and college campuses? I don't get it.
