Not surprised. Temple is in a warzone and there isn't enough police/security to protect the students
I really appreciated Lawrence when I first went there, but it was summer so it was a lot quieter than it would normally be. But even then, the vibe seemed really chill.
Iowa City isn’t as bad as people here say it is. Very similar to Lawrence. Gets a lot of undeserved hate. But I’m probably biased.

It's actually based in Iowa Falls. I'm pretty sure. Which down by the river is kind of pretty.
Madison Wi, freshman NWICY went to Madison on a club trip went to the Kit Kat Klub(?)saw people doing lines of coke on the 2nd level that was a eye opening experience for small town Iowa kid.
Figured the partied way harder than my group that I ran with at ISU.

Outside of Big 12 schools, Auburn, AL and Bloomington, IN are ones I visited that I liked.
Drove through State College on a road trip once and echo that it's kind of an odd vibe.
Highly populated state like PA with two large metros, and PSU is in the hinterland outpost. I'm sure that's part of the charm though.

Northern Michigan University in Marquette is awesome. Lake Superior, the breweries, restaurants, hiking.
Was there about 10 years ago and joked to my mom that it's where I should have gone to college due to the outdoors adventures.
The reply was that I would have never graduated because I would have never gone to class.
The access to that kind of water to walk around in that setting is incredible.
Iowa City's a classic college town. I really enjoy it.
It's just the rivalry thing. Most of my friends who went to Iowa loved coming to Ames as well. Both are objectively awesome college towns, and anyone who's slamming one or the other is doing it from a place of bias that has nothing to do with the community itself, IMO.
Lawrence honestly felt like a combination of Iowa City and Ames to me. It had the slick downtown that was very reminiscent to Iowa City, but then when we went towards the stadium and bar hopped at the little bars that randomly pop up in residential neighborhoods near the stadium, it very much reminded me of West Ames and places like Thumbs and Mothers.
Anybody else been to Durham?
The town is kind of rough but the Duke campus is really cool. We were walking around and found Cameron Indoor, doors wide open and nobody there so we went in and got some pictures on the court. This was in July.

You would have loved this place in Athens.

I had really wanted to do that game, but I had a one month old at the time and had already kinda started harvest.
Yes. The campus was nice (as most are) and good restaurants. The traffic was heavier than I like.
