***College Towns to Visit***

I spent a few hours in Starkville, MS (Mississippi State). I was visiting our location in nearby Columbus, and Starkville was the closest place to get dinner and drinks with the team. Didn't go on campus, but wasn't super impressed with the town or surrounding area.
Rapid City, SD (South Dakota School of Mines) is a cool town. But feels like it's "a geographical oddity, two weeks from everywhere" on the far western edge of the state.

Spent some time with the wife's cousin in 2015 in Evanston and loved every minute of it. There were 2 breweries we went to that are now closed and I'm so bummed because I never made it back to them.
Been to too many college towns to count, I remember Fargo being surprisingly cool.
Ferrum, Virginia, on the other hand... woof.

I thought Ithaca was pretty cool, but mostly looked at the campus not the town itself. Not to start any cave talk, but I guess the city government is somewhat known for some off-the-wall (read: EXTREMELY leftist moves)
Right on the lake was a great setting. I half-way considered going to grad school. (Didn't) but if I could have that probably would have been my first choice.
I've been to Clemson a couple of time for work and really enjoyed it. Came through on Hwy 93 going across the part of the lake there and saw a couple of teams rowing on what looked like glass as the lake was so calm.
You’d be pretty hard pressed to go to any town in Ohio with 15k+ that doesn’t have a school or schools even.
Had an internship in Minneapolis and 4 or 5 of the 30ish interns were EE majors at UND. They were all nice and fun to go out with on the weekend but damn did they like to brag about trekking to class in blizzards.
I was in Grand Forks at UND once and when we left the hotel around 7:30 in the morning, went out to the parking lot and got into the car, the external temperature read -61.
That's 61 degrees below zero. Coldest day of my life. But other than that it was pretty nice.
I hear Elsworth and Fort Dodge are beautiful this time of year.
I got a marketing mailer from them in high school touting their dorms with A/C. WHAT ABOUT THE DAMN HEAT?!?!?
Visited Fargo for the first time last week for work and the downtown area was much cooler than I expected it'd be. Pretty fun town
Yeah we all knew it gets really harsh up there, it was just funny that these 20 and 21 year olds were already bragging about walking up the hill into the wind to and from class. Especially when besides one kid who was from Texas Tech, I was the furthest south of all of us at ISU.
Downtown Bozeman has just about everything a person needs.
I think you meant to say anytime instead of this time.f
