Athens, GA at #1 is the right answer
I’d say it’s #2 after Provo.Athens, GA at #1 is the right answer
Manhattan, KS was like 23 or something and Miami was near the bottom so I'm not sure reality or common sense was part of any of this.USC is in a terrible area. UCLA is right between Beverly Hills and Bel Air. Surprised it's not higher.
Can we do more than ban @Froglaw ?#BanSteel

I think Lawrence is too low and Waco is too high.
Funny. I was on a trip this weekend with some buddies from TCU that have lived in Austin the past 7 or so years and they were all saying the same thing. Said the charm that made living in Austin so fun in the past is rapidly deteriorating and that the homelessness situation is worse than I could ever imagine.Anyone who thinks Austin is a top 5 college town hasn't been here in years. The homeless situation has spiraled out of control. And crime on the ut campus is horrific. There are still some cool places to visit in and around Austin, and some great BBQ, but this city is dying under the homeless crisis. And in non-covid times, there's a shooting down on 6th street every weekend. Will only get worse.
God I miss FW.
So I live in Buda, South of Austin and I love it here. The homeless deal will end this summer after the May 1 vote on camping and as things open up. I hate it obviously but Covid made downtown a Walking Dead situation and the homeless took over. Post Covid, they will all be gone.
My vote is for San Marcos. It's an awesome college town...yea, a little grungy and dirty but so cool and laid back. It's like the whole town from the college kids to the 65 yr old adults all have the same vibe and attitude. Tons or bars, restaurants and of coarse the river...San Marvelous should be Top 3.
Not a P5 but Pepperdine is the clear #1 for me
Waco is like Odessa without the fun part.

BingoI have lived in Austin for 14 years and it sounds like your friends are a little [ muschi ]
Definitely need to address the homeless situation but it’s far from a crises.
