What's the Worst College Town in America?

[Razgovory]

St. Joseph Missouri was pretty dreary when I was up there.

I spent two days in Tallahassee and it was enough to decline FSU. I also spent a few days in Bloomington during the mid-2000s and it was one of the most boring places on Earth.

But being an Euro, maybe the whole college town concept was too alien for me.

I've never been, but I hear State College, Penna. is a contender, at least if you are anyone but the target demographic.

EDIT:  Also: Storrs, Conn.

It is pretty country up there, though.  Thing is, PSU is large enough to be a self-sustaining city in itself.

Frostburg State, out in western Maryland--the panhandle part--is nothing but an endorsement of alcoholism.

Can a state capital really be a "college town"?

I judge Florida university campuses by their serial killers.

Tight call, but Advantage:  Seminoles.

That used to be my pit stop on my trips between WV and DE.  Dunno if it's still there, but Fat Boy's always had good sammiches.

We have towns in Germany that are mainly defined by their universities and don't have much else, so the concept exists in Europe as well. Tübingen, Göttingen, Marburg etc.

College Station

I was just up there about a month ago for the first time in a while.  The place is still awful.  It's a whole town made of nothing but strip malls and the Soviet type buildings of A&M.

Rolling had a higher batting average in a much tighter window.  He worked hard, closed fast.
