Every time I drive through a small college town there’s something about it that makes me think “hmm, I could probably live here” and I don’t get that feeling when in other towns. Why is that?

    not to me.

    I stayed in a college town for a summer in a state college prep type program, so I would have been at the perfect age to really enjoy the “college town” experience. it’s not really for me. and it doesn’t really have much of anything to do with the town itself. I liked the place that I stayed in. however driving over 30 minutes to go to a place as middling as a japanese restaurant was not so appealing. having services around is important to me, so unless it’s a giant college town like lexington, ky I’m not going to be interested.

    ps. I’m not going to live in lexington because lexington sucks.

      I’m not sure you and op share definitions of college town,

      Driving a distance to get food, especially foreign food, is the anthesis of my (and presumably op’s) idea of a college town.
